Spicy Cilantro Sauce.
One of the best condiments I have ever made. Seriously, I wanted to grab a spoon and dig in like it was soup.
The steaks, marinated in classic Asian flavors, are the perfect vehicle to enjoy the sauce on. I served some rice, too, to further soak up that dreamy sauce.

Recipes from Crisco.com (I used the ingredient quantities from a Crisco booklet from 2003. Called for a little more oil and some sherry in the marinade)
Dreamy sauce. Dreamy synth.
Turin-based electro-pop band Monuments are releasing demo tapes of 6 of their 1980s tunes. Classic sound. Brings me right back to college.
Check out Monuments on the Mannequin Record’s Website. You can buy the music here.
Cheers!
