Meat Friday January 27, 2006
Sunday, January 29th, 2006Well here I am. I was told by a certain someone that I do not post to the Meat Friday web site. So…I thought it was extremely important for me to add my first official post to the Meat Friday web site.
First of all, I wanted to comment about this wonderful event known as Meat Friday. A group of friends can get together for no reason at all. They could go to a bar, they could hang out at the beach, they could sit down and watch some reruns of Sanford and Son. Now you see, those types of get togethers will be good times but can you truly say they are unique get-togethers? I don’t think so. This is one of the many reasons why Meat Friday has come about. A group of friends, standing around a hot grill, drinking many beers, discussing the events of the week as we see them. Mix it all together into a great big mixing bowl and you have “good times.”
Menu:
- 5 - 6 lbs. of London Broil
- Hamburgers
- Chicken Tenders
- Lionshead (some of Wilkes-Barre’s finest) and Michelob Ultra
The London Broil was absolutely delicious. With the fine cooking skills of Will and the right marinade/spices, the steak tasted like heaven. The toughest part to grilling a London Broil is the timing. You can’t keep it on too long or you are going to burn the surface of the meat. Taking the steak off the grill too soon and you have a piece of uncooked flesh. Will’s mastery of the grill gave us some of the finest pieces of London Broil ever. Props to Mr. Austin. To wet our appetites, we had hamburgers set aside as appetizers. Some of our friends went to the lighter side of meat by preparing some chicken tenders. I did not have any but I heard they were surprisingly good. There will be no frozen chicken ever again. Hamburgers…freeze away. Chicken…we need fresh.
Most of the time, we follow up our dinner with a trip to a bar. This Friday, we decided it was best to just stay in. I was impressed by the amount in attendance. I would have to say, it was an extremely successful Meat Friday. Oh yeah…we broke out the dice for a little 3-Man. Can you say re-living college?
So…can we make the next Meat Friday even more successful? I think so. Until next week.
I got nothin else…Joel
