CARRARA 640 WAGYU

 

It seems there is a flood of Wagyu products flooding butcher shops and big discount houses. There are many choices and price points. Today steak is from Australia called Carrara 640 Wagyu. The price was 40/pound for boneless rib-eye. This is on the lower end of price for the current Wagyu's on the market. This company also advertises this beef is grain finished. That is a bonus in my world.

The butcher suggested cooking on a high charcoal heat at 4 minutes a side. I did and let it rest for 5 minutes. It was a perfect medium rare cook. The beef was ultra tender and had the big beefy flavor which I crave. I would purchase this again. Ms. Goofy has some other Wagyu products for me to try.......Stay tuned.

MAPLE BACON JAM

 

I picked up this Maple Bacon Jam on my recent trip to Virginia. It was sold in the gift shop at the Civil War Museum. This is my kind of souvenir. It actually tastes very good. It is sweet, mapley, smoky and fills the bill in the sweet department. I like it but question if there is any bacon here. I am afraid to read the ingredient list. 

MORE CHEESE PLEASE

 

According to Ms. Goofy there is never enough cheese. She would of been happy at the Buon Tempo Italian Club. They do not scimp on the cheese. There is a slight problem of her participating in this cheese laden lasagne; this was a stag dinner night and women were not allowed. There was also a cheesy bread to add on to this cheese pile.

Do not worry, Ms. Goofy can go to the co-ed dinner later this month and get her fill of cheese.

CINCO COOK-OFF

Today we are at a really fun bbq contest with a twist; fajitas. This “Cinco Cook-off” was held at Super La Favorita Meat Market #3 in Dixon California. How can you not like a contest held at a meat market. Ribs were included in this spicy fun extravaganza.!!!!!!!!
