So, a new study has found that men equate meat eating with masculinity.

What does this mean for us meat-eating women?

Not much.

I don’t think I’M particularly manly because I love red meat. But I do feel it gives me nutrients my body needs. And if that’s manly — so be it.

I do like that the study found that meat eating was associated with strength and power. Yes. I’ll toast to that.

Keep in mind that this study was what was in the “male” mind. No women were included as study subjects.

I have to admit I do agree that there is something inherently powerful about eating a steak. It must appeal to our base instincts as a mammal.

But what do you think? Is meat eating manly to you?

A little chart for ya on this educational Friday.

For the older kids, this chart’ll help you learn where each cut of beef comes from on the cow. Take notes, because there WILL be a test later.

And for you younger ones, well, just enjoy an age-old nursery rhyme involving a cow jumping over the moon.

That’s enough learning for today. My head hurts now.

And I’m hungry.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Oh. Yum.

It’s time to get outside and grill! Here’s a great video to help you get the most out of your Kansas City Strips.

It’s amazing how different cuts should be cooked slightly differently to enhance the cut’s flavor. You can really take it to a whole other level if you take the time to really know your beef.

Follow these instructions and see how it works for you!

Or…just watch and enjoy the beauty of a gorgeous steak. I just like to watch it sizzle and cook and imagine the smell.

Then, of course, it makes me want to go grill one.

Happy grilling!
