Happened across a couple of pretty Prime New York Strip steaks while at the grocer, and they were at a pretty good price. I also had an inherited cask of MSG, and it just needed to happen.
Things went a bit wonky in the process.

I managed to short a lighting circuit while I was working on something else, and it took out the lighting in five rooms. When I went to reset the breaker, the breaker hadn't tripped, which meant that something in the wiring had failed somewhere.
I needed to find out what went wrong and where it went wrong.
