Lindsey LOVES steak. Seriously loves it. When she was barely over a year old, she would nibble on tidbits of our steaks (prepared medium rare, mind you), and would signal for more.
For the last 6 months or more every time we have steak, whichever parent is responsible for "sharing" with Lindsey always ended up going hungry. We would both end up feeding her bits of our steaks so that we could have some to eat ourselves. It was hard to judge how much Lindsey was actually eating and since it was a "shared" situation, we always figured that we weren't sharing as much as we thought we were.
Finally, this evening Wayne bought three 8 oz steaks for the three of us. He bought them at Lund's, mind you, so they cost around $40 for the three of them.
So after the appropriate amount of time on the grill, he served three steaks of 8 oz each: two medium rare ones for Wayne and I, and a medium steak for Lindsey.
She ate all of it.
Every last bit.
There was no fat left.
I had no idea a little 3 1/2 year old's tummy could actually contain 8 oz of steak, but apparently it can. And...she wanted more, so she ate two more pieces of my steak before we finally cut her off.
She had a piece of bread to boot. We couldn't believe it, I wish I had a photo, a "before" and "after" photo of her full and then empty plate. She even ate it as quickly as Wayne!
After registering our shock, Wayne turned to her and said, "You know Lindsey, not many 3 1/2 year olds get to eat a $13 steak." She just grinned.
