I think you know by now that I tend to spout my opinions rather loudly sometimes. Well this time my rantings about choosing a nice steak paid off, and you could be the beneficiary!
You can bet that the friendly folks at Omaha Steaks know something about choosing a nice steak and I guess they liked what I had to say on the matter too. Because they want to go one step further in helping you choose a nice steak, they want to give you $50 worth of free steak. Now that is indeed what I call nice steak!
They have provided me with a coupon for $50 of free meat. I get to give this coupon away to any one of the readers here at SippitySup. I get to design any sort of contest I like too.
I could ask each one of you to send me a baby picture of yourself, which I could then publish on SippitySup with lots of embarrassing comments attached. Or if I wanted to I could make you wear all pink for an entire week and then choose the person who was the pinkiest to receive the free steak. That would be a good one, huh?
But instead I am going to make it easy. If you want to win the free steak all you have to do is become follower of @Omaha_steaks on Twitter and Re Tweet this post, then leave me a comment letting me know that you have done both of those things! Make sure you fill out the email address section on your comment so that I can get in touch with the winner. I have even made the Re Tweeting easy. There is a Re Tweet button at the top of this post, but you can go to Twitter and Re Tweet manually if you prefer. Just make sure your Tweet has both @SippitySup and #OmahaHoliday in the text. One entry per person. Deadline Thursday, December 17 Midnight Pacific Time.
To choose a winner I will write the names of each entrant on a slip of paper and have a good old-fashioned random drawing. I will videotape this drawing and post the video here on Friday December 18! Then each and every one of us will know who the lucky winner is!
I know it’s not as exciting as a pogo stick endurance contest, but I think it will be fun anyway.
SERIOUS FUN FOOD

Greg–i just found your contest–can i do it this quickly?! You should have stalked me to jump in after me stalking you for PEEPS. haha
I’ll be entering, as well. Unfortunately, our tomato season is done, and it’ll be 8 more months before we see good, fresh ones again. So I’m relegated to canned.
I hope I can get something worth sending in done this weekend Greg, this sounds fun!
and I can’t wait to see it! GREG
I would love to have my own tomato garden. Fresh tomatoes on the yard or at least a potted plant. Yum!
Sounds like a cool contest. I’ll try my best to enter. =)
This post came at just the right time for me, my tomato plants are growing like crazy! This is my first year of planting a vegetable garden and it is so exciting. The weather has finally warmed up and today my tomato plants are going in the garden. I planted them from seed and I can’t believe they actual grew. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Have fun with your contest!
Like Tangled Noodle, I’m better at following/adapting recipes than getting creative with whatever ingredients I happen to have on hand. (I hope this will change one day soon.) This is an awesome contest you’re helping out with, and these are awesome tips Scott’s shared. I’d love to be able to attend this show and visit your booth. It sounds like a blast — have fun!
Oh man! I’ve got some great campari tomatoes at work to play with for this- hope I can come up with something in time!
I know you can…GREG
thanks for all the tips and the great contest. You’ll be getting my entry for sure 😉
We’ll soon be able to put all this great information to use! I so want to enter this contest although creating original recipes is not a strong suit (I’m great with ‘adapting’ — read: substituting ingredients because I’m too cheap or lazy to get the correct items). But why not try? Perhaps I’ll surprise myself!
because I couldn’t find a comment link on that post…This salad sounds awesome! Couldn’t agree more about using the beet greens. Marinating sounds like such a good idea, can’t wait to pick up some lovely golden beets soon 🙂
Michelle, I fixed the broken comment link on the Beets salad recipe! I hope you enjoy it GREG
The wheels are turning! Something else to obsess about this week!!!! I need to come up for a menu for a ladies luncheon this week, it will definately include tomatoes. Thanks for a very creative contest.
This is a fantastic contest!
