Yum Steak-Umms
Posted By Kristabella on May 10, 2010
This title doesn’t really have anything to do with this post. Except I had Steak-umms for dinner. And it was Steak-YUMMS!
We ate them a lot growing up. The only thing I really remembered is that they burnt my mom’s hands with the splattering grease and that they made the house smell Steak-ummly delicious! But it has been about 20 years since I’ve had them. And they are still as good as I remember! And look, there is only one ingredient – BEEF! Who cares what part of the cow it is from! Steak-YUMMY!
In other news, I only posted one time last week because Ali and her family gave me an ear infection. She’ll try to tell you that she didn’t since no one else had an ear infection, but where the hell else would I have picked it up? I haven’t had an ear infection since I was like 2. They are no walk in the park, let me tell you. They are kind of a pain, like REALLY a pain. OUCH! At least it explained why I was feeling so run down. I must have been fighting something.
Now I either have allergies or a cold. But since they are pretty similar symptoms, I just don’t know. I’ve never had allergies before, so I’m not sure what they feel like. But I know you don’t feel as tired and run down. So since I slept for 14 hours Sunday night, I’m thinking it is probably a virus.
WHAT?!? 14 hours you ask? Why yes! I spent most of the day sleeping on Sunday. And then I took a four-hour nap at 5 PM, which was not the smartest move. And I could have slept straight through until morning, but I needed to take my antibiotics. So I got up and did some things around the house and then went to bed at 10:30. And I was CONVINCED I would be up in the middle of the night, and was prepared to regale all of you with my middle-of-the-night blogging tales. But I needed the rest because I slept until the alarm woke me up at 7:30 AM. Not knowing what day it was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So Saturday was my nephew’s First Communion. And Noah is also my Godson, so it was a big day for Auntie/Godmother. (I know! Someone made me a Godmother! The girl who mocks people in church!)
Anyway, it was pretty neat to see. I don’t actually remember my Communion, which was the last one I went to, so it was kind of cool to watch all these kids experience it.
On the way over to the church, Noah exclaimed “I can’t wait to eat the Eucharist!” And I was all “don’t get your hopes up too high, kid.” (See, Godmotherly duties right there.) And then he was all “I’m starving!”
After he received his first communion his response was what I would imagine most kids reactions are: “That bread was kinda stale.”
Skyler was a riot during church. She did not help my lack of attention span. She was giggling and then told us “I’m SLAPHAPPY!” And that she couldn’t “stop laughing!” Which only made my brother and me giggle more. Like I need anymore of a distraction at church besides judging people’s clothing choices.
But at least I got a photo of Noah, Skyler and me where we are all showered and dressed up!
I was definitely the hottest Godmother there!

And finally, I just remembered this, so I thought I would share.
My friend Melissa and I were talking on Saturday night about transgender people. It came up because there was a chick on the Real World who used to be a man and Chaz Bono was recently in the news after having his/her surgery.
Melissa made some comment about how Chaz didn’t want to talk about the actual surgery. Here is how that conversation went:
Melissa: “you talk about everything else, but then when it comes to the actual details…”
Me: “then you clam up!”
Melissa: “HAHAHAHA! CLAM!”
And then we laughed for like 20 minutes. And then later in the night, someone said clam and we started laughing again! HA!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now I’m off to kill my sickness with Nyquil and get lots of rest. Because tomorrow night I get to have dinner and drinks with my friend Kristina, who is in town, and then I get to see Ali, who is in town for work! YAY!

I had to sign in/register again to comment since my work computer is new. The things i do for you. J/K
I vaguely remember cooking Steak Umms in a thin aluminum pan that started on fire. Since you need the whole box to make a couple sandwiches, it was like on the 100th “load” I was cooking but I swear this happened. Anyhow, Gram & I had them a couple months ago and YUMMMMMM!!!!!
“Borrowed” the pic of you & the kids since you guys took it when I was already in church so I have no picture of hot godmother from Sat.
I have no idea what Steak Umms are. Apparently some kind of meat product?
Colds and allergies do feel similar. I actually do get tired and run down when it’s allergy season. I’m not sure what the difference is. I guess my allergies sometimes make my eyes itch, and I tend to feel colds more in my ears than I do allergies. I don’t know. I guess if it goes on for a long time, then it’s allergies.
Great picture, Aunt K!

I hope that you feel better soon. Also, I have never heard of Steak Umms before! Of course it could be that around these here Canadian parts our food selection is sometimes quite lacking compared to the bountiful ready-to-eat deliciousness that exists just south of the border!
Cute pic of you and the little ones.
LOVE the pic of you and the little ones!
I remember my First Communion (yes, even though it was THATLONGAGO….) – – it’s a pretty special time for a kid. And yes, the bread IS stale…. 🙂
Hope you get over your cold/allergies/whatever SOON – – it’s going to be pretty outside soon, and you want to be able to enjoy it!

.-= Alice´s last blog ..so, this just happened… =-.
I’ve never had a steak-umm. Or even heard of them. Now I’m going to have to look for them at the store.
.-= regan´s last blog ..so, uh, hi texas. =-.
OMG. Where did you find Steakums? Looked all over the grocery store looking for them the other day to no avail. Am craving them even more now. Love that meaty goodness. 😉
Cute pic of you guys! Funny that he was so excited to eat the Eucharist…
One of my best friends is a transgender woman and often jokes about her journey towards finishing her surgeries. She claims it’s not fair that I got my girly parts for free…

Two things:
1. I’ve never had Steak Umms. I must remedy this.
2. That is not the dress you said you were going to wear.
Um, those Steak Umms things, which I had to google, are ALL KINDS OF WRONG!

I’ve never had a steak-umm. For some reason I thought they were some kind of potato product.
My favorite part is how they wrote “beef” in caps, as if to say “No, really, it’s BEEF, y’all!”

Some friends and I had a girls’ night this past weekend and we were laughing so hard about many (mostly) inappropriate things and then! that same night we watched SNL, and I swear to Steak-Umms that they referenced nearly EVERY SINGLE THING we were talking and laughing about earlier. SNL ESP!
