The new cast iron griddle arrived broken. GE overnighted a new one double boxed with bubble wrap and stamped GLASS FRAGILE. I seasoned it yesterday and took it for a test drive today with some steak. The New York Times called the potatoes Mock Frites but the last time I made them from a different recipe, they were called Smashed Potatoes. What was different was a compound butter with these. Either way they were good. At a restaurant a couple years ago, Cassie ordered a Bourbon Steak. The first thing that came to mind was heresy but she gave me a bite and it was good. I made the recipe at home a month or so later and decided to do it again today. The steak was marinated in bourbon, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. The green beans were left overs.
