It’s Friday the 13th!

I’m not very superstitious, but this day does have kind of a Halloweeny-type feel, doesn’t it?

And in that spirit I give you. . . Steak Bites with Bloody Mary Dipping Sauce.

Festive, right?

These come from the super fabulous Rachael Ray so you know they’re good!

They’re bite-sized sirloin with a tasty sauce for dipping. But you could also use tenderloin tips.

Check out the recipe here – and have yourself a spooky dinner tonight!

Have you ever sprayed your food?

I’ll admit, I have not. It simply has never occurred to me.

But I have been hearing about this flavorful spray for burgers (or anything else you wish to spray) that gives them that extra umph we’re sometimes looking for.

Umami is a popular restaurant chain in California. But I don’t live in California and I was unfamiliar with the fabulosity that is Umami.

Until…the spray. Which I can order online. It’s a combo of plant and seafood essences that gives your burger or steak or anything a bit of salty pizazz. You decide how much.

Like the taste but need more Umami? Just spray on more!

If only everything were this simple.

Check it out on your next burger and tell me if you’re a Umami fan now. Visit the site here. Then spray away!

Sometimes a beautiful steak dinner is more like a work of art.

THIS is one of those times.

I knew you, my friends, would appreciate the artistry of this beautifully constructed meal.

Can’t you just taste it?

That’s the sign of a true artist. This touched me, so it did its job.

Steak tonight, anyone? 🙂
