Honey, I Feel Like a Steak

Ever have one of those conversations that goes something like this????

YOU:  “I really want a steak and baked potato.”

SPOUSE:  “Cool. How ya gonna make that happen?”

YOU:  “Uh. I haven’t gotten that far.”

SPOUSE:  “Let me know what you come up with.”

Yeah. Those are the days when you hope you have a supply of steaks on hand in the freezer because those urges can be a real bear.

Some folks I know did.

And those T-bones you see are proof.

Buy steaks in bulk; save a marriage. Good stuff.

Steak With Hashbrowns

Because I really like you, I give you THIS . . .

A thick, juicy, bone-in, Flintstones-lookin’ steak delight paired with a hunk ‘o hashbrowns.

I’m sorry, this is pure heaven.

I’d seriously rather have this over an entire chocolate cake any day. Hands down.

Plus wine? It’s too much goodness. It’s like looking right into an angel’s eyes. I’m not sure I’m worthy.

Click here to read a little more about this truly exquisite meal. But really — you know all you need to know from the photo.

You’re welcome!

Gaga’s Meat Dress: Best. Halloween. Costume. Ever.

So, you of course remember Lady Gaga’s meat dress. We’ve talked about it here and here.

Now with Halloween just a couple weeks away, you might want to start thinking about how you can replicate that beauty for your spooky neighborhood party.

According to one article, this is the hot costume of the Halloween season this year. Read on …

The prime cut in Halloween costumes this year is Lady Gaga’s meat dress – if you can find it.

The little bloody dress donned by the diva last month is the most searched for celebrity costume on Yahoo.com, the website said.

A check of local costume shops came up empty, but at least one city butcher is willing to create the getup.

“It would be a challenge, but I think we could make it,” said Andrew Ilnicki, a meat carver at the East Village Meat Market on E. Ninth St.

“You would have to be very skillful,” he said. “It looked like 15 to 20 pounds of flank steak. It would take 10 hours.”

The price? Ilnicki said the steaks alone would run $150 and the labor involved would bring the price for the cookout-ready costume close to $1,000.

That’s a lot of dough for a Halloween costume! What are YOU going to be for Halloween this year? Gaga, perhaps???
