Steak and BJ day

236 replies

Bitchycocktailwaitress · 14/03/2017 14:12

So, was watching a cooking show last night that really put me in the mood for a nice rare steak. Told DH I wanted to pick up some big rib-eyes at the supermarket with him.

He told me he would be embarrassed as it is apparently steak and BJ day today (valentines for men) and we will look like twats if we go into Tesco to buy steak today.

We have compromised by agreeing to use the self service till.

Is he BU? I am going to serve with crab with home made mayo and crusty bread as a starter, and baked potatoes with Philly and crispy bacon, and a green salad as a side.

Happy Birthday, Mini CakeFlowersStar.

Yeah, someone somewhere decided that the hearts and flowers of Valentines day was unduly weighted towards women's tastes and that men deserved a day in return, somehow it gained social media traction. It's a huge pile of horseshit like.

"He sounds like a twat, regardless"

"How rude are you?! That's her husband you're talking about and he's actually done nothing wrong."

Thank you. Firstly we were just having a laugh. Secondly he thinks the concept is misogynistic crap. Like most men he is perfectly capable of asking for a BJ.

We don't do Valentine's Day either (no offence intended).

I've got a nice rump steak at home waiting for me. DH can sort himself out, in more ways than one Grin

Today 14:46 badtime

"But surely until some prick came up with this, Valentine's Day was unisex (like, both partners were supposed to be all romantic and give presents)?

That is actually my main issue with this 'steak & blow job' nonsense - it basically suggests that men don't like romance and nice gifts and women don't like sex or meat."

It's Pi day here. Although, if DH got a steak, bj AND pie all in one day, he'd think he'd died and gone to Heaven. Poor love.

DevelopingDetritus · 14/03/2017 15:13

I must be getting old. It's just crude and unnecessary. Yuk.

MrsCobain · 14/03/2017 15:14

I don't know why he's a twat for even knowing about it. I've seen 6 different posts about it on fb already so it's hardly the worlds most dirty alternative secret.

I would think twice about popping a steak in to a shopping trolley today. Mostly because I wouldn't want to be giving dh the wrong idea. Grin

MrsCobain · 14/03/2017 15:15

Christ on a bike, some of you have a stick so far up your bottoms it must be poking out of the top of your heads.

MrsCobain · 14/03/2017 15:17

It's racist Tuesday here. 🌮 👅

MrsCobain · 14/03/2017 15:18

Omg!!! TACO! Taco Tuesday. Blush

Patchouli666 · 14/03/2017 15:19

My hubby is in morocco - so it's Caesar salad for me with lots of anchovies as an extra which he hates!

Patchouli666 · 14/03/2017 15:21

What's in your racist tacos?MrsC?

Flyinggeese · 14/03/2017 15:21

Missing the main point completely but your dinner menu for tonight sounds lovely OP, especially the starter.

What's for afters? Nudge nudge, wink wink? (JOKING).

Heh every year this thread crops up. Always makes me chuckle all the gasps of horror Grin

Must say your tea sounds bloody lush the OP. Enjoy.

MrsWembley · 14/03/2017 15:24

GrinGrinMrsC!

Salmon here, but thanks for the heads up.

Even though my DP doesn't do social media, no doubt he'll have heard about it somewhere. He used to mention this years ago when it used to do the rounds but hasn't for a while. So if it comes up (fnar fnar) I will now have a chance to prepare a witty response...

MySordidCakeSecret · 14/03/2017 15:24

"Steak and bj day" makes me sick. Utter crap.

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 14/03/2017 15:25

Grin Mrs Cobain Ossum autocorrect fail there!

MrsCobain · 14/03/2017 15:26

BlushBlush Maybe put a little trump flag in it. (Not that I have one!!!)

Just messaged dh that it's steak and blowjob day. Left it a minute then text that we're having lentil soup for tea. 😂

TheMysteriousJackelope · 14/03/2017 15:26

It's fava beans and a nice chianti day here, but then we make our tacos from racists.

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 14/03/2017 15:27

We had steak on VDay. I like steak. Don't other women like steak? DH's 'dream' meal would be chicken pie, btw. Unless there's wagyu.

Sylvannas · 14/03/2017 15:30

Why are people getting upset by OP'S DH? We love steak and blow job day in our house. My gorgeous hubby cooks me a steak and...well the rest depends on how well cooked the steak is Wink

If anyone gives me a dodgy look buying steak I just wink at them and go on my merry way.

We don't celebrate valentines day and March 14th is our equivalent of that. Flowers and gifts are no longer over priced and you get a day to celebrate each other

It's a win win situation as far as I'm concerned

Biscusting · 14/03/2017 15:31

When's women's valentines? Leave me a garbage bag full of quavers, gin and juice. I expect a back rub and no chat.
