It still smells wonderful and the flavor is a clear and fond memory. But when I take a bite the "mmmmm" is quickly squelched by "gee, this is dead."
Ick. I never get that with fish - I pretty much always enjoy fish, even when it's sitting there with its sad dead eyes, looking completely like a fish. Prawns & their relations I love so long as I don't think of them as swimming cockroaches. Flesh and fowl is more variable - if it is pleasingly anonymous & unprocessed (like slices of chicken breast meat or pieces of steak), I can enjoy it in a 'gee, this isn't a slice of corpse - pass the gravy!' kind of way. But skin, bone, gristle etc make that increasingly tricky.
...man, though, I
so
need to cut out the carbs again. I feel and am so much healthier when I don't eat this crap.
Mission for the summer: eat healthier, exercise more, write a book. In no particular order.
I had antelope for dinner on Saturday. I planned to have rainbow trout, but the antelope steak with madeira sauce on celeriac polenta was just too tempting. And man oh man was it good!
They said it was organically farm-raised, but the DH kept telling me it was probably discarded from one of those big-game-hunter ranches. He's so helpful. He's also fairly consistent with the "shrimp are swimming cockroaches" thing.
I just hit www.vegieworld.com and am trying one of theirs.
That company has been getting into trouble lately for having unlabeled animal products in their foods. Everything that I've heard specifically about them has been eggs and milk in things labeled vegan, but there have been reports from Taiwan (and I think from China) of stuff made and sold there that was labeled vegetarian and actually contained meat.
Tofu is probably OK, but I'm skeptical of the fake meats.

It reminds me of mine, too. Don't think I've got pictures up anymore, though.
You think if we all just showed up at the Edison one night we could effectively take it over? Flash mob wedding!
A flash mob wedding would be awesome.
I planned to have rainbow trout
My sister, when pregnant, told everyone she was going to name the baby Rainbow Trout, so I tend to read that as a proper name, now.
My HR department is just getting around to doing the paperwork for my leave. I've been out 6 weeks already, and they've known I was going on leave since January. If this somehow messes up my paycheck, someone in that office will have to die.
