Early Christmas From Omaha!

That is correct!  We were greeted today with a Styrofoam container holding the world famous Omaha Steaks!   We are VERY excited!   Not entirely about the meat… BUT the DRY ICE!  

Whenever I’m in the presents of Dry Ice,  I revert back to my child hood and just have to play with it.  I mean,  from purely an academic  perception,  The chemical properties that allow we humans to create such a substance is AWESOME!. 

So, other than chilling the steaks,  what purpose could dry ice serve to entertain?   Why,  You put it in water and create fog in your sink!   DUH! 

Am I that simple that I can be amused so easily?   Well, DUH!  

I’m not the only one either,   Cheryl was quite amazed.  It’s not everyday that she can be impressed with anything I do.   I could not believe  she had a childhood where she was not yelled at by the pastor for throwing large chunks of Dry Ice in the creek behind the church during the church picnic.  I seriously thought EVERY child had done that at least several times in their life.  Perhaps it was an experience that was unique to us Lutherans.

Anyway,  We received the steaks from Cheryl's brother.   I guess that means we will have to do better than Baby Swiss next year.  Actually the Baby Swiss is very good!  So much so that we had to order more for ourselves!   And now with the steaks, ( and hotdogs and burgers) I can’t wait to have some great Swiss and meat combinations.   MMMmmmm Goood!
