This summer has been one of the most hectic for me in recent history.  My husband has been working two jobs and I've been busy caring for our daughter during the day, then running a blog and two small businesses at night.  Whew!  :whew: To say that I need a terrific evening out with no worries, just relaxation and fun, is a definite understatement.

That's why I'm thrilled to have the chance to let my hair down and go out with my husband for an unforgettable night at Ruth's Chris Steak House!  Ruth's Chris is the place that showed the world how great a steak can be.  Their steaks are carefully selected and aged for tenderness, then cut thick to ensure juiciness.  Seared to perfection at 1800 degrees and seasoned simply with salt, black pepper and a touch of parsley, because a steak like this needs nothing else.

On Thursday, August 23rd, Ruth's Chris Steak House will be pairing with Wine Enthusiast magazine to bring you a phenomenal night of 90+ rated wines and great food.  Treat your senses to a tasting of some of the world's finest wines carefully selected by the editors of Wine Enthusiast magazine.  Attendees will get to sample five amazing wines, as well as delight in a 5-course meal that includes the following:
