![]() ![]() The largest lamb steak, these are typically cross cut slab of meat from the upper portion of the hind leg. Leg steaks (I’ve seen them referred to as Leg Chops at Vons) are one of those inventions. The Leg Chop - Butcher’s never tire of new ways to give Americans more of what they want when it comes to meat-a BBQ-friendly, searable steak that is also delicious. If you haven’t tried it, we’ll hook you up, but order ahead! Seared and roasted-or rotisseried over a wood fire at my house-the roast feeds six, and can be easily sliced into incredibly tender, and flavorful medallions of the best parts of the animal. The entire short loin is deboned leaving a boneless porterhouse, a cylindrical slab of tenderloin and strip loin wrapped in a generous fat cap. Steaks can never be too rare, but don’t cook this chop over 130☏ in the center.īutcher’s Tip #2:The loin chop can be turned into my favorite cut of lamb, the saddle roast. ![]() Thicker than the rib chop, it stands up to direct heat for longer, and the bone helps keep the center pink. When crosscut, the saddle makes the very rare, double chop, or saddle chop-two lamb porterhouses end to end, yum!Ĭooking Tip #2: This sear-able badboy, is probably the best of the loin cuts to go on the grill. The loin chop actually starts as a saddle, which gets its name because it looks like…a saddle. If you look closely, you’ll see the loin chop does look like a baby beef Porterhouse with a generous portion of strip loin and tenderloin (the most tender cut of lamb), separated by the chine bone. A more accurate term would be T-bone, or short loin chop-but I don’t make the rules. The Loin Chop - This one is a bit of a misnomer, as the rib chop mentioned above is also technically made up of loin meat. The cut still looks elegant, but has larger portions for hungrier guests, and saves some dough. To save some money, buy your racks “trimmed” not “Frenched.” This exposes only about an inch of bone. It takes time to properly “French” a rack, and we’re making the cut lighter, so we have to charge more. But what most guests don’t realize is that you’re paying a lot more for basically…bone. Serve rare, 125☏.īutcher’s Tip #1: The rib chop is the OG Tomahawk Steak. Roasting is not a bad way to go either, but make sure to cover any exposed bones with some foil to prevent scorching. ![]() They are too delicate to end up on the grill. If you want to be super badass-if not a little snooty-interlace two fully Frenched racks into an elegant table centerpiece, the Guard de Honour.Ĭooking Tip #1: I think these chops should always be pan seared. A delicious alternative is to remove the bones entirely, and roll the loin into a cylindrical noisette. “Frenched” simply means skillfully exposing and cleaning about half of the rib bone from the chop-it looks cool. It’s also likely “Frenched.” No we’re not assaulting our chops. Mild in flavor, the entire rack can be roasted whole on high heat, or seared quickly in a pan as individual chops. Known as the “rack,” rib chop, or lollipop, rib chops are made up of a large, single loin muscle and a slender rib bone. Pick up orders have no service fees, regardless of non-Instacart+ or Instacart+ membership.The Rib Chop - I’ve never been asked for a lamb ribeye, but that’s what you’re getting when you order the most popular cut of lamb.Instacart+ membership waives this like it would a delivery fee. ![]()

