Tri-Tip Santa Maria Style. Seared on a cast iron and then roasted on the top rack. I used the cast iron for a drip pan. Add to that my wife's mashed taters and some string beans. Washed it down with a Samuel Smith India Ale and for desert there was hot apple pie with fresh whipped cream and a cup of AeroPress decaff. Sorry, it was too late at night for regular.

Stir and fold noodles and the eggs should be broken up into small pieces and dispersed uniformly. Continue to stir to avoid noodles from sticking to the pan. Add curry powder and check for seasoning.
