Happy Father's Day

Today is Father' Day and I have heard from most of my children by now. It was great talking to them and I sure miss all of them. I received a card and a special shirt from Kaitlin and Anna. It says "Grandpa has Gone Fish'n".

Max decided to jump up and read the shirt. He must need glasses if he needs to be that close to read it. (LOL)



I cooked a special Father's Day dinner which included a 6-oz. Filet Mignon, Corn on the cob and of course french fries. Yum-Yum.



For desert I had "Chocolate Lovers Cake". more Yum-Yum.


I didn't eat the entire missing piece. I've been working on it for a few days.

Actually a week ago I saw a Father's Day special from Omaha Steaks where you could get $173.00 worth of steaks, chicken, pork chops, burgers, stuffed potatoes, etc for $59.00. Sounded like a good deal and I am a Father so I ordered the package. They threw in the cake, some franks and a few extra burgers for free. What a deal, it comes out to about $4.50 a meal. The steaks are so tender since the beef has been aged for at least 21 days.

My Pizza freezer had to make room for all the frozen food.


It comes in a nice re-usable cooler and there is a small amount of dry-ice to keep it all frozen. In fact when UPS dropped it off they didn't ring the door bell to let me know it was there and it sat out in the sun for a few hours. Everything was still frozen and it actually took the dry-ice another whole day laying in the sink to finally evaporate.


Omaha Steaks have quite a system for delivering the food. You should look into it. They have deals running all the time. Their web site is http://www.omahasteaks.com/.
You won't find beef like this in the grocery store. Yes Andrew, even at Publics.


Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there!

  3. Hi Pops! I'm glad you enjoyed Father's Day. Thanks for being a great Dad!

    Thinking about those steaks is making me hungry. I could never find a good steak in Albania (they are all veal) so that's what I had for dinner the first night I was back in the US of A. Pretty neat how Omaha packages those steaks.
