Plain 'roo

Ah, remember this? The plain 'roo.

So these days we don't even add salt to our food anymore.  We only add salt when we have other people around for a meal, so that they don't think that we're bland.  Although, as a result, it means that we really struggle the next day if we've been out for dinner a restaurant the night before - not too many salt free restaurants out there!!! But I digress...

Anyway, so we don't add salt to our food, but we do tend to cook with lots of tasty vegies. Or we just go with the natural salts that occur in the meat. You know, it's one big delicate balancing act to make sure that the food tastes nice.

However, one night, we'd bought some 'roo steaks and Lupo was cooking - uh oh! Hehehe. So he pretty much plonks the meat on the (cold) pan and lets it cook. Watching by and doing my usual inspection, I suggested that he sprinkle some salt on top for flavour. But he refused, told me not to meddle and to let him cook. Or perhaps this time I didn't mention anything, given all the previous times he'd told me not to meddle... I dunno. Can't remember.

Either way, so Lupo plates up our meal, we sit down in front of the TV and start eating. Hmph. Man, it was so bland and tasteless, a bit dry and just kinda not very nice. Lupo was very disappointed. And urgh, it was just such a terrible meal! And the meat was so expensive! Ay, ay, ay.

He knows to season and to taste before serving these days.
