My dinner be Mo0'ing on my plate.

How I like my steak and how I actually eat my steak now are two completely separate concepts.

I like my steak medium-rare. Anything more and the meat no longer melts.

However, by doctor's order, I'm to eat all my meat well done. It's because of the transplant; undercooked meats carry the risk of transmitting food-borne illnesses. For most people, that results in perhaps a stomachache for a couple days. For a transplant patient, I guess it becomes much worse, something in the vein of full-body sepsis and a high risk of acute rejection. That's not something I want to experience, so I've obeyed the doctor's orders.

Of course, I really don't care for overcooked steaks, so suffice I've not eaten many over the past year. There will eventually come a time when my immune system has restored itself enough that I can eat pinker cuts of beef without much fear of illness but I'm told I'm not quite there yet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
