Did you do anything interesting on Christmas Day?

[Squishman]

I did! I took advantage of the balmy winter weather in Minnesota and rotated my tires. Front to back, back to front. If I had my druthers like with a hoist, I'd cross back to front, front straight back. But this'll do! Lifted one side at a time with a floor jack and a 12 volt scissor jack. Torqued lugs to spec afterwards.

We celebrated family Christmas 2 weekends ago. Today, it is watching some football on his/hers TVs, Netflix movies, or other App movies or Series. It is 38 degrees right now, where we live in WI.

I hear you with tire rotation. I take mine to Discount Tire, with a hoist. Freebee. Perhaps their air guns, apply the right amount of torque? Over the years, I never asked. 80-100 lbs

Time to heat up some turkey breast with gravy, and heat up the cheesy potatoes. Wife made yesterday.

Screwed up the brisket, slightly. It's the last time I do a brisket in the oven.

I've had success using a Dutch oven.

Speaking of cooking... I am making a beautiful rib eye for dinner and the Vikings game. It is 2.5" thick. Just amazing. Plus amazing marbling. This would for sure be a $100 steak at Manny's. I sear it in a super hot 8" cast iron pan, all 6 sides. And then I place said pan directly into a pre-heated toaster oven at 400 degrees, watching the temp with my bluetooth Meater probe. I will flip it in a minute or two. Anyway, it always turns out primo! Question though: Do you guys sear a side that has all fat on it. I do. But wondering what you guys do.

I should say I do sometimes. I did today with this amazing steak.

Nothing but a nice wet lazy day here. Watching the Chiefs/Broncos but started to snooze during halftime

These days with a good steak I'll sous vide it then sear it on the grill outside if it's dry, or in a nice heavy skillet on the stove. I'll sear all surfaces, fat or no but I'll do the fat side first to help the pan out a bit

ps What cut of steak is it? These days $100 at the store can easily be achieved Is Manny's the killer local steakhouse?
