The House is set to return to Washington on Monday with no speaker, and no solution in sight to the Republican feuding that has left the post vacant and the chamber paralyzed for nearly two weeks.
Representative Jim Jordan, the hard-right Ohio Republican and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, became his party’s latest speaker-designate on Friday, after a majority of Republicans voted by secret ballot to name him their party’s candidate. But Mr. Jordan, who is popular with the G.O.P. base and a close ally of former President Donald J. Trump, is well short of the 217 votes he would need to be elected, amid resistance from many of the more mainstream Republicans.

What happens now? Well, I'm gonna put some Picanha wagu beef in the air fryer.
Cleaning And Preparing Your Picanha Cut
Before you air fry your picanha, it’s important to clean and prepare the meat properly. Here’s how:
Rinse the meat under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern to help it render and crisp up.
Rub the meat with a generous amount of coarse sea salt and freshly minced garlic, massaging it into the meat to ensure even seasoning.
Let the picanha sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat.
Cooking Your Picanha In The Air Fryer
Now that your picanha is cleaned and seasoned, it’s time to air fry it to perfection. Here’s how:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
Place the picanha in the air fryer basket, fat cap side up.
Cook for 20 minutes, then flip the meat over and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
Tips And Variations
Here are a few tips and variations to help you get the most out of your air-fried picanha:
Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that your picanha is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F; for medium, aim for 145°F.
Don’t forget the chimichurri: In Brazil, picanha is often served with chimichurri – a tangy herb sauce made with parsley, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. Try making your own chimichurri to serve alongside your air-fried picanha.
Experiment with seasonings: While traditional Brazilian seasoning consists of salt and garlic, feel free to experiment with other seasonings to give your picanha a unique flavor. Smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano are all great options.
Try different cooking methods: While air frying is a great option for picanha, feel free to try other cooking methods as well. Grilling, pan-searing, and roasting are all viable options.
You should try this. It makes the world go away. A couple bites of this stuff with the chimichurrri, and I guarantee you won't give a fat rat's ass if there's no speaker of the house. This is almost as good as a government shutdown. Relax and enjoy it.
