I like Alton Brown.

One of the best things I’ve ever cooked was Alton Brown’s recipe for Steak au Poivre. Incredibe

Good Eats is definitely a comfort show of mine.

@Matt Alton Brown is a national treasure.

Yeah I used to use a riff on Brown's cast iron steak recipe that impersonates a salamander by having you get the cast iron really hot in a 500F oven and then using the broiler so that you have top and bottom heat. It is a very fast method to get a good crust, though these days I just do cast iron outside on the gas grill usually.

Based on the popularity of caesar salads, I think most people like anchovy flavor if it is at least melded in and balanced in a way that isn't too fishy for them. Anchovy paste is an underrated ingredient that can add value in unexpected places.

Me? Ooh baby I like it raw, but I didn't always and I understand when folks don't. But when there's an option to supplement a salad with them I take it, and I do enjoy things like boquerones & vermouth meal.

@mclaincausey Caesar salad should be bold! Like most Mexican food.

December is the worst month. January is just flat but December is positively annoying.

I’ve been increasingly thinking this over recent years and I’m now ready to say it out loud!

[goosehd]

@ARNC you’re not wrong…I try to be happy and cheerful during this time, but the long nights, overcast days, and f’n cold wear me down.

@ARNC @goosehd I absolutely cannot understand how you don't like December when every day you get to hear Wham - Last Christmas being played!!!

[Matt]

I feel totally opposite to this. I loathe summer.

[ARNC]

@Steve as December annoyances go, Last Christmas is entry level!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC that definitely belongs on here. Worst song ever

[Matt]

And yeah, here’s a real UO… I love kitschy 80s Xmas music. Last Xmas is not offensive to me at all and Wonderful Christmastime is my favorite Xmas song period. It always has been. I love Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses as well.

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses

@Steve Released 41 years ago this very day!

[Matt]

I would say December and October are my two favorite months.

[Matt]

Although I would prefer colder Octobers.

I think you are thinking of Christmas unwrapping

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago I can think of worse!
