A little Valentine Day history. It started in Rome. Italians love this special day. There is a little town in Oklahoma: Krebs. Krebs has a world class Italian market which just happens to also carry some great beef jerky made by the country star Reba McIntire.

Reba was due to make a delivery to the store before that special day, but when she neared the location, it was flooded due to a recent downpour. She called Mario and told him her dilemma. He responded that he and his mother had to go by row boat to get to the store that day, so he told Reba to meet him at the highway.

Mom and Mario soon arrived in the little boat and Mario yelled to Reba, "Just throw me the jerky and I will catch it. Reba gave her jerky the best toss she could muster. Mario caught it and took a deep, loving sniff. "Ah Reba jerky. Row Ma. "
