I had a pork chop at Outback that came to me bleeding once. When I complained, the management said, "oh, it'll be okay," and then asked if I'd like a gift cert to come back. I said, "why would I want to come back again if I can't get the thing cooked right the first time?" I shouldn't have been there in the first place, so I have myself to blame. Nope, only beef and other meats grown organically and humanely--like the good Coleman stuff--for this kid, and prepared properly.

To be fair, Outback cranks out a decent prime rib, and that to me is a real meal. Chain restaurants are not my end-all and be-all but I can endure them. As for that pot of beans, my wife makes such all the time. We're have split-peas with ham hocks tonight. She is a Yankee (LP Michigan) but was raised on a farm, so she DOES know how to cook this stuff up as it should be cooked. (Almost all vegetables should be blanched for the best flavor. Artichokes you need to cook a bit more, while beans, in general, should be cooked to death with vinegar and ham.) Artichokes have dried up here in recent weeks but they'll be back soon. And an artichoke and a ribeye is good eating by anyone's standards. And, while I do not like to cook, I do make a killer fried chicken -- the trick is in the paprika. Use Hungarian if you can get it.
