Maybe it’s because I had yogurt for dinner last night.

But I NEED STEAK.

Beautiful, beautiful steak. Do you see that bacon? Oh, I need bacon, too.

Excuse me, I have to make a phone call. No, not to the Steak Fairy. To my husband.

I know what we’re having for dinner tonight.

They’re not real.

Would you WANT them to be?

I, personally, think it’s amazing when people can meld two passions into one to create something so off-the-wall it’s quite inspiring.

What would one do with these glow-in-the-dark steak replicas?

I guess it really doesn’t matter. Art is a matter of interpretation.

I feel like this artist is saying, “Yeah, I made this. Deal with it.”

So, tell me, what does this piece of “art” say to you?

Well, old Matty turned 40 yesterday and all is right with the world.

He spent his birthday whoopin’ it up with his buddies, his family and his blue, blue eyes, er, I mean, keen intellect.

So how will he spend today — his first full day at 40? Here’s what he said:

“Spend some more time with my family and friends today, grillin’ steaks and sippin’ beers, celebratin’ more to live for.”

Sounds good to me, Matt. Sounds good to me.

This makes me want to cry.

Those steaks were meant for someone else — and they will never see them!

Times are tough, but stealing someone’s steaks? It’s unthinkable.

If there is ONE THING in this world that should be sacred, it’s someone’s steak. Recession or no recession.

Let this be a lesson to all would-be steak burglars — HANDS OFF!

It’s Halloween time, people! Time to dress up like your favorite beef product!

Every year it amazes me the costumes people come up with. And this year is no different.

Case in point . . .

I’m thinking they’re missing some decimal points on the prices. But if not, no worries! Wouldn’t YOU pay 2 grand to look like a Porterhouse?

These guys are hilarious and they’re making me hungry. I like the kid and the dog who are being scared into a full-on sprint by the smiling steak. It’s priceless.

Just some FOOD FOR THOUGHT for ya. (You knew I had to do that.)

If you dress up like something beefy this Halloween puhleeeeeeease send me photos!!

It’s Halloween time!

So how do I celebrate?

Why, with a steak, of course. A Halloween steak.

It’s been a particularly challenging week here at the Steak Enthusiast casa, so it was time to stop, give ourselves a break and enjoy something we know always brings our spirits up.

This Kansas City strip was absolutely divine. And enjoying it on a Tuesday night was awesome. No special occasion — we just needed it.

The kids are looking forward to Saturday night when they will run around the neighborhood in their costumes, giggling and spilling candy with us trotting after them, lamenting how we’re too old for this.

You know, Halloween traditions.

Having this steak got us ready to take it all on.

So, really, what makes this a “Halloween steak?”

I put it on a plate next to a plastic pumpkin.

Any other questions?

Oh. My. Gosh.

Aren’t these gorgeous?

You know, presentation means so much when it comes to a wonderful meal.

I’ve found that to be true with my kids. If I turn the carrots into a smiley face they get eaten up with much more vigor than if I just slapped them onto a plate.

We adults are a bit more sophisticated, so we don’t really want our food to smile at us. But we do want it to be pleasing to the eye. It makes the whole experience more, well, pleasing.

That’s why these colorful Steak & Boursin Wrapped Bells are perfect for a dinner party — or just when you want to please someone special.
