Just stuff

Went to Mokena this morning and played 18 holes of frisbee golf. This was the first time I ever really played a real course this year. I was never really good at frisbee golf. But I just love seeing the trajectory of the disc as it flies through the air. It is always a beauty when you throw it just right. I was surprised how much progress my dad has made from a year ago, even my mom was throwing pretty well (at least she can keep the disc level and get about 60 to 70 feet in distance).

Then we headed to Costco in Orland Park to get grocery and stuff. We had lunch there. Ha... yup... $1.50 polish sausage + pop. My mom had a slice pizza which she thought it was pretty bad. Oh well the lunch was cheap, though.

Got back home b4 2:30 and I went to church to help out with blood pressure and blood sugar testings. I was in charge of doing the blood sugar. First time ever to use the machine and to draw blood from ppl. I did 6 people altogether. Will do that again tomorrow morning.

And I made dinner tonight.. well sort of. I cooked 2 steaks. My dad cooked the vegetables. Dad was complaining that the steak was too raw and he ruined it totally by "dinging" it in the microwave! What a shame to a good piece of steak. And he kept saying how good it was after it was nuked in the microwave.

On a side note, I still have Pedro the tree frog. My boss hasn't taken it home yet. He jokingly asked me that if I wanted to keep him as a pet in the office... hmmmmm

i changed the cooking of steak in an american way(or western way)...i learned it while living in america. the style is different than in HKG. your dad has local taste originate from HKG. again, some ppl like raw (real taste) steak and some don't. i usually prefer medium-rare, for steak and bison as well. but it's been cooked like 'medium', or 'well done' ... i don't like the texture and taste of the steak anymore. he may adapt to your cooking later... may be try a different cut of steak, from a different store, or serve with a different steak sauce ... you know... i recommended my sister to go to "Ruth Chris steak house" in hkg before... and she told me about her experience

I like steaks cook to medium-rare, tender, and juicy. Most U.S. restaurants either don't have enough juice in their steaks, or not tender enough after they are cooked (often they were dry inside as well).

are u keeping Pedro ?

Bison meat has more 'juice' and tenderer than beef steak. Have u been to "Ted's Montana Grill" ? I went to the one in Sterling (near Home Depot/China King) and another in Ballston (Wilson and Glebe intersection). Prime rib is good tender meat choice!

Pedro is still in my office. I don't know what he did... For several days already that he would get almost all the water in the bowl out. Dunno how and why he did it. now the whole tank is flooded. I don't know if I am keeping Pedro. I guess Emma will want it back when she comes back from Grandma's.

Really Bison meat more tender? I would think that Bison meat has less fat. But I don't know that it is more tender.
