    There are those. I don't know if they are
    more common nowadays or if the ever-watchful
    eye of the Internet makes them easier to spot.
    There are probably nasty pigs, too.
    Some, but they have more excuse as often as not than the humans. No

    That's the superiority of the human condition.
    Others are in fact trying to eat us, but we can
    do something to fight back.

    one's trying to eat the humans.

    My reading abilities becoming more idiosyncratic
    by the moment, I read "one's trying to eat ruminants."

    difference was that I seasoned the disaster
    serving with some really old red chile flakes
    from Bonnie's cupboard, which on the second
    go-round I replaced with some of the last of
    the Shipps' extra hot Indian ground hot peppers.
    Some hot peppers do have that effect, at least in quantity. Even
    sriracha will do it if consumed in large amounts.

    The D&D Gold brand Sriracha used to give me
    serious runs whenever I used it.

    I actually like prunes. No fat, no salt, and no added sugars.
    And
    they taste good.
    I have a modest fondness for them myself,
    especially the half-dry ones. No fat is a
    minus in my book, though.
    Yeah well. They aren't the perfect food.

    Beef. It's what's for dinner.

    Prunes in Armagnac
    What does one do with these, besides make very happy prunes?

    Eats 'em. Drinks the juice or slops it
    over ice cream.

    Perfect Porterhouse Steak
    categories: main, roast, beef, NYE
    servings: 4

    2 lb porterhouse steak, trimmed (2" thick)
    1 Tb vegetable oil
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    3 Tb unsalted butter, room temperature

    Let steak sit at room temperature 30 min before cooking,
    which will help it cook quickly and more evenly.

    Heat broiler. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron,
    over medium-high heat, then heat oil in pan until smoking.
    Season steak very generously with salt and pepper and
    cook until a deep brown crust forms on underside (do not
    turn), about 4 min. Transfer steak to a cutting board,
    turning it browned side up.

    Cut meat from bone in 2 pieces (strip and filet). Slice
    both pieces straight down perpendicular to the bone,
    1" thick. Replace sliced steak around the bone (it
    should look like a whole sliced steak) and return to
    skillet, browned side up. Top with butter and broil
    until butter is melted, 4 to 6 min for medium-rare.
    Serve steak with buttery pan juices spooned over.

    No

    Others are in fact trying to eat us, but we can

    Or at least complain about the process.

    I'm chowing on cow for dinner, so it fits.

    It only works on me in multi-tablespoon doses. I sometimes use is
    straight as a cold preventative. Dunno if it works, but it tastes
    better than medicines you take when a cold actually hits.

    especially the half-dry ones. No fat is a
    minus in my book, though.

    Literally tonight. Prunes are what's for breakfast.

    Sounds good to me. Make happy ice cream?
