I'm going to try to switch to a mostly vegetarian/pescetarian diet from now on. ( (the rest is a rant / disgusting story. read at your own risk. seriously. and definitely don't read this if you're eating.) )

Join the team! 10 years(ish) and counting without beef, pork or other random creatures. I'm still not sure exactly when I stopped.

It's not that difficult, its about the balancing and figuring out how to get what you need.

Sorry you had to go through such a horrid experience.

Thanks for the encouragement! I feel really good about this decision and the opportunity it presents to eat more healthily. If you have any favorite recipes, let me know!

I KNOW!! I wish I meant centimeters but no, it was inches. This thing was ENORMOUS. David described it as some sort of primordial dinosaur worm. GROSS!! I haven't taken it back yet -- I just wrapped it back up and put it in a grocery bag in the freezer (I was just going to throw it away, but realized it was a week away from garbage night and I did NOT want that thing sitting out in the trash for that long.) Normally I would take it back, but I just don't want to have anything more to do with it, you know? Guh. I dunno - I have until Thursday (garbage day!) to decide, I guess ( ... )

I know what you mean about just not wanting to have anything else to do with it. Because if you take it back you'll actually have to talk about it. On the other hand, they sold you meat with a giant dinosaur worm in it! That would make me so mad. I think you should take it back and demand like a gift card to there. Something more than just getting the price of the chicken back. I mean, that is just unacceptable. Gross.

I'm glad the vegetarian thing is working out well so far!! :) When you come home in March you should totally cook for me. Hehehe, ok, maybe not. I don't want to put you to work. But eventually we'll have to think up fun veggie recipes. I'd like to eat more like that too. And I hear you on the Indian sauces! Yum!

Oh, and in terms of your mom cooking - you should tell her about the chicken maggot and see if it's enough for HER to change her cooking habits too...

Also, did you take it back to the store and get your money back and throw the worm demon in their faces?? I mean, really, wtf? They should have to pay for your therapy bills after this one.

I wanted to throw up, or die, or throw up and then die.

I think I would have had the same reaction.
