First dinner pic > General Discussion

So, my Fiance said to me today, "Hey I saw all these things called 'Dinner pics' on Arfcom. want to do one?"

Here we go-

Since we're in a small apartment, steaks were broiled:

And here's the end result!

Sides are a nice Risotto and some sauteed tomatoes. Oh, and obligatory pic of Fiance:

You let her out of the kitchen to surf the internet? That is a .5 point deduction..

Naw, I will give it 10 / 10

Risotto? With steak?

You still get a 10/10, but that don't sound right.

Good job! 8/10.

So you guys will give me crap for baking burgers but you won't give this fudd crap for baking a STEAK? What a double standard!

The risotto was our own recipe. Has a lot of garlic and parmesan. It went really well with the steak and beer.

Nice but at least invest in a Smokey Joe Weber charcoal grill to prepare that cow on. You can take a Smokey Joe anywhere including the parking lot of your apartment.
BTW hows the Abita Wheat?

I don't recall judging your dinner pic, but if I did than I add another .75 points to your score for not being bitter...

Steaks look pretty nice for being cooked with a broiler. How done did they get?

He lives in an apt and probably doesn't have a grill, and he used the broiler. That's basically an upside down grill with no fire.

Easily got them to a nice medium-rare, good seared outside. Using a nice cast iron pan helped.

Awesome, easily one of my new favorite beers.

The Alton Brown method of searing a steak is perfectly acceptable in the rules of man law.

Thats a solid 10/10, good meat, a 1911 & a nice pic of the better half cooking while armed. Can't get any better than that. Well done sir.

Armed female chef is a nice touch. Solid, solid 9/10 for first attempt.

I was going to deduct for a dirty napkin and no ammo in the Pmags but that would still give you 10/10. The armed chef was a nice touch.

LOL, that's awesome. I've shown my wife some of the more epic dinner pics and she does this

and shakes her head. I've tried explaining it to her to no avail.

I am with Zhukov on this, but you still get a 10/10. It does not suck!

A most excellent first dinner pic and a very pretty gal too!!!

That rates a definite 10/10....

Well plated but I am forced to deduct 0.25 points for improper place settings. Every well bred petty criminal knows that smaller and more concealable weapons go to the right.

This is a very strong 9/10. I deducted 1 point for your napkin being dirty.

PMAGs are in fact loaded, I just only have one windowed one.

Fiance shoots lefty, so etiquette dictates that for her, the guns go on the left. I was going to think up a good Firefly quote response, but I got nuthin.

9.75/10

- .25 for the 1911 with original grip safety (ouch!)
- .25 for the dirty napkin
+ .25 bonus for the cooking and gf cool factor

Good job

1911 with no front serrations.
ak and ar variants on the table.
a sling and a folding stock.
but most notably... she reads the arf... she's in on it AND there are two settings in the pic and not just one.
this is a perfect dinner pic.
