I sinned yesterday. Massively. |

Anyone who's read my ORDER IT RARE, KURADO thread will understand this.
So, the cafe I kinda work at had a pretty good spot yesterday selling food at a stand in some nearby forest to kids on a spiritual retreat. Sounded like a load of shit to me, but whatever as long as I make money.
I was in charge of coffee and the carne asada (grilled flank steak). Fifty steaks in the afternoon, another fifty that night. By my hands I desecrated the meat... I put that beautiful red flesh on the grill and watched it go from a beautiful rare, to medium rare, to medium AND THEN TO WELL DONE. Apparently that's how your average Guatemalan likes it and it was a cruel twist of fate that I'd have to do this to the meat myself.
By the end of my ordeal I was in partial shock. But I had prepared and saved a steak for myself. I cooked that fucker 20 seconds one side, flipped it for another 20, and onto my plate. It was so dark at that point I could barely see what I was doing but then I dragged that fucker to a corner, like when a leopard drags a carcass up a tree so other animals won't take its meal, and ate it like a BEAST. Rawest thing I ever ate, delicious, but because of the food standards in this country I might have to be more careful in the future.
During this frenzy I noticed some of the kids at a nearby table were singing Christian songs and having a good time. It made me feel good knowing not everything at that place was fake.
