I just read this in a blog and I had to share. Really, because it’s not often that you hear emotional stories about steak and how it gets someone through hard times.

Steak generally doesn’t lend itself to such discussions.

But – why shouldn’t it? It really should.

Steak is how I celebrate things (birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, big wins). Why shouldn’t it be a great pick-me-up as well?

I call it steak therapy. Here’s what Elise from Elise’s Pieces wrote on the topic:

Now, a little note about heartbreak. Tonight, not on the potty, Nichelle and I were talking about heartbreak and other yucky things. And we realized that both of our daddies get us steak when we are going through heartbreak or other yucky things. And we have very good daddies.

So, boys, remember this: buy Nichelle and I steak. Slash, one day when you’re daddies, buy your girls steak when they’re sad.

Hey, good advice from a recipient of such kindness.

Now go and make the world a better place – with steak. Someone out there needs it.

Don’t let this be you . . .

Keep your steaks and other grillable goodies safe this holiday weekend.

Because a steak is a terrible thing to waste.
