This makes me want to cry.

Times are tough, but stealing someone’s steaks? It’s unthinkable.

If there is ONE THING in this world that should be sacred, it’s someone’s steak. Recession or no recession.

Spooky Steak Pizza With Pear and Arugula

This one is filed under “Eerie Entrees” over at MyRecipes.com. But, really, there’s nothing scary about this scrumptious grilled steak on a homemade pizza — except for the fact that if you cook this for your Halloween dinner and little ghosts and goblins come to your door and smell it, they will never leave your house.

Now THAT’S scary.
