I bought some 'Shave Secret' a couple of days ago

[Chavster]

We cant buy it in the UK, so I bought it from someone on eBay. I felt like giving it a try. It cost me $10.68 including shipping from Louisiana or somewhere , which I thought was pretty good It should be here in around two weeks apparently.

If I try to get any more shaving supplies into my bathroom though, the house is going to buckle under the strain.

Nawth Ca'alina, rather than Louisiana. I knew it was somewhere in that corner of the country

Only a 9 to 10 hour drive--we go to western NC for the mountains when the heat in August gets too oppressive.  August w/ temps in the 60's and 70's--luxury rather than the 90's with 100% humidity and lows in the upper 80's. And I know the business about London town-- 70 degrees for third day in a row--no relief in sight! 

[Chavster]

Its nowhere near 70 degrees here. I dont know what its like in London, but its probably only 1 or 2 degrees warmer than here.

And if I drove 9 or 10 hours from my house, I'd probably be in Iceland...or Germany... or Norway. And they dont have decent steak either



My idea of pornography.

That, plus a jacket (baked) potato, with sour(ed) cream, and a nice (big) glass of something red. Totally orgasmic.

Mine needs to be well done though. Blood = eww.

Sorry, not only do I have head shaving OCD, I have filet mignon OCD too.

Barbarian!  A steak, of whatever cut, is best if walked through a hot kitchen by a slow butler!  & steak tartare from a nice cut is great too.  Overcooking is bad for the digestion.  Keeps you awake at night.  Causes bad dreams--think Scrooge! 
There are places that would make you confirm such bizarre tastes before they would accept such an order, but you know that.    

[Chavster]

I know, but for me, it has to be well done. If there's any chance of it starting to moo while its on my plate, I cant eat it. I can MAYBE go to medium well if the chef absolutely refuses to cremate it, but generally, it has to be well done.

I would very happily abstain from sex for the next 50 years if I could have a filet mignon dinner tonight, although the way things are going, the former looks like a certainty and the latter looks like an impossibility anyway

if the chef absolutely refuses to cremate it,

I bet that happens to you a lot, especially in the better restaurants.

Just spent my August in the Outer Banks. I do love the heat.

I have to agree with this.   

[Chavster]

Nope, not in America anyway. Nobody has ever refused to cremate it for me, no matter how cheap or expensive the place has been.

I was in Dubai once and the chef actually threw a fit, and came to the table to tell me how crazy I was. This was at the JW Marriott in Dubai, at JW's Steakhouse. He went almost nuts and refused to do it. So I left and went to the Hyatt

[tomgallagher]

I eat mine the way the Cattlemen's Association eats theirs...Well Done.

[Chavster]

See, I'm not the only one

I've seen that happen in the better steak houses of New Orleans, Crescent City, Ruth's Chris, pre-storm of course, Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse.  One restaurant, nationally rated, LeRuth's (chef died) threw the dinners in a garbage bag and asked the people to leave when they said they wanted the food "cooked" more.  Loved that one.  

I won't eat anything, vegetables, meat, fish  that's overcooked, dry, tasteless--just sickening to me--hurl. I've had bad dreams about eating something dry and overcooked--like I'm eating sand.   There's got to be all sorts I guess.  

[Chavster]

When filet mignon is cooked well done properly, its not dry or tasteless If its basted well and not butterflied, then it doesnt get dry or tasteless And anyway, we're talking about cooking an animal. There's no law that says how it should be done, only individual preference

I won't eat anything that's undercooked.
