The Perfect Valentine's Day Gift...A Box of Meat

Yesterday I got the first half of my Valentine's Day gift.  The night before my Valentine told me I had to be at the house in the morning because a package was coming.  You can't get nothing past me so I had to ask what it was..."It's your Valentine's Day gift...well half of it".  Hmm...I had no idea what it could be.


So the next morning this package from Lobel's of New York was sitting at the front door.  Lobel's is an upscale butcher shop in New York.  It's not like the meat you get at Winn-Dixie. 


So I open it up.  Inside the box there were: 2 USDA Prime Boneless Strip Steaks, 2 Bacon-Wrapped Wagyu Tenderloin Steaks, 1 10 oz Kurobuta Pork Tenderloin, and 1 lb Chicken Italian Sausage.

I think this is perfect gift for any food lover, but its definitely not cheap.  The Wagyu Beef steaks alone were $50 a piece.  http://www.lobels.com/

I can't wait to start cooking and for the other half of my Valentine's Day gift.

Saw ur blog on HHM....

I'll be delighted to have this box of meat. Maybe im kinda different from the other ladies. Instead of asking my hubby to shop for clothes, shoes, and bags for me, whenever he gets out of the country, I always ask for spices, cheeses, and mixed.... I enjoy shopping for food more than anything... lol....

Mhel,
We would get along just fine...I spend all my free time in the grocery store.

Ann,
I know it was so neat. I so didn't expect a gift like this.

Sook,
I know it was exactly what I wanted.

Bob,
The bigger the better right?

Chef E,
