I'm in and out, but it's not a work day. It's actually sad, as it is day 1 of pool closing weekend. We just disassembled the gazebo and put away all the furniture. I will prepare the water and winterize the plumbing tomorrow. The cover goes on after soccer.
In deference to Bananarama, as cruel as it was, it was still a glorious summer...and now? It's over.
This thread is crazy. Hard to believe it’s already up to 50 pages. For what it’s worth, I kind of feel like we’ve reached heartbreak Hill. Watching the challenge has gone from being fun, to being an obligation. Still, it wouldn’t feel right to give up on it before there is a winner.
I feel obligated to read every page. Got to 10/21 yesterday and got busy. Now it's up to 50This thread is crazy. Hard to believe it’s already up to 50 pages.

You really should because it's hilarious at times.This is hilarious to read the play by play on this thread. I may have to check in on this sometime
Or, watch a couple of winners on utube and do what they do. Bonus, you may see “blond Sheriff”.Just reading the play-by-play here, I appreciate that my exact set of technique, at least to start (let the steak rest, break it down with the utensils like crazy, take huge bites with minimal chewing, no liquids) was attributed to who, based on said technique, was thought to be an “engineer”. Thank you for that distant compliment. Yes, it was the potato that screwed him, and I have no idea what would have made him do that, given he seemed to clearly come in with a plan that should have made made him consider the starch effect.
HERE IS HOW (I think) YOU DO THIS
-you train for speed and learn your body’s response to large amounts of food, how your stomach responds to stretching
-24 hours before, you go crazy on a bunch of starchy stuff to give one last big stretch
-eat nothing afterwards
-get that steak on the dryer side, have them cook out all the juices (Someone said earlier ITT that you want every once off your plate you can have done before you have to eat it)
-put the lettuce under the hot steak to break it down and make it less fibrous, easier to pack in
-break it way way down
-huge bites, minimal chewing
-no drinking for as long as you possibly can
-a small bite of salad intermittently for some moisture from the lettuce
-kill the steak
-finish the salad
-twist, bounce, lean frequently to pack it down as you go
-then you eat the potato and wash it down with beer as fast as you can
-you might puke, as the beer and potato settle and expand. But at least that’s how you get it in.