![]() There are many other color variations of obsidian in Mexico such as rainbow, sheen, snowflake, mahogany, peanut, and velvet. ![]() Obsidian pieces scatter the mountainside and miners rarely have to dig deeper than a meter to find extensive deposits of black obsidian. For our business, we source all of our obsidian from Mexico where the third largest obsidian deposits in the world are found, west of Guadalajara. It is a durable stone for jewelry that can last generations. Today, obsidian is used primarily for jewelry and has a hardness of 5-6 on the Moh's scale. Tezcatlipoca’s left foot is an obsidian mirror and another obsidian mirror is found on his chest. Understanding the fascinating cultural history creates more meaning for this beautiful stone in the present-day. And the mythology of the obsidian mirrors is very beautiful and intriguing. I loved learning more about the rich cultural history of Obsidian in Mexico-I’ve always noticed its prominence in contemporary Mexican jewelry and been drawn to its darkness and sheen. Some describe Tezcatlipoca as a mirror that reflects the essence of every being, a confrontation with the true self. Tezcatlipoca's animal disguise was the jaguar which he could shape shift into. Tezcatlipoc-a powerful deity in the Aztec (Mexica) pantheon also known as Lord Smoking Mirror-was often represented by an obsidian mirror. They were both receivers and communicators of divine force. Similar to the human eye, an obsidian mirror was a tool used to see. Obsidian mirrors were polished on two sides and had two faces and two functions: the first was to reveal the rulers’ will to the people and the second was to reveal the misdoings of the people to the ruler. Each mirror had a hole on the top which was threaded and meant to be worn as a necklace. Each Aztec (Mexica) ruler owned a mirror with which to observe their subjects and be able to see their misdoings. In their language, Nahuatl, the word for mirror is synonymous with the word for ruler. Obsidian mirrors were a symbol of power and wisdom. Diviners would gaze into the shifting and shadowy black obsidian and would see into the future as well as visit the past. These mirrors were used as a medium of divination and were often called “smoke” or “spirit” mirrors. One of the most fascinating uses of obsidian in Aztec (Mexica) culture was the creation of large obsidian mirrors that were polished on both sides and used in shamanic rituals and prophecy. Obsidian allowed the Aztecs (Mexicas) to make great advances in their society and its value brought them wealth and power through conquering and trading with other groups. Obsidian filled a role similar to that of metals in Europe. The Aztecs (Mexicas) controlled large obsidian deposits near Guanajuato and used the obsidian to make weapons, tools, adornments, and to trade with other groups. For the rest of this blog I’ll keep using the term Mexica in parentheses because of the historic accuracy.Īt its peak, the empire ruled over most of Mesoamerica, with the seat of power in the valley of Mexico where present-day Mexico City is. Mexico was also named after the Mexicas, who flourished in central Mexico from 1300 to 1521. Interestingly, the term Mexica is the historically correct term for the people in central Mexico, who were then misnomered by a Dutch historian as the Aztecs. The Aztec (Mexica) empire used obsidian for these properties and more, as it was abundant in central Mexico due to volcanic activity. Obsidian blade compared to a steel blade under a microscope Some surgeons opt to use obsidian for surgeries and claim that the fine incisions of a sharp obsidian blade heal faster and produce less scarring than a steel blade. Under a high magnification microscope, an obsidian blade appears smooth, whereas a steel blade has a saw-like edge. I knew about some of these properties of obsidian, but I was shocked to learn that obsidian can fracture down to a single atom! This cutting edge is said to be five hundred times sharper than a steel blade. ![]() Flintknapping is the process of flaking or chipping away parts of obsidian to create a razor sharp edge.įlintknapping a piece of obsidian to make an arrowheadĪt 30 angstroms-a unit of measurement equal to one hundred millionth of a centimeter-obsidian is significantly sharper than steel. When broken properly, it fractures into a razor sharp edge. The resulting material is amorphous (arranged without structure or form), brittle, and hard. Obsidian is a volcanic glass, which occurs when magma rich in silica (65 - 80%) cools so quickly that it does not have a chance to crystallize. ![]() ![]() ![]() , LONDON-()-The Cable Connectors And Adapters market will register an incremental spend of Cable Connectors And Adapters Market Procurement Intelligence Report with COVID-19 Impact Analysis | Global Forecasts, 2020-2024, Coronavirus morning recap: Asymptomatic cases, vaccine manufacturing, and Covid UIF payouts Coronavirus morning recap: Asymptomatic cases, vaccine manufacturing, and Covid UIF payouts latest, New Jersey doesn't plan to scrap its travel advisory that calls for N.J.

These associations were not evident in analyses of continuous 2D:4D. There was a similar weak association between male right 2D:4D and the ratio of testosterone to oestradiol. For males, right 2D:4D was weakly inversely associated with circulating testosterone (predicted geometric mean testosterone was 15.9 and 15.0 nmol/L for the lowest and highest tertiles of male right 2D:4D respectively ( P- trend = 0.04). No strong associations were observed between 2D:4D measures and circulating concentrations of hormones for men or women. Predicted geometric mean hormone concentrations (for tertiles of 2D:4D) and conditional correlation coefficients (for continuous 2D:4D) were obtained using mixed effects linear regression models. Free testosterone and oestradiol were estimated using standard formulae derived empirically. The outcome measures were circulating concentrations of testosterone, oestradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, androstenedione, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, androstenediol glucoronide for men only and oestrone sulphate for women only. Concentrations of circulating sex hormones were measured from plasma collected at baseline (1990-1994), while digit length was measured from hand photocopies taken during a recent follow-up (2003-2009). ![]() The sample consisted of of 1036 men and 620 post-menopausal women aged between 39 and 70 at the time of blood draw.

The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is used as a marker of prenatal sex hormone exposure. ![]() ![]() ![]() Researching on the hair dryers that suit your hair type and texture can be tiring.

Michael Dell has a good track record of achieving synergies and de-leveraging. Dell Technologies is expected to benefit from $2 billion of synergies within the first 1-2 years post close. After DELL is merged with EMC the company will be renamed Dell Technologies and its businesses will be reorganized into 5 segments: Enterprise Solutions (combining EMC Info Storage and Dell Enterprise), Client Solutions (Dell PCs, notebooks, tablets, branded peripherals), VMware (VMW virtualization and cloud products), SecureWorks (SCWX cyber security products), Emerging Cloud Solutions (includes Pivotal and Boomi) and Dell Software.

Dell is paying EMC shareholders $24.05 per share in cash and issuing 0.111 shares of a tracking stock in VMW per share of EMC held. VMW is a lead player in data center virtualization and the cloud. The merger also gives Dell control of EMC's 80% owned VMWare ( VMW). The combined company will have leading positions in servers, storage, virtualization and PCs and be well positioned in other fast growing IT segments: Digital Transformation, Software Defined Data Centers, Hybrid Cloud, Converged Infrastructure, Mobile, and Security.
