Today is a sad day indeed for the music world as we’ve lost one of the great rock keyboard players, Richard Wright.  This also ends any hope for a full Pink Floyd reunion, which probably wouldn’t have happened anyway.

I’ve been a huge Pink Floyd fan since a friend gave me a copy of The Wall in 9th grade.  I quickly started amassing a collection of tapes from my local used music store.  Wish You Were Here, Animals, Delicate Sound of Thunder, on and on, then finally Dark Side of the Moon.  I’m not sure why I got that album so late in my Floyd loving career but once I got a copy I was hooked.  In my opinion Dark Side is the greatest rock album ever recorded and it might be the greatest album of all time.  I’ve probably listened to that album 10 times more than any other album in my life.  I’ve been fortunate enough to get to see Wright play with Floyd a few times and each time it’s been an almost religious experience.  A truly amazing musician who will be sadly missed.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe so I figured I’d share this one with everyone. This is very easy to make and tastes fantastic, in fact it’s one of my all time favorite ways to prepare steak. So here goes:

What you need
1 lb flank steak
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp vinegar
3-5 tbsp scallions

What you do
Combine all ingredients in either a seal able container or zip lock bag. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 4 hours, longer if possible (you can easily leave it over night). Turn it several times while marinating. Sear the steak on the grill over high heat for about 3 minutes per side (you want it medium-rare). Don’t over cook it, it can dry out pretty easily. After you take it off the grill let it sit for about 5 minutes then slice into strips – if you have extra slice that up too for left overs (if you don’t slice it up it’ll dry out pretty easily). Enjoy!
