The Navy is at Steak

Last night I was invited to the Navy League monthly steak dinner at the El Centro Nav Fac base. This is a Navy air base a few miles east of the museum. It is the winter home of the Navy's Blue Angels. Met the Master Chief who oversees all maintenance of the flightline of F-18s.

I took a picture of the steak. I should have included a person in the photo for scale. I think that every meal I have had here so far has been wrapped in a tortilla. So steak was welcomed.

This was about as big a steak as I have ever had. I had it removed from the grill less than medium rare, cut it, and gave it a bath of A1. There were only three of us at our table so I went all BDH on the potato with about half of the sour cream in the bowl.


They gave out a bunch of awards and there was a speaker, but I was really into the steak. Eating nothing but beans, I have lost five pounds in three weeks. But not tonight.

Killin' me with the A-1. You gave a good steak a bath of the sauce you need in order to stomach the stuff they serve at York?

I thought Bryan would get all like, "thats not me anymore," which is exactly why I thought it was funny. But then I was not even sure if anyone would pick up the reference. You make me very happy!

The steak was actually fantastic. I think the government procures them at $600 a piece. I also think I am going to join the Navy League.

I've seen BDH slather up a potato, too. I just figured that I'd leave him alone since I might want him to buy something from me again.
