I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend – whatever holiday you celebrate.

And I hope you receive one of the above goodies. Strawberry-flavored steak treats – or perhaps bacon?

You’ve been good all year, right?

Wait, if you’ve been good does that mean you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT receive this?

I’m confused.

In any case, have a happy, happy weekend filled with joy surrounded by the ones you love.

That’s universal.

Remember when you used to make an ashtray out of popsicle sticks for dear old Dad for Father’s Day?

Not such a great idea.

Well, you can still make him something homemade – but this time, he’ll REALLY enjoy it.

Try making him a homemade steak rub (along with a really good cut of meat).

Here’s a fantabulous recipe that will make Dad very, very happy this Sunday. It’s got garlic powder, red chili flakes and lots of other good stuff to make a tasty and memorable steak.

Think of the smiles and tears and accolades for years to come! This will be a Father’s Day to remember. And you won’t have to wait in line at Denny’s.

Seriously, THIS homemade gift will be a Father’s Day home run!

Gorgeous, right?

I like pretty, shiny, colorful things.

Mix them with a good steak and I’m in my happy place.

Aren’t these acrylic steak knives beautiful? They’re from France. Somehow, that makes them even more beautiful. I don’t know why.

They’re Claude Dozorme steak knives from the Laguiole region of France.

Fancy schmancy.

Click here if you must have these for yourself. And bon appetit!
