    I forget that this is a BBQ forum, so making up for all those football and roundabout posts,  here's last night's dinner;






    Impeccable timing at the butcher counter meant I struck gold with the purchase.
    I employed my preferred reverse sear technique, up to 50 C IT via the Meater and then inferno finish - hence the 'artistic' shot of flames.  
    Only SPG and sea salt flakes,  ten minutes rest.  I reckon it came out medium, with a nod towards Pittsburgh style.  Or is it Chicago because of the reverse sear?

    No idea what the £ / KG in to $ / lb ratio is but it was cracking value.
    That looks amazing and at $5.88/lb it is a killer deal!

    I will add just kidding, as someone will likely take that seriously

    Stirring the pot, right there. 

    We should have an OT thread about the best format for date.

    Day/Month/Year makes the most sense.  Month/Day/Year makes the least sense.

    Please walk us through your rationale. 

    If you’re describing an upcoming concert to your friend, verbally, what will you say? “I’ve got tickets to the Michael Bolton concert on…….”

    Smallest time increment to largest.  Usually I just need day, sometimes month, and year generally only needed for legal type docs.

    what day
    what month 
    what year

    I would settle for largest to smallest too, but tossing day in between month and year is chaos.

    In a different life I worked for a multinational clinical research biz.  Arbitrary dates in documentation meant trouble with government regulatory agencies.  This was the standardized format . . . 11-Dec-2024
    30+ years later it's still engrained in my brain and is how I sign documents.

  • I am chefing the daylights out of some onions.


    But which day’s lights?

    11/12/24
    12/11/24
    24/12/11

    (I have a preference for 12/11/2, because that’s what we generally say when speaking - December 11th, 2024.)

    Onions looking good. That’s quite a batch.

    Passing on the date deal here @CPFC1905 that is a great cook and outcome.  Photo 3 for the hook and the remainder for the feeder.  Dang!

    Having to sign documents in two countries for most of my adult life, I usually sign the month in letters/words, to mitigate confusion. Good practice, IMO.

    Same here, military protocol, for documents.
    However, I took a different route for computer files.  My first office machine was a Zenith Z-100, monochrome display ("crayon" resolution) and a single 5-1/4" floppy disk drive (my la-dee-dah boss got the machine with two disk drives).  I used a separate floppy disk for each of the 7 programs I was assigned to (electronic warfare/ jammers) and labeled each file with "YR-MO-DY-XX" (no dashes and the XX was a two letter designation I assigned to different files: document, spreadsheet, database, etc.  Two reasons: the first MS-DOS OSs limited us to 8-digit filesnames, and my files were automatically sorted chronologically.  To this day I still use this system ("2023 Income Tax MN property", "202403 Household Expenses", etc).

    6 lbs of onions into a few quarts of soup.  Induction burner sure made it easy.



    The Jumada II 11, 1446 AH daylights are gone.

    @CPFC1905 - Very fine looking cook, great results.
    Being unfamiliar with Waitrose I looked them up.  Pigs in Blankets caught my eye as you Brits appear to have a superior method for them.  Over here they are sausage wrapped in a pancake, bacon blanket has to be better.
