A 25yr old learning how to cook...
Finally satisfied my Ribeye craving, but it wasn't easy!

Went on a little vacation this weekend to PA, skiing at Eagle Rock resort.
Went to a supposed to be half-way decent restaurant (Top of the 80's was the name), ordered a ribeye medium-rare due to a SERIOUS craving I have been having for one for weeks...and getting it well, no pink, and dark....first time I ever sent food back. Since Laurie was done her meal by the time I sent it back I just told the waitress I'd pick off hers as I was already miffed....the rest of the meal was great though, and Lauries suft and turf was good.
Not to be defeated dad came through and dropped off some ribeyes to the residence when I returned home.
Ribeye cooked perfect (medium rare, even color inside, perfect crust and sear outside)
A kind of Gratin concoction that I made from some left over potatoes (not sure on the types i used, but whatever decided it wanted to start growing roots in my fridge got the ax. Put some heavy creme in a pot and the sliced taters and cooked for a few minutes, then put it in a baking dish, poured another cup of heavy cream and some butter milk (hey it was left over too) and then grated about a cup and a half to 2 cups of Gruyer cheese over it and baked for good 25 min.
