Steak at Home

Man, I have totally neglected this blog.  I tried to get back into it a while ago, but I fell off the wagon and thought it was sort of mendokusai to keep blogging.  I was sort of bored of it, and there was also the issue of taking too many pictures and not having the time to organize them and upload them. I think I was also getting more concerned with ranking on Urban Spoon than just writing.  From now on, I'll try to stick with why I started this blog:  to take shiny pictures of food I eat and maybe write a bit about it.

My buddy Eric comes into town once or twice a year, and he always buys too much food for his short stays.  Instead of letting the food go to waste, haha, sometimes I pick up his scraps.  This is a dinner I slapped together based on 100 Eric leftovers:  Steak, mini potatos, asparagus and garlic prawns from M&M Meat Shop:

I don't know why, but this particular steak wasn't very red and came out almost looking like pork in these pictures, but I assure you that it once mooed.  Despite the color, it came out pretty damned tasty.

The prawns and asparagus.

I was going to par-boil the potatos and pan fry them a bit, but had a craving for garlic mashed potatoes so I ended up doing that instead.....as if there wasn't enough garlic in the prawns and the pan fried asparagus. 

These pictures were taken with a Nikon P100.  I think I ended up trading it in for a P500 shortly after because the P100 really, really sucked.  I'm currently using the P500 and the Olympus EPL-2 that Eric gave me.

I think I gave up and ended up using the flash to get a better shot.
