The Perfect Steak



Ingredients:

1. 1.5-2" Prime cut steak
2. Thyne
3. Kosher salt / black pepper
4. Garlic
5. Olive oil
6. Butter

Cooking directions:

1. Leave the steak out at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Cold steak will seize and will make it tough and not cook evenly.

2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

3. Sear the steak on a large pan. Get the pan HOT before putting in the steak.
    a. dry pat the steak with a kitchen towel and add salt/pepper
    b. olive oil in
    c. steak in
    d. butter / crushed garlic / thyne in
    e. cook each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown crust appears, while using a spoon to pour the juices to the top of the steak
    f. don't forget to flip the steak to it's side and cook the side for about 1 minute

4. Put it inside the oven and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Flip after 5th minute. Monitor the temperature using a thermometer.

Temperatures

Rare = 120 degrees
Medium Rare = 130 degrees
Medium = 140 degrees

Once the temperature has been reached, let it rest on top of a cooking board for 10 minutes to let the steak re-absorb all the juices.

Bon Apetite!

Song of the Day: 노을 청혼



기다리란 말만 하면서
외면했죠 오랜 시간
조금 기다리면
그때가 올 거라고 someday
그대 원하는
그 말을 다 알면서
얼마나 오래
기다린 줄 알면서
이제야 말하네요
You don't have to cry
울지 말아요
고갤 들어봐요
이젠 웃어봐요
I will make you smile
행복만 줄게요
언제나 그대 곁에서 영원히
Don't be afraid
모두 잘 될 거예요


고마워요 이런 날 믿고
기다려준 그대
My love
미안하단 말보단
먼저 하고픈 말 있죠
그대에게만
전해주고 싶던 말
하지만 결국
하지 못했던 그 말
나와 결혼해줘요
You don't have to cry
울지 말아요
(울지 말아요)
고갤 들어봐요
이젠 웃어봐요
I will make you smile
행복만 줄게요
언제나 그대 곁에서 영원히
Don't be afraid
모두 잘 될 거예요
기다림 속에 흘린
그대 눈물을 알기에
이젠 돌려줄 거예요
그대 사랑을
You don't have to cry
울지 말아요
고갤 들어봐요
이젠 웃어봐요
I will make you smile
행복만 줄게요
언제나 그대 곁에서
영원히
Don't be afraid
모두 잘 될 거예요

Song of the Day: 한기란 - 없구나



오늘도 다를것 없는 늘 같은 아침 햇살에
난 잠에서 깨어
언제나 처럼 뒤척이다가 일어나
그대로 멍하니 서있다
거울을 보다가 한참 바라보다가
그러다 문득 생각나는일
여긴 니가 없구나 우리 헤어졌구나
이제 너는 없구나

아직 까지 믿지 못해서
여태까지 잊지못해서
혹시라도 이게다 꿈이라서
아직꿈속인지도 모르니까
니가 없다는걸 믿게 될까봐
그럼너를 잊게 될까봐
그럼내가 살수가 없을 것 같아 그래

거리를 걷다가 한참 걸어가다가
그러다 문득 생각나는일
곁엔 니가없구나 우리헤어졌구나
이제 볼수없구나

아직까지 믿지 못해서
여태까지 잊지못해서
혹시 너도 너무 힘이 들어서
다시 돌아올지도 모르니까
니가 없다는걸 믿게될까봐
그럼너를 잊게 될까봐
그럼 더견딜수가 없을 것 같아

니가 없는 세상은 한번도
상상해 본적이 없는걸
너는 아는지
울고불고 때쓰면
다시 돌아올런지 아니면 니꿈에서
깨어날수 있을지

여긴 니가없구나
그래 너는 없구나
니안엔 내가 없구나
음 너는 없구나

나의 처음과 마지막

처음 예기 나눈 기역
처음 같이 커피 마신 날
처음 같이 봤던 영화
그녀와 같이 했던 처음들이 생각난다.

너를 처음 만난 추억
처음 여행간 추억
노리 공원 가고 만든 추억
너와 같이 있던 추억들이 이저지지 않는다

술 마시고 기분 좋왔던 시간
할게 없어서 서로 마줘봣던 시간
사랑했던 시간
참 빨리 지나가던 시간들

전화하다 잠든 너의 숨소리
너의 웃는 소리
너의 에교 소리
너의 목소리가 아직 들린다

마지막으로 같이 보낸 시간
마지막으로 전화한 시간
마지막으로 해어진 그날
그녀가 그리워진다

시간을 돌릴수 있다면
얼마나 후왜할걸 알았으면
어리고 바보라서
그때는 몰라따

RIP 장군삼춘

My uncle passed away tonight. I got a call at 10pm from my aunt asking me if I could come over because uncle wasn't doing too well. She asked if I could help get him to the hospital. I rushed over, but his condition had gotten worse, so we decided to call 911. The fire department, sheriff officers, and medical team arrived in about 5 minutes and tried to resuscitate him but he was gone. He passed away from pancreatic cancer stage 4 which had spread to his liver and kidneys.

RIP Uncle.

This was the first time in my life I saw someone die in front of my eyes, and to say the least it's a traumatic experience. You really can't describe it in words, nor will anyone unfamiliar with this experience understand the emotions that someone goes through in this situation. After the shock is gone though, the dead body appears to be someone sleeping. I can sorta understand now why soldiers go into PTSD.

Post 60 Day Diet Results


Forgot to post this on June 1st. Total weight loss was 25lbs, however this does not include the added muscle mass. I think i'm at about 12% body fat right now. Current weight is 185lbs and I haven't felt this good since 2011. Back then (2011) i was slim at 175lbs, but i had no muscle mass. I just looked skinny with no definition. This time around I may be 10lbs heavier, but have broader shoulders and a decent 4 pack.

Next phase will be to go down to my ideal goal of 170-175lbs. Optimal weight for a totally cut 5'11 tall person is 175, but that's for people going into body building competitions. I think at 170 I will get the washboard abs i was aiming for. I haven't felt this good in a very long time. Once i reach my 170 goal, it will probably have been over 15 years since i've been in this shape.

Losing weight at this stage gets really hard. Some people peak out and strain to lose the last 10-15lbs. It may take a while, but I will have to press forward. Based on my spreadsheet calculator I created on Excel it's going to take another 45 days. I hope to post more photos then.

Beachbody Insanity Workouts

Man, I'm sick of going through these yo-yo diets. I keep going up and down like Chandler on Friends. But through this journey I've learned a lot about living a healthy lifestyle with hundreds of hours of reading, researching, and self experiments. It's interesting when you find out what you've been doing correctly / incorrectly in the past and ways to improve the methods. This time is for real, once I get back to the physical goal I've set for myself - it's time to not yo-yo back up.

April 1st, I've started on the Beachbody Insanity work outs with Shaun T. Along with a healthy diet of mostly protein and fruits - the next 60 days will be tough. I am drenched in sweat after the workouts and can safely say there are some minor results already. The huge article I've been writing about the secrets to loosing weight will be posted up soon. Possibly after the 60 days.
