Not really my weekend to cook, actually it is the weekend of a team I left, the Firemasters. Thanks to "B" and Robert for the hella help. Cooked a chit load of steaks tonight without beating the holy living hell out of them. I guess that's the difference between a good steak, and an abused over cooked steak.

It's Friday Nation, make it a good one. -Matt

Decided I wanted another tattoo, "La Grá go deo" the message under the shamrock in gaelic. "With Love Forever" -Matt

Grilling up a couple of phat yard bird breastessus... -Matt

I am pretty effin' sure I ordered a Turkey sammich.... this doesn't look like a turkey sammich... I think the lady who took my order was thinking waaaay too much Arby's. You can almost see the little hat above her head. Arby's... you get an "F" for lunch today.... -Matt

The sun came out and stayed out, and with that, I am worried that we are going to have a HOT SUMMER, sans rain.... at least Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto are heating up as well.... wonder what makes that happen... to us it's Global.... but the solar system?...SOLAR system... wonder where the heat is coming from...... -Matt

Sometimes you just gotta have steak. This once was a steak of a disbanded cook team The Firemasters where steaks were wrongfully prepped by way of tenderizing hammers and way....WAAAAAY to much salt, and then way over cooked. Medium steak, well done, rare steak, medium well done... and it just goes on. I never really understood the whole philosophy of this type of steak injustice as when the head "cook" was gone, I always prepped and cooked the steak my way, with tender love and care. So today it seems fitting that we divide the roast steaks into two. I have cooked one of these bad boys whole to perfection, but top get it there, it needs to be kissed by the grill, and then finished in the oven. -Matt

Not only is it raining, now we have ourselves a flood. Cars stalling out and water over the hood. Boo Crazy Rain and Flood.... HOO-RAY Beer! -Matt

Oh what a shock... it's raining....again.....
In the kitchen with the Parrot Head cook team with a special of island grilled shrimp. Should be pretty damn tasty... if only I wasn't allergic to shellfish.
But hey, even with the rain it's still Friday Nation... just not Spain Friday where I hear EVERY day is Friday... anyhow, It's Friday Nation... make it a good one. -Matt

Every fifth Wednesday we cook calf fries and catfish for the lodge. I normally am not on this team, but being light handed, Paulie called and asked if I could lend a hand. Lots of hand battering going on.... lots and lots of hand battering. What you are seeing is but a smattering of the volume we served. -Matt

It's raining AGAIN.... -Matt
