I could go for a good steak right about now.

I had lunch at a local "family restaurant" today. THe place was called "Tomato & Onion", and I had the privilege of having a 7 ounce steak, Aussie beef, for about 15 bucks.

On the upside, it was RARE. A couple of my students (adults) who had recently traveled to Las Vegas were very surprised and somewhat annoyed that they couldn't get a truly rare steak in the States. After all, this is the country where raw fish is ubiquitous, and raw chicken is not unheard of.
