today is butter day at the ragbag

a b-list friend of mine just returned from paris where he took a two week haute cuisine cooking course (just for yucks). among other tricks that he taught me is a french technique for cooking steak—in a pan while constantly spooning melted butter over it. this is known in the trade as nourishing. thus, to nourish something is to bathe it in butter so as to increase succulence.

now if you’ll excuse me, i am off to nourish my bacon.
