Except for when going out somewhere, we live in flip flops. People don't walk in shoes inside lest they be flops. If there were a single company who produced them, we'd be rolling in money like 45.
We wear flops or go barefooted indoors.
You're right about that poor steak. Heat the grill, toss steak on sear that side then repeat for the opposite side. Nice bloody, juicy, cold in the middle Delmonico (or other good cut) properly cooked steak.
Will even stay outside the kitchen telling them when to turn it and take it off the heat. Prefer to broil it myself. Don't enjoy wasting meat.
