Gifts Of Meat In The Mail

My father-in-law can be a real saint at times. His latest act of goodwill has been the purchasing of prime cuts of beef to send to his daughter and son-in-law.

Franki and I eat a lot of beef - in fact we make steak salads most every day (using 4 oz of center cut round to eliminate most of the fat and keep our cholesterol down). We're not on Atkin's or anything, we just like meat.

So while mostly we're buying eye of round in bulk from Dierberg's we sometimes treat ourselves with the Peppercorn Eye of Round from Schnuck's, and if we're really feeling it, we head on over to Whole Food's for their beef, which is truly heavenly (even their steak kabobs are good, although they do make quite the hit on the wallet).

But then Franki's father sent us beef from Steaks Of St Louis. We had heard of Omaha Steaks, but thought the price was through the roof. We were content to receive the beef as presents, until we looked it up online and realized it was cheaper to order the good meat then it was to go out for dinner.

So we bucked up, and ordered. They arrived today - packed with dry ice and looking fantastic. Franki says its the best steak she ever had.

And Cinder loves the box.
