Steak Enthusiast

Well, I finally got my celebratory steak dinner last night.

My husband and I waited until we put the kids to bed and we (okay, he) grilled up 4 yummy sirloin steaks.

Even though our part of the world received 7 inches of snow yesterday (so bad that schools were delayed 2 hours this morning) we grilled outside, darnit!

We really just wanted some old school steaks. And we got them.

I ate 1 and my husband ate 3. Um, he told me he skipped lunch and he was really hungry.

We turned off the lights, lit some candles and just talked about the difficult week we just had. Some good steaks and some good company always seem to make me feel better.

We decided that we never want to see the inside of a hospital again and that Will Ferrell’s new movie “Semi-Pro” is probably really bad — but we might go see it anyway.

(It was kind of a stream-of-consciousness discussion.)

Good food is the elixir for all the world’s problems. I hope you have some this weekend, too!

Okay. I love steak, but I can’t decide if the Web site I’m about to introduce you to takes it a bit too far.

It’s Meat-O-Matic.com. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?

Nah. Didn’t think so.

This is where you can purchase such goodies as a steak pullover hoodie, steak band-aids, a steak shower curtain and steak tile appliques.

Uh-huh. I want my bathroom decorated with steak.

And here’s a quote from the product description: “DIY bathroom decoration has never been meatier.”

Do you really want it to be meaty? 

Hey, I love steak (maybe more than your average Joe) but even I’m not convinced I want pictures of it covering my paper cuts.

Check it out for yourself. I just can’t be held responsible for it offending your sensibilities.

The following is my twist on Barbara Walters’ famously ridiculous question to the stars:  If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

If you were a steak, what kind of steak would you be?

Arnold Schwarzenegger:  Uh, hallo. A Por-tahaus.  (That’s Porterhouse to you and me.)

Angelina Jolie:  A Filet Mignon in Madeira sauce. But served with vegetables from every country in the world. I like everything to have an international flair.

Matthew McConaughey:  A Strip, baby!

Keira Knightley:  A thin-cut ribeye. Although if I actually ate one it would take me 6 days to finish it.

George Clooney:  USDA Prime Top Sirloin. Yeah, you know why.

Paul McCartney:  London Broil. That’s where Abbey Road is, right? Close enough.
