When is Too Much a Bad Thing?

My birthday was last weekend, and all my friends, family and loved ones know how much I love steak. So, naturally, everybody wanted to treat me to steak dinners in celebration of another successful trip around the sun. And being the steak lover I am, I could not say no to any of them!
But when is too much of a good thing a bad thing? I had filet mignon steak 4 nights over the past week. I'm pretty sure my iron levels are through the roof right now!
Well, in this case I would say too much of a good thing is not a bad thing, at least for me. I would eat steak every night if I could! But then I guess it wouldn't be special anymore. But I'm not complaining, and I would say that this definitely was not a bad thing!
How about you? When has too much of a good thing become a bad thing for. you?
And, anyone interested in taking me out for another steak dinner? LOL

Yeah, I’d have to win the lottery in order to afford steak every day! But that would be money well spent!
What’s your favorite birthday meal?

@moffittjc Just whatever strikes my fancy at the time. There is a European place in a town not too far from here that is pretty good. I have been there for bday a few times..think We had prime rib one year.

Wow....that's a LOT of steak. It's wonderful that people want to take you out for your birthday, it speaks a lot of what kind of person you are. But maybe you better ease up? haha that's a lot of red meat! You're going to start mooing soon! 
Steak is priced so ridiculously high, I cannot remember the last time we had any. Enjoy!

I am a carnivore through and through. I will keep eating red meat until it kills me! lol
In reality though, I probably eat chicken or pork much more than I eat red meat.
What would be your perfect birthday meal?

@moffittjc It has to homemade fried chicken and fried potatoes. I know it seems simple, but it just doesn’t get better to me. And for dessert, a nice tiramisu.

Thanks for the b-day wish! I am a tried and true steak lover. I’m not sure I could ever get tired of eating it, especially filet mignon. Maybe lesser quality steaks, but definitely not filet mignon!

@moffittjc Steak is always good. I love open face roast beef, homemade chicken and dumplings and pizza too

I know, right! Too bad I don’t have 365 friends and family members who can treat me to steak every night!

I wouldn’t mind eating steak many days in one week. I had lamb shoulder chops four days in a row this week. Each chop was big so one a day. They were pasture raised and I didn’t want to freeze any of them.

Wow, that sounds really good! It’s been a long time since I had a lamb meal of any type.

@moffittjc I love lamb! And these shoulder or loin chops don’t take long to cook.

You need the protein and vitamins in steak. You can lay low on eating it for a while and balance things out.
And I'll be right over to take you out for another one. Hope you had a great birthday!

Pretty and I have steak about once a month lately... We buy a family pack of steaks (Usually three of them in a pack.) and I freeze them until one of us says steak sounds good tomorrow night. Then I'll thaw a couple of them and make them the next evening with some type of potatoes, onions and homemade rolls. (We have half a dozen New York Strip steaks in the freezer right now if you feel like coming over for dinner with us.

Happy Birthday I mean steak days. I have to say that looks delicious but sadly I can't eat it like l did before so it is wasted on me. I have to have child portions of everything something not quite so filling!

I’d die if I had to eat child size portions. Either that or I’d eat 50 meals a day!

A very happy belated birthday to you. How lovely that your friends treated you to so many steaks. We stayed at a hotel once for a conference and breakast was provided so I was having smoked salmon. After a few days it didn't seem as tempting as at the beginning.

4 times ….you are a lucky boy ….
Happy Birthday by the way…..
Yes, you are right , some things are special and if you have them all the time they are not special anymore ….maybe leave the steaks for a few weeks ….

Too much for me is when I eat a few sandwiches throughout the day.
