Mis-Steak

Monday 15 September

Grey steak. Sooooo depressing.
We got these lovely thick T-bones from Antipastos, which I promptly proceeded to ruin. We don’t have grill here so I used the broiler, which doesn’t in fact broil. It just bakes. So despite flipping the steak and taking its temperature with the ineluctable efficiency of a night nurse, the steak turned out grey on top, and worse grey all the way though. Next time, I'll pan fry it, no matter hows thick it is, or we'll see if we can't find a grill pan or a nice little grill for the porch— just in time for winter.
The situation was somewhat redeemed by blue cheese butter (haven’t found genuine gorgonzola yet) and some baked/nuked potatoes.
I felt a little better because the little cornichon I'd made two weeks ago came out perfeck (we've been watching the Darling Buds of May).
