The Strahota sizzler
Friend Jeff ended up on local news this week. Defying expectations, he was not in handcuffs, a massive fire or red, yellow and black facepaint.
If you've ever had Strahota grilling, you know to expect the best. Jeff doesn't disappoint, and Wendy and Jim practically invite him to dinner.
This post also marks the start of the "Friend Jeff" tag. Injuries abound!

So, how the hell did Jeff get involved in this? And how did he manage to avoid injuring himself while around open flame?

Somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody who loved to grill (who was Jeff), if I'm remembering correctly. And while Jeff's been injured by ice and air (falling through it, at least), he's never been hurt by water (where he spends most of his time) or fire. He may be by here to offer comment at some point! He already has a dozen people in a related Facebook discussion.

You got that right, Mr. Cooper.
I will hold comment on open fire injury, as not to jinx myself. I have lost many a finger beard and hand hair to lighting grills in my time and prefer to have the losses stop there before my epidermis gets involved.

This made my day. Enough said.

We live to serve! And use words like "epidermis" from time to time.

I grew up in Cow Country. Use the Poke Test to check for done-ness of your steaks:

I've been using this for years and with the exception of ribeyes (which have two 'grains' of meat and are harder to judge), this test really works well.

I'm not so sure I could handle that. That sounds like the work of people who throw spaghetti at walls and think automatic timers for fruit and vegetable freshness (The Freshenator, registered trademark Patrick Cooper and Robot and Sons, 2043) are a bad idea.
