Here's what the google says about the New York cut, Cityboy:
"New York strip steaks are a particular type of sirloin cut. They're cut from the front of the loins from an area called the short loin. This area is particularly tender and flavorful, meaning that New York strips are some of the tastiest steaks you can find."
Lol I've never heard of Boston butts, as applied to edible parts of farm animals.
It sounded to me like more of a pork product than beef, so I checked out the google again, and learned that Boston butt is a cut from part of the shoulder of a pig. Now, in my travels around home, I will ask butchers and cooks whether they are familiar with the term Boston butts. To me, it is called a pork shoulder, but of course I am not a butt specialist.

Wrapping up another sober day here. Hope everyone is doing well and especially hope everything went smoothly for you Daisy.
On the topic of meat, I grilled a couple of nice NY strips last week during a break from winter. Normally a potential trigger, but no big deal this time. Guess I am starting to test the waters a bit. FWIW, the local meat market did not sell Boston butts (or any kind of butts that I am aware of)
...and with that lame attempt to boost the meager dopamine levels of early sobriety, I will say goodnight.

Boston butts are enormously popular here. People use them for making pulled pork and put them in smokers a lot. When they are on sale for like $1 per pound I make homemade sausage with them.

Good morning classmates
A quick check in. Bleary eyed as I work my way through the first of many coffee's today.
Not too much yesterday of mention. Found myself at such an obvious need for a celebratory drink, because of a work achievement, but didn't. Staying the course.
Have a healthy, happy and sober day all. Thankful to wake, read and share posts each morning. Even if I am sleepy !

Hello class.
Today's the day I get to my work desk here at home by 6 a.m. (20 minutes from when I write this line).
My private pledge to self (and, I am told, 180,000 SobeRlandians) for Wednesday, Hump Day:
1. I will work on the long-neglected Workywork Project A until 9 a.m., minimum.
1.5. [Interlude, see wassup in SobeRlandia.]
2. I'll turn my attention to Workywork Project B, with a soft internal deadline of today, after A is in passable condition.
3. Then I get to spend a little more time planning out my upcoming 3-day weekend in NYC.
[Now it's 9 minutes till #1.]
Catch y'all l8r.

Good morning and thank you for the well wishes! Everything went well yesterday. I did come out of anesthesia with tachycardia, but it fortunately went back down as the anesthesia wore off. I tend to have a high heart rate anyway. Right now I have an anesthetic block, so I’m numb from my knee down. That should wear off sometime today. It’s driving me crazy not being able to feel anything, but I suppose I’ll be wanting that sensation back when the pain kicks in. One hour at a time...
Also, now I’m craving steak.
I hoe you all have a fantastic day! Congrats on 3 weeks, Cynix!

Glad to hear your surgery went well Daisy. Must be a relief to have it over with.
Y'all got me thinking about steak now. It's another snowy day but it won't take much to get hubby to dig out the bbq as he loves it even more!
