This collection is much heavier on FLESH than usual, which I think is a subconscious drive because the fasting (and furious - Catholic humor) period of Lent begins next week. Last year we went meat-free for all forty days and I see no reason why we can’t dabble in that strange practice of vegetarianism one more time. We literally discovered entire categories of foodstuff that we’d never known about (tempeh?? seitan?! VEGETABLES?!).

It was a very fun process to go through together, but I haven’t gotten complete confirmation from Jon that he’s on board again. Considering I prepare a majority of our homebased meals (BECAUSE I LIKE TO), I would hope that my veggie vote counts for a bit more than 50% of the final decision. :)

I’m willing to compromise if that’s what it takes, especially looking back at these photos, which make it totes obvi why it would be a difficult walk away from such tasty tissues, I mean food, for a few weeks. Jon just makes a damn good meal. He’s a fabulous asset, and I enjoy complementing such proteinfests with crafty salads ‘n’ sides.

If I write one more RachelRayFanClub statement, I just might barf. Stopping now. Enjoy the foodage!
