Surprisingly, Ikea was very tame.

The trick to Ikea, I found, was to arrive as soon as it opens, know exactly what you want, and get the fuck out of there by 11.

I had some uncooked steak for lunch the other day and it was delish. It was like a steak ceviche--raw, but "cooked" by a citrus marinade. Seems weird that this was at Catch, a seafood place.

I hope it gave me worms that will help me lose weight....

Ikea opened at 10 and we got there at 11 and farted around until 2 and it never got that crazy. The 2 meals we ate there we were strangely fortunate in that there was no line for the cafe, but by the time we paid and sat down a line 20-deep had formed.

I would like to try that!

xpost, I mean steak ceviche.

I was a little upset that I was too stuffed from Tweet's to eat anything at Ikea, even a 50 cent hot dog.

(xp) Was it different from steak tartare?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I think steak tartare is completely uncooked meat. This was a Thai sort of dish, I think.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Steak tartare is a meat dish made from finely chopped, or ground raw beef. It is often served with onions, capers and seasonings (the latter typically incorporating fresh ground pepper and Worcestershire sauce), and sometimes with a raw egg.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

The Mexican version of steak tartare typically marinates the meat in lime juice, in the manner of ceviche, which has the effect of disinfecting the meat to a certain extent.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmm. I'm not up on my tartares.

That's just crying out to be mixed together and made into a meatloaf.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think I would like steak tartare. In fact I think I would hate it.

After some intense Googling, I will direct your attention to this fascinating account of the potential consequences of enjoying a nice beef tartare: http://fray.com/drugs/worm/01.html

Have you guys seen Yacht Rock? It is great and I think you would all love it.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

You're kidding, right?

It's illustrated? That's not the editorial decision I would have made.

Ha ha:

'"Monsieur," he finally said, "ce n'est pas grave. Je pense que vous avez un ver solitaire."

I had un ver solitaire? What was that? A solitary worm? A lonely worm.'

You're kidding, right?

Oh hush. It's like when Adamrl started a thread about this weird e-mail from Nigeria he got.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

You're kidding, right?

Is it old news?

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't recommend putting a yogurt granola bar in the fridge.

That uncooked meat looks cold and slimy.

― Calico (calico), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay sorry, one of my friends just told me about it the other day.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse, I have read that tapeworm account before, I think it was MeFi'ed many years ago? But I enjoyed it all over again!

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Yacht Rock was all over FRM long ago.

You mean ILX.

But yeah, it's great.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost-The internet isn't delivered to Madison on a regular basis.

I think I got that horror on mefi, yes.

No, I know you mean FRM, but no one reads FRM.

I'm drinking tea. I want caffeine, but have no Diet Coke and I don't have the patience to make Vietnamese or Turkish coffee, and I have no drip coffee maker, so I'm drinking tea. As usual, it's completely disappointing.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, tea is one suck-ass beverage.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

But Diet Coke isn't disappointing? Diffrent strokes, I guess.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think I've ever read MetaFilter. But back in 2000 I was all about Plastic.com.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Tea is way better than Diet Coke, wtf.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I have seen this movie about Jim Jones. I would like to see that documentary.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I live each moment for the next Diet Coke. Diet Coke is my morning beverage. It's very portable and always satisfies. I love coffee, but it has some drawbacks.

Tea could suck a fuck, but for its caffeine. Except iced tea, which is OK. And sometimes chamomile and peppermint "tea," but also iced.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm having coffee issues at home. I have a big old coffee maker with a carafe, but it's really touchy for some reason. The coffee comes out either way too weak or way too strong, and I never had issues with my old coffee maker.

Then I've got this little "cup at a time" coffee maker, it's got a permanent filter and you actually put your mug under the drip. The coffee is fine but it's messy and, well, it only makes a cup at a time.

― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Aspartame is nasty and has a heavy, metallic aftertaste.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm about to go make myself a cup of throat coat tea. i like the licorice root/bitter fennel fruit aspect of it.

i have no coffee today. i don't feel right.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse u mad. Hot tea > iced tea. Black tea > herbal tea. Also, I don't do caffeine.

Diet Coke tastes like emptiness.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't HATE tea, but it always leaves me wishing it were better.

Diet Coke in a can, on the point of freezing is like drinking from the teat of a goddess.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck a coffee, I just light up big bluntz in the morning.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Tea is what I drink when I have no time to make coffee. It is good, and I like tea, but it just reminds me that I would rather have coffee.

Speaking of, I'm off to get some coffee. Coffee coffee coffee.
