Breakfast: Kobe A5 Wagyu Strip Steak and Eggs

[Sqwertz]

I've been a bad boy. My neighbor gave it to me.

She just asked for a taste of it - me AND the steak!

Too bad I was out of eggs. So I had a Grilled Swiss and American
on Asiago cheese bread and homegrown tomato bisque with Reggiano
rinds and sausage.

I'll figure the steak (and whatnbot) out later...

A hundred bucks a pound? Hire someone for the carpentry work.

I haven't done any carpentry over there... yet. But why would I
tell her to do that when I can do it half-assedly and get free
steak?

Next up. Her water-logged kitchen cabinet MDF floors which were
totally water-logged at one time and crumbled from the idiot
plumber/water softener guy she hired (I wonder if he got steak
too?).

And I happen to have a bunch of 1/2" OSB and a new jigsaw. So
carpentry it is! The lower cabinet walls are pretty dust, too, so
no chance of even minimal blocking unless I want to rip out the
backs of the cabinets too. I figure I'll just float an OSB floor
propped up with ground contact 4x4's on the cement slab and she
said she'll contact paper it.

After I finish up that hole I put in the wall in an upstairs wall.
My first drywall repair, and around an outlet box. I used that
outlet box to wire straight through to a NEW outlet box on the
opposite side (no pig-tailing except for ground). The NEW outlet
box I put in is pristine! But when I replaced the source new-work
outlet box with an old-work box, I plugged the power strip back in
to make sure everything worked OK! It did. But then as a victory
dance, I slammed the canopy bed back up against the wall and into
the power strip plug and blew out the old-work box and wall. Oops!
One more coat of joint compound, sanding, and paint will fix that
6x4 hole.

Need Repairs? Call Sqwertz! Will work for steak!

I meant to change that to "gifted" after I looked up the link for
the video.

3 thousand bucks for a 20 lb piece of meat at amazon.
Here is a review from 2015...

Bought this TWICE in March and ONCE AGAIN in October of this year,2015. Its kind of dry, some were moldy, and some steaks were brown and spotted with a discoloration associated with heat and temperature fluxuation. I can say that 30% of the portions were absolutely servable, however...spending over 10,000$ in a few months on beef that really isnt on par with some less expensive brands has made me explore other options. My dogs got the spoiled steaks and my dinner guests got the "fresh" ones. One of my guests wasnt happy, deciding to toss his mostly un-eaten piece to my dogs also, stating most un-happily-"how could you buy this 3 times? What about Fukajima Nuclear Reactor Meltdown Contamination?" He then went on to elaborate on this topic, which I hadnt considered. He wanted to call a friend if his who is a Physicist with a very extensive knowledge of Nuclear Energy and its subsequent dangers. His friend has a Gieger Counter and has offered to come to my house and test the remaining samples I have for free. I will post back soon to let you know the results. I still believe its pretty good steak, but Kansas City has Better.

My dad went to the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. When he came back, he told a story about seeing cows that were fed beer and given massages. I was merely a boy but his story sounded a little fishy. A lot of his stories seemed that way. I come to find out later that they were actually true.

I hate to break it to you, but the beer and massages ARE bullshit
(the original rumor was sake, not beer). And its pretty well-known
bullshit. There have been no confirmed first-hand reports of any
farmers feeding their cattle beer and giving massages, though it
is still a widely believed rumor even in Japan.

How in the fuck would a 150lb human give any sort of therapeutical
massage to a 1+ ton steer - An ear massage? And how much weak
Japanese beer would it take that 2,500lb bull to catch a buzz and
relax? They don't even move in the first place - they're plenty
relaxed.
