and thrice-cooked chips. So, posh steak and chips, basically.
It is a frighteningly large piece of meat. :-(

lovingly-made chips. No brownsauce, though. There have to be limits.

My Mrs has f**ked off to the Wales with the kids.
Easter and all that ****.
Tonight will see me sample the pleasure of the “Spice Bag” from the local Gooks. Last night was Indian.

I simply could not get the time off.

Nor would flying over on Friday have really been worth it.
:cloud9:
Pubs are closed all day friday here.
:-(
That is why they invented supermarkets imo.

It wouldn't be a special meal if I just served up a normal sized steak, would it?

Not a drop of alcohol can be bought in Ireland on this day. Chaos tomorrow night in the supermarkets as people stock up Nuclear war style.

Tourists arrive here and cannot even find a drunk Irishman to take photos of.
Bedlam a few years ago when Munster and Leinster were scheduled to play a minor game on the day so a court decision was made to allow people to drink in Limerick, or within certain boundaries of Limerick. Doesn’t take a f**king genius to work out what happened that day.
Mind you I did once get the Rosslare – Fishguard ferry so I could pint.

Did the similar for Valentine's Day. No bernaise or 'French fries' though. Wine reduction with roasted baby carrots and a baked potato. Reverse sear method. Cook at 120C until internal temp reaches 50C. Meat thermometer is a must. Remove from oven and sear in piping hot cast iron skillet. 4minutes each side and 2 minutes on the ends.
The advantage was that you had a 'wider' range of medium rare. Not that grey all around with **** in the middle. All **** from top to bottom. Also, serve immediately, no need for juices to redistribute.
First time I tried it and it was much better. Downside is that you really don't know when it will be done. Lots longer, but how much longer than the conventional method? :shrug:

Edit: Put her posh frock "on Her", I mean, of course. Not you.
