Birthday Cake or Birthday Steak?

I was at a birthday celebration Sunday and as the candles were blown out, I thought – where did the origin of having a cake for a birthday come from? And, why is it always a birthday cake? Why can’t you have something different for a birthday celebration?

I think it’s time to mix it up.

Therefore, it’s time to replace the traditional birthday cake with a birthday steak!!!

You could put candles in the steak and blow it out. Obviously, you can’t just share one piece of steak, so more are needed. People could share the steak and comment on it "boy that's a good steak, where did you get it at?" Instead of talking about bakery's, you could talk about meat markets. 'I got it from John the butcher, he gave us a great deal."

The question is, what do you pair with the steak? It may sound good, but “steak and ice cream” may not be the best combination. Would it be another item, such as say, potato? Or, shrimp? Or, a veggie? Or maybe people want steak and ice cream, and they can use A-1 steak sauce as the topping, similar to chocolate syrup with cake and ice cream? Give that a try sometime and see how it works for yah!

And imagine if the invites go out.

What: Birthday party
For: Little Johnny
When: July 28
What to Expect: Games, prizes, swimming and steak and ice cream!

WHOA! You can bet the local moms club would be calling about that.

Traditions are good, but sometimes, they need to be refreshed. That’s why I recommend replacing the traditional birthday cake with the birthday steak!

Eat on!!!!!!!!!
