Today my father-in-law decided to cook the ribeye that he got from the cow he and his neighbors raised from a calf. He set them in the fridge yesterday to thaw. They came from the butcher as a set of 4. They didn’t thaw by noon today so he decided to defrost them in the microwave 😱. When that didn’t work he then put them in a Ziploc bag and in room temperature water. I thought the blasphemy was done with the microwave but then he cooked them on the grill in foil! He cooks everything on the grill with foil. Never just grilling. I had to share this cause it was bugging me all day.
