My stepmother, Wendy, is the most fabulous cook. She coordinates and executes exquisitely delicious and balanced meals, all without looking at cookbooks! She does this on top of a professorship at a university that keeps her insanely busy. I am in awe.
Since my father and stepmother live in Idaho and I in Calgary, I rarely get to partake of her renowned "Wendy meals." Whenever I visit, I've taken great pleasure in savoring her repasts. By "savoring" I mean "inhaling at a barely polite pace." Well, I am now visiting. As a result, I had an internal debate that would rival Parliament.
Cheater Me: Oh. My. Gosh. We're having Wendy's meatloaf tonight. *drool*Veg-o Me: But I don't eat meat. (purposely ignoring recent indiscretion)Cheater Me: Did you not hear me just say meatloaf???Veg-o Me: Oh, dear. Must. Ignore. Pavlovian. Response. *sounds of internal struggling*Cheater Me: Oh, yeah. Mouthwatering goodness.Veg-o Me: Doesn't matter. I don't eat meat anymore.Cheater Me: You're basically on holiday here. Surely you don't have to abide your vegetarian standards while on vacation...Veg-o Me: This is a lifestyle!Cheater Me: You've forced me to bring up your recent indiscretion.
Veg-o Me: Nooooooooooooooo!

Good for you! If you did partake of the coveted meatloaf, you probably would have been sitting in the bathroom for two days!
Have fun visiting your family and partaking in Wendy meals. :)
I totally intellectually am a vegetarian. As a weak human, however, I salivate upon hearing that stupid jingle "Chili's Baby Back Ribs! I want my babybackbabybackbabyback ribs!"
Sigh. One day I will be a full on veggie. Today, for example, I had the veggie pizza and it was awesome. Come to think of it I could totally be a vegetarian if my only meal was yummy veggie pizza. Of course I would end up 500pounds!
why do you even want to be a veg-e-go????
Three reasons:
1) Word of Wisdom
2) it's healthier
3) 'cuz it's my latest thing
Love you, too, Beck!
