Dear bison... June 2005.

To make a good steak:

Don't cook it on one side the flips it and cook it on the other side. Flip it as often as possible. If you only flip it once then the juice rise to the top then you flip it and they all fall off. If you flip it often then the juices can't escape and you will have a very juicy steak.

Dear Bishop,

"Hey, is there any difference between when I'm high and when I'm not?"

Honest to god, asking people things is not hard.

How do you make a really good steak like the kind they sell at restaurants? Mine never taste all that good. I cook them on my oven's broiler. Should I flavor them with something? I like rib eye and new york strip but am usually disappointed with the way they turn out. Just not that much flavor. I think I'm a failure or something...

First and foremost, buy good quality meat.

When cooking, make sure you cook it at high enough temperature to sear the edges of the meat. This will hold the juices inside of the meat. Also, don't overcook. Take the steaks out a little before they are cooked to your liking, as they will continute to cook themselves for several minutes.

Don't use any utensils that will "poke" the meat while turning it over. Use tongs.

Dear Bison,

I've never cooked a meal before in my life, but i decided to cook a meal for my girlfriend this weekend. I'd like something challenging, chineesey and impressive. Suggestions please sir?

Thanks.

[bishopstrt]

thank you for the steak advice and I certainly hope this is the answer to my problem. Maybe I have been over-cooking them a little. Also, I never knew about the multiple flip thing that Mason mentioned or the tongs so I'm definitely going to try that.

Bison, I guess I could attempt to engage in a discussion with the person in my bed but I'll have you know that for some of us that is a very awkward and embarrassing moment and you make it sound like it is so easy. One reason I am getting high in the first place is because I'm not very skilled socially if you know what I mean. However, since you think it is so obvious I will give this conversing thing a try.

Dear 18G,

Most chinesey food is not challenging. Make a stir-fry. Buy some bell peppers that are bright and nice colors - orange, red. they'll show well show nice against white rice.

because the experience of being really drunk interferes with actually being fully present with people you know. And I like my friends, so if I'm feeling the need to get hammered, what the hell is going on?

Bison this post is great and I wish more people would think this way.

dear bison
it seems like every session I play, there's at least 2~3 times I do something, then go "why did I do that"
because I know better.

Why do I do that?

My girlfriend is presently far away in a different country. I find myself staying home at night, because I know if I go out to one of my usual bars I will end up cheating on her.

Am I a good person for staying home or a bad person for knowing I would cheat on someone I love?

Thankyou
