FI's relatives just sent us 10 lbs of steak for Christmas. I'm a vegetarian.

It's the thought that counts, right? :)

  • You should make a dress out of it and wear it to Christmas dinner at the ILs.
  • It's apparent the gift wasn't for you, maybe next year they'll throw in a sack of potatoes for you when they send FI a 10 pounds of pork chops.
  • It made me laugh, since it was actually addressed to me on the package (it said FI's name as well on the card inside). There were some stuffed baked potatoes, which excited me, before I saw that they included bacon.

    We'll just have some friends over who actually know how to cook steak!

  • In response to "It's the thought that counts, rlight?" I will quote Jim Gaffigan in the ebay Christmas commercials:

    "THINK HARDER."

    Dear Fishy,

    I'm stoopid. You're right.

    Dear Cew,

    Three letter names easily confuse me, and I forgot to plug my brain in today. Bec IS awesome but so are YOU!

    Love,
    Rach

  • Yes, and I can send some pecans!

  • Perfect trade off! Customs better not rip me off and steal my thoughtful gift of steaks from poli. Theyre always ripping me off.
  • Dear People in this Thread,

    Fishy is a 5 letter word, but we could shorten it to Fis so I can have three letters, too! But then it'd be confused for Giz, I'm afraid, and that just won't work.

    Goddammit.

    Love,
    Fis                          hy.

    I find this funny because I also don't know how to cook meat. I'm sure I'd burn it or it would be raw inside and I wouldn't know.

  • Ish would be awesome. I could be down with that.

    Alix told me how to cook steak once. She made it sound so easy... although somehow I doubt that it is.

  • Poli - freeze it and have a BBQ come good weather (Does meat keep that long?). Tell your friends, "We'll bring the meet! You bring everything else!" Then they'll be all, "WTF?" But you'll put it to good use!

  • In a good, cold deep freeze, it will keep 3 - 6 months, if packaged correctly.  More than 6 months and you should have had a BBQ a month ago.  :)

  • Mmmmm steak. Steak isnt hard at all to cook fische!! Let the red meat set you free.
  • I would like some sent to FL please.
  • Ha msmerymac, that would throw them for a loop!
  • You should wear a fur coat with your meat dress. That would really throw them off.
