The words send shivers down my spine.

Someone is stealing meat? It can’t be true.

But this photo is of an alleged thief who has a laser focus:  steak.

Consider this from police officer Lisa Klein…

“He filled up a hand basket and just walked out,” Klein said. “I guess he just likes steak.”

You bet he likes steak. Enough to risk his freedom and dignity.

Shame.

Folks, there is a simple way to indulge your steak urges. Just pay for it! It’s the American way.

Let’s hope this guy’s shame is a cautionary tale. Just bum a few bucks off your friends if you need a steak and you’re a little short.

Case closed.

For all the details on this horrific crime, check out the full story here – if you dare.

…they just go together.

Well, at least the Dallas Cowboys’ Dez Bryant thinks so.

If you live in the Dallas area, you’ve no doubt heard about the exorbitant amount of money the rookie player spent on a steak dinner for his teammates recently.

If you haven’t had the pleasure, read about it here.

Needless to say, he gives the term “Big Spender” new meaning.

But, I say, if you’re gonna spend thousands of dollars on something, it might as well be steak. Right? Right?

All that protein has to help the Cowboys’ record, we’d hope.

If you’ve got the money, you might as well spend it making the people around you very happy. Very, VERY happy.

Well done, Dez. And if you’re ever feeling that charitable again, you can reach me here at my blog. I respond personally to each comment. Thanks.

We welcomed the brisk fall air this weekend with a sizzle . . .

. . . and it turned into this . . .

Pure greatness.

We grilled up some thin-cut ribeyes and this beauty above is a thick Kansas City strip steak. Oh, the joy.

The smells of the grill, the steaks and the fall air were absolutely divine.

Welcome, autumn. You can stop by my house any time.
