Leftover steak. It wasn't thrilling.  We had a fair amount of that tomahawk steak leftover. Some of it had been a little to rare for my wife last night.  I was not inspired so I left it to her to figure out what to do with it. She sliced up the really rate stuff and fried it up a bit. She made some scrambled eggs for me and threw hers into a salad. It was okay. We made a note not to every get another steak that big.

I've seen those tomahawk steaks at the meat market and wondered why anyone would pay so much for what is basically a ribeye with a lot of extra bone.  What is this, the old Flintstone's cartoon, eating like a caveman?  Seems silly to me.  The ones I see are at least 3 inches thick but then there is all that extra bone that tips the scales in terms of cost.  Even at 2", you're mostly paying for the weight of the bone.  I don't get it.  I buy the occasional ribeye steak but never bone-in. Again, because why would I want to pay extra for the bone?
