This isn't actually that interesting a meal, but the post is historic nonetheless, from a nerd standpoint. Discounting the taking of the photo for obvious reasons, this post is 100% iPad. No intermediary tech at all.

the meal itself was from Saturday, and was really just a bunch of moderately- successful fucking around. The beef is the last of my skirt steak, because Michael Symon did skirt steak on the most recent episode of his ass-kicking, name-taking new Cooking Channel show. I did a fairly standard prep I use for flank steak - a quick garlic and balsamic marinade.

The salad is something I do sometimes if I'm bored. An ironic comedy presentation. In this case, a "microcaprese" with quartered cherry tomatoes and painstakingly minced mozzarella. I thought it was funny.

The corn was just CSA corn boiled for three minutes, but I topped it with an experimental attempt at a sage butter, where I melted some salted butter, tossed a ton of fresh sage in there, let it cook for a while, then cooled. It worked sort of OK., but the sage really crisped up.

Some of the sage butter went into the potatoes, as did a hefty amount of grated Parmesan. Unfortunately, the potatoes were weird. They were CSA new potatoes, and despite being boiled for quite a long time until soft, still kept a really strong raw potato flavor that beat up the Parmesan and took it's lunch money. I still have a few left, and will need to find a way to tame them.
