A New Year’s Feast: Beef Tenderloin Stuffed with Lobster

For New Year’s Eve Katie and I indulged in a beef tenderloin filet stuffed with lobster, then cooked in wine, garlic and butter! This was the night I learned that tenderloin wasn’t just a chunk of beef— it’s the most tender cut of beef! My friend (and chef) David cut a whole beef tenderloin into a filet mignon and then rolled it around lobster tail. It was unbelievably delicious. Have a look at the pics!

Everybody was suitably impressed — they should have been, because of the cost alone. But it’s flavor makes it worth every penny.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

This Week’s Sign That the Apocalypse is Upon Us… Black Friday edition!

A Wal-Mart worker died after being trampled when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island store Friday morning, police and witnesses said.

The 34-year-old worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m. Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down. He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him.

What a tragedy. Discovered via Reddit.

Black Friday/Boxing Day sales should be held online these days. Beyond that, require a line to be formed and hand out vouchers for people to fill out. First come, first served until there is nothing left.

The Burlington/Glasgow connection…

Here’s a neat blog — juxtaposes Burlington, Ontario with Glasgow, Scotland in an ongoing series of blog posts with pictures:

Canadian Jen posts a picture, then Scottish Carol posts a picture of the same thing (only Scottish). Then Carol posts a pic of something else, then Jen posts a pic of the same thing (only Canadian). And one day, with luck, we’ll have a photo blog that compares Burlington, Ontario, Canada with Glasgow, Scotland in some interesting way.
