Have you seen the new Ziploc commercial?

Basically, the people throw away perfectly good sirloin steaks.

They’re trying to make the point if you use cheap storage bags you’re throwing away good food.

It’s a travesty. Tragic, I tell you!

Just look at that beautiful sirloin steak up there! Would YOU throw that away? Ugh, it makes me so, so sad.

Even in the name of artistic expression – or marketing – I cannot abide throwing out a gorgeous, perfect steak.

Look for that commercial the next time you’re watching TV and you tell me if it hurts you like it hurts me.

You CANNOT throw away sirloin steaks! Right?

Simply gorgeous.

I love thin-cut steaks. Now I know I’m probably in the minority here, because most of you love a thick, red or pink in the middle, medium rare cut.

But I like thinly cut meat. Always have. Some call them “minute steaks.” To me, it soaks in the marinade better and is just more flavorful.

This steak pictured above is wildly spicy with red pepper flakes, lemon juice, brandy and more. I mean, my mouth is watering right now.

Just think how that steak is going to soak in those amazing flavors. Oh, and when you bite into it – ecstasy!

It’s election season. The movers and shakers (or, em steakers) are in full force.

And what meal signals strength, power, skill, plans, confidence?

STEAK.

Yes.

This is a news story about Rick Perry and Rupert Murdoch and the headline focuses on WHAT THEY ATE during a recent meeting.

Why is that important? Why isn’t the headline about what they talked about? Perry’s plan IF HE BECOMES OUR PRESIDENT?

What they ate says something about them. Says something about their meeting. Steak is power.

Interesting.

What if they dined on chicken salad? Nothing wrong with chicken salad. But what message does that send?
