Christmas Steak

Steak is perfect for ANY meal – even Christmas dinner.

Apparently, Uncle Eddie (of Uncle Eddie’s Theory Corner) thinks so, too.

Here, he gives us explicit instructions on how to make the best Christmas Steak Dinner EVER.

He uses ribeyes in his recipe which makes him A-OK in my book. Enjoy Uncle Eddie’s facial expressions and descriptions, too. He’s a hoot!

And after you click here to see Uncle Eddie’s tips, let me know how your Christmas steak turns out!

Stolen Steaks

America’s retailers have compiled a list of the country’s most shoplifted items. Want to know what was number one?

Filet mignon.

Writer John Kass questioned his friends on this topic and got this in response . . .

“Really?” asked a hard-boiled journalist who knows steak. “Filet mignon? Don’t these thieves have any taste buds? You’d think they’d steal something with flavor, like a nice Kansas City strip.”

(There they are together in the photo above. You decide. Which one is better?)

Kass then goes on to share his favorite steak sauce recipe just in case the thieves find those tender filets delicious, yet lacking in taste.

Click here to get that recipe and to read about some other steak-related mishaps from Kass’ childhood.

It’s a Steakapalooza of stories!

Have a great weekend – and if you’ve got a hankering for a steak, my advice is to BUY some!

Lincoln Loves Steak

Yes, that really is Lincoln eating a scrumptious steak in blue jeans and a very snazzy turtleneck.

Er, well, that’s Daniel Day-Lewis portraying Lincoln eating a scrumptious steak in blue jeans and a very snazzy turtleneck.

He’s filming a movie about the iconic president’s life and, hey, the man’s gotta eat, right? Why not a sizzling steak?

Seeing as how presidents in the 19th century did not wear jeans and turtlenecks, I gather this was on break from filming. But those guys DID, however, eat steak. There is historical documentation of that fact.

Do you think DDL was getting into character here? Or does he just really love steak?

Either, way, he’s got my vote!
