I’m a carnivore, through and through. My food of choice is steak and this last weekend I had a cut of steak that was so delicious I just have to share. I’m not kidding, buy and cook this steak, you will not regret it. But don’t you dare over season or over cook. To mess up this cut is a sin.

Porterhouse steaks, cut from the rear end of the short loin, give you 2-in-1 steaks that are great for grilling: it features a well-marbled strip on one side and a lean and tender filet on the other divided by a small T-shaped bone (farther up the short loin is the T-bone steak). Feel free to swap Porterhouse with T-bone, but if you like more of the tender filet choose the Porterhouse. All you need to do is a quick seasoning of salt and pepper before grilling, but you can do a quick marinade if you like. Make sure to grill it to between medium-rare and medium.

I have recently been super into dirt biking . I would rather be trail riding in the mountains than doing anything else in the entire world. I have never had a dirt bike, but I have a really good friend in California who has two. We rode through the foothills of southern California a couple of times, and for me, it was heaven. When I made the move to Hawaii three years ago I not only had to say goodbye to my friend, I also had to say goodbye to his dirt bikes. It has been a long time since I have even touched a dirt bike so I was really REALLY happy when a friend told me he knew a guy with four bikes.


I talked to my friend, and asked him if he could talk to his neighbor about going riding sometime. He was totally down. We talked to some of our friends and they were all super stoked. They all showed up Saturday ready to ride and we were all heading out when it hit me I had other, extremely important, obligations. Long story short, I didn’t go on the ride. I was so incredibly mad.
