Steak and Ice Cream

Conversations with family:

[Dad and I are discussing cooking shows while he gets himself ice cream]
Me: I would lose so badly on those things. I couldn’t even cook a steak, because I don’t eat them.
Dad: Well, you eat them in restaurants. But that doesn’t help you cook it at home, though. [He chips ineffectively at the ice cream, which just came out of the chest freezer]
Me: You could put it in the microwave.
Dad: [stares] They’d arrest you!
Me: [confused] I know it melts faster at the sides, but you can scoop at the sides first?
Dad: Oh. The ice cream. Not the steak.
