Ok, I'll get my saw and knife and go get you a nice one off the loin I got hangin' in the shed.

Will you be sweet and melt me up about a 1/2 pound of butter, I'll cut several, since I have both loins hangin' in the shed. Slim You did get rid of that hide from that steer ya butchered didn't you.

Don't ferget the melted butter, if there ain't enough in the icebox, have Slim go to the cellar and get some. I got a bunch the other day when I traded the chuck off the steer to the hmesteaders down the river.

"Yep I got rid of it."

<Slim, don't ferget ta put yer boots in yer soogun at night. If ya don't the yodel dogs might come inta camp and eat them after the fire dies.

Ya ain't even close and this one I've come to believe really makes sense. But ya got to understand cowboys to figger it out. I've been askin' some of them latley and some have been tolt this by dad and grandpa as to the reason.

Try www.cowhand.com, oops, sorry thats nuthin' but a Dan Roberts song makin' fun of modern things.

Did ya know a 3.5 inch floppy comes from a small cow.

"I'm always sweet!" And yes, the smile she flashes to Delmonico is sweet and unfeigned. The Frumpy Fairy Godmother glides to the kitchen and starts on the butter.

Do the boot tips point toward the livestock or away from them? Or don't it matter?

Roger L. Welsch wrote an article in 1987 titled "Boots on Fence Posts" but I can't get to read the whole thing without payin' $. He is/was a professor of English and anthropology at the University of Nebraska.

I know Roger slightly. don't know if his theroy is the same. Tain't got nuthin' ta do with livestock.

Only the one on the Stadium and the ones on the helmets.

They ain't got a lot of humor when one a their Prof's makes fun of them.

"Has that Doctor's note expired yet? I am about ready to call for AnnieLee to come in with her skillet."

Delmonico · January 28, 2005, 03:46:06 PM

Sorry got another week left on the note.

Mean while back at the ranch, Delmonico has a large castirion grill, complete with gridirons set up on the top of the stove. He puts a bunch of corncobs in the stove, when the cobs are burnt down and the grill hot he sears a bunch of porterhouse steaks on both sides.

After they are seared the gtill has cooled somewhat and he gets out a pastry brush and bastes them well with butter on the up side.

As they are cooking he sprinkles them with some fresh ground black pepper.

"He mutters to himself, I hope I can get these done a fore Gopher Grease gets here, he'll want to eat his afore it's fully cooked."

Joyce (AnnieLee) · January 28, 2005, 07:27:11 PM

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother leaps forward.

"Quick, turn mine and Gopher Grease's steaks over and do the other side. I like them still twitching!"

She gives the steaks a worried looking, hoping that she caught them in time.

Trinity · January 28, 2005, 07:28:20 PM

Just then Trinity steps into the kitchen with ketchup smeared all around his mouth and the back of his hand. "Whatcha got Delmonico? Ah'm still hongry. ... Mmmmmm, mm! Ah loves some steak!!!! Ah lahk ma steak still red inside, but warm! Please don't overdo it, she only needs a little bit more.

HEY GOPHERGREASE!!! COME IN HERE, THERES STEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

gophergrease · January 28, 2005, 07:40:46 PM

Slap mine on the plate as long as its not MOOOing it done.

Uncle Eph · January 28, 2005, 07:49:14 PM

knock it's horns off, wipe it's butt and send it to the dining room.

gophergrease · January 28, 2005, 07:51:18 PM

Del thinks he gota always have good meat burnt till ya cant tell what it was ta start.

Delmonico · January 28, 2005, 07:55:30 PM

We're being Heeestorically correct here, thats what the butter is for, to keep it tender while it cooks "SLOW". Old time cowboys did not eat rare beef, grilled steaks were basted in butter and cooked medium.

Trinity · January 28, 2005, 08:16:49 PM

"Ah ain' no historically keeerect cowpoke, Delmonico. Ahm a movie cowboy with a fake accent. Medium rare steak closer to rare, please."

Uncle Eph · January 28, 2005, 08:42:24 PM

when I was a kid my Mom was the chef at the local country club and then later she owned several nice eaterys but when she cooked for us at home she cooked the way Dad liked things; brown almost done and black ready to eat. The juice from the meat was used for gravy, Dad came a long line of goatropers.
