You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

The Six Degrees of Steak Doneness

Ever go to a restaurant, order a steak, and you're never exactly sure how it's cooked, or wonder how much blood you'll find dripping off your plate?

Well... here's the chart of all cooking charts.  You can now determine how precise your steak is cooked the next time you visit your local Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, or Texas Roadhouse.  A little on the bloody side or the burnt side, you decide.  

I know how to cook steaks, because of my countless years in the restaurant business, but for most folks, they have no idea.  So print this out, take it with you, and the next time you learn your steak wasn't done to perfection, pull out your meat and show it to your waiter - hopefully he's hot. :-)

I have many questions here, but the first and most important one has to be.......

...Red Lobster has steaks?

Also, isn't a piece of pure bloody, uncooked meat just down right unhealthy and possibly deadly for you? Oh yeah, I'll have a side of salmonella with my hunk of beef that's just been ripped off the COW!

Last but not least: Who the hell would want to eat something so bloody and disgusting other than a night loving cast member of True Blood?

I guess medium well would be my choice even though my Mama always said, "Don't risk it. Just have them burn it to a crisp." I never did like steak when I was growing up. Maybe now that it don't taste like burn rubber I'll perhaps like it. In fact, next time I'm at a restaurant I will order the steak and ask for it to be....

....blue rare, just to see if those bastards actually have the balls to try and kill me, or even know what it is. Bring it!

Oh my love, I've made steaks for you. You've had the filet mignon medium and medium well. And you've loved it every time. Yes, Red Lobster does have steaks on the menu, you just order the coconut shrimp all the time to even notice.

Your more likely to get Salmonella from poultry products, like chicken, not beef. I think you might get "Mad Cow" if you eat raw beef. :-)
