I have never cooked top sirloin. Was it tender? And isn't Mongoose a vegetarian or vegan? Why would she condone your meat eating by giving you steak knives?
First, Mongoose is tolerant of lifestyles different from her own.
Second, she is no longer a vegetarian, because obviously.

Top sirloin is my favorite cut of meat. It is leaner than what most steak lovers prefer, but I don't like big chunks of fat in my meat. I would say it's fairly tender, though not as much so as filet mignon. I think the flavor of a good top sirloin can't be beat.

Re: What are you eating RIGHT NOW???

Objectively, candy corn shouldn't be edible, but I will eat handful after handful of it around this time of year and be very happy.

Cucumber.

P.S. Putting the numeral in parentheses after a written number is always extremely funny to me. I do it a lot.

Re: What are you eating RIGHT NOW???

Other English cheeses I enjoy include Double Gloucester, Wensleydale and Sage Derby.

My favorite cheese joke follows, although it really doesn't work unless read out loud with the right inflection.

Q: What kind of cheese do you use to lure a bear out of its cave?
A: Camembert!

Re: What are you eating RIGHT NOW???

I like White Stilton a lot. The only time I had Blue Stilton I thought it was disgusting, but I think I'd like to try it again, as I have had a great deal more cheese since then and I feel my taste buds are more receptive now than they were at the time.

Re: What are you eating RIGHT NOW???

I splurged today and got a little piece of Red Leicester cheese at the store. I do love English cheeses so, although I can't hear "Red Leicester" without thinking of Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch.

For fries, I quite like mixing mayonnaise and mustard together. Sometimes mere malt vinegar is a good choice.

Mustard is usually sufficient for the burger, as it allows me to taste the meat, but sometimes barbecue sauce is a nice touch if I am feeling my Texan roots. Buffalo sauce is an alternative option as well, as is bleu cheese dressing, or simple mayonnaise (which I find goes well with everything.)

There is a whole world of sauces out there more interesting than ketchup.

Grapefruit is my favorite fruit. I can eat it and eat it and eat it for days, getting something like a billion percent of my recommended Vitamin C allowance. It is so good. I peel it and eat it like an orange. None of this cutting it in half business for me.
I would have thought it was cherries! You know, I almost said in my post that I don't split them and pour sugar on top. I love the way peeling a grapefruit feels, probably because the peel is so thick. I separate it into segments and eat it that way. No sweetener needed. I like white grapefruit over red.

I'm glad I'm not on any Rx or I'd be in trouble since it seems to mess up every Rx ever.

I once made a grapefruit balsamic glaze for asparagus. I use it anywhere I'd use OJ, which I find too sweet.
I made a grapefruit pie once, which was not an unqualified success.

Have you ever made candied grapefruit peel? It's easy and incredibly delicious.

Oh, they are not reasonably priced. They were on sale at the store for $3.50 a pound, which is about as good as I can ever expect to get them. But I wanted them, so I got them!
