Steak Cook-Off at the Magnolia Blossom Festival
Hey, I may be planning way too far in advance on this one, but I think I’m gonna try to attend the Magnolia Blossom Festival: May 14th & 15th, 2010, in Magnolia, Arkansas. It’s only about a 2 hour drive outside of Shreveport.
Steak Cookers Gallery
Welcome to the 2010, 22nd Annual Magnolia Blossom Festival
and 21st Annual World Championship Steak Cook-Off. This will
also be the 60th Anniversary of the Sidewalk Art Show.
Will you join me on Saturday May 15th at 4PM for “The Lighting of the Grills” and stay until 6PM “Steak Eating on the Magnolia Square”? We could meet up earlier on Friday the 14th at the Farmers Bank West Stage for Singing Fine Gospel Music!

Bacon Wrapped Steak Recipe
Momswhothink.com shows of a Bacon Wrapped Steak Recipe is how it’s done. Making money by blogging I mean. Where you don’t actually post content that you have to think about, and the ads on your site take over, and have very little to do with your content. And the recipe you feature is something, that when I read it it actually makes no sense. That’s how it’s done. I’m doing it wrong. Huh.
What i should do is just wholesale repost other things, as frequently as possible.

Favorite Motif: Steak With Greens
I think one of the best things you can make with steak is to sautee some greens with it. You almost don’t need anything else, just the steak and a huge pile of greens. Arugula works really well, or you can mound some just on top of the hot hot steak so it can wilt a little bit, and break off a few nuggets of parm.reg or even gorgonzola with it.
Putting steak along side or in a salad is also very good! Just be sure to have the right assortment of green flavors that are strong enough to stand up to your grilled steak! I suggest bitter things, radicchio, endive, curly read oak leaf, mesclun or some other kind of really dark blend.
Also, sauteed Kale with bacon, in the winter time, maybe some shallots in there too, makes an absolutely wonderful accompaniment to steak. I suggest you pan-roast it for the lovely reduction you get at the end. Dress up your kale with that!
Here’s a great looking recipe along the same lines: Balsamic Skirt Steak, Fresh Greens, Pea & White Bean Puree from Recipezaar. We really love a mashed white bean side at our house! The thing seems a bit over-complicated, but it is a whole meal, after all.
Finally, no account of green stuff and steak would be complete without mentioning the famous South American green salsa “chimchurri.” So fabulous, especially when you’re growing all the herbs out your back door!

How to Wield a Knife - The Atlantic Food Channel
Here’s a very informative article about knives. You should read it. It’s got some nice gory bits, and isn’t all that practical, but has a sense of humor, even: How to Wield a Knife - The Atlantic Food Channel.
No matter how much care you take, if you spend lots of time cutting meat you will cut yourself severely at some time or another. Often you will do so just when your first aid kit has hit bottom. No matter! If you have paper towels and plastic wrap handy, you have all the necessary first aid to get you to a hospital, or, less desirable, to the end of your shift. Simply wash the cut to remove any parts that don’t belong to you and then wrap quickly with paper towels and plastic wrap, tightly if the cut is bad and you’re on the way to the hospital, and less snug to make it through your shift without your injured extremity falling asleep.
Now off we go to watch some youtubes about using a sharpening steel!
