Best Steak Ever!

Ok. So I never have been a huge beef lover. Growing up, when my mom would ask us if we would rather have chicken or beef, the anwer would always be chicken. But in the past few years I seem to enjoy it more. Maybe it is because my husband is such a huge steak fan, or maybe it is because for the first couple of years that I lived on my own, my protein intake consisted of milk on the cereal I ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or the occasional scrambled egg. But, last night my sister-in-law took us to Spencer's Stake House for Chris's birthday. It is located in the Hyatt in down town Salt Lake. The waiter comes out and gives us this big long spill of how the meat is prepared, how long it ages, how the cow's are only corn fed, and a whole bunch of other stuff to make it sound like it came from the cow elite. So we ordered our pricey steaks and sides. When it came out, it was just on a plate and didn't look like anything super special. But then I took that first bite and wow! It was cooked perfectly (medium well) and the most tender and juicy piece of meat I have ever tasted. I couldn't believe it. I am still thinking about it a day later. They said they don't do any advertising that all their business is word of mouth. Well, I can see why business is good because here I am on my blog talking about the most delicious steak I have ever had!

New Blog

So I am on here to try out this blogging thing since everybody's doing it. My sister has an amazing blog because 1. She is an amazing writer and 2. She does crazy things like ride her bike 350 miles in the snow, and 3. She lives in Alaska which has to be one of the prettiest places on earth. I firmly believe that it would be more populated if it wasn't so cold most of the time. And the whole darkness most of the time doesn't help either. I would consider living there but I hate cold. I only have a newer appreciation for it since I started snowboarding a few years ago. But it is definitely a place everyone should visit at least once in their life.

But, I just decided to try this out. Maybe my family will be better updated on the events in my life, and my friends too!
