Steak tips

Steak appreciation info at Nothing like a cut of well-hung beef. I prefer medium rare, and am I a currently investigating the different cuts of steak to find my favourite.

Fish

I haven't found a fishmonger (that isn't at the markets) so I settle for supermarket fish.

When buying packaged supermarket salmon check for:

  • Skin - I like the skin. If you get skinless and boneless then chances are someone had to manually remove the bones, causing bruising to the meat.

    Expiry Date - If its tomorrow, then its about to go old and isn't fresh. Pick the newest packet you can find.

Coffee

I finally got a coffee machine.

There are 2 beans on the markets. Arabica vs Robusta

In the US, you can buy americanos with room or no room. This means room to add milk (or cream) by yourself.

A breve is a coffee made with half and half. Half and half is a type of milk, 12.5% fat.
