For Good or For Awesome II

Last night I was looking for recipes and learned of all the “evils” of having a meat-based diet and how vegetarians tend to live 5-10 years longer than you meat-eaters. I guess that’s all fine and good.

I found a recipe for some kind of vegetarian “meat” loaf, and decided to try it out. This is how most of the recipes sounded, I’m not sure why they are going so far to try to imitate meat, the thing they hate. It also took me quite a while at the store since I didn’t know where all the fake meat was as I had never looked for it before. The vegetables weren’t very expensive though, so I could get behind that.

April had already eaten, so it was just for me. The “meat”-loaf was pretty to put together, and didn’t LOOK too bad, as shown in my in-no-way-horrible-or-staged photo below:

Spoiler alert: It was disgusting.

The fates must want me going through with this vegetarian thing, since last night we found out that our freezer broke, so we had to throw out all of our frozen (now thawed) meat. Yesterday for lunch I ended up getting the Subway veggie patty sub, which turned out to be somewhat gross, but not as much as I thought. We avoided meat last night by having Brinner, so that was a welcome change. I dunno what I’ll do today though.

I forgot to weigh myself last night, too. I was too busy fighting off ants and disposing of wasted food.

In an effort to improve my health and to honor Peter Franza’s birth-month, I have decided to eliminate (or more realistically, greatly reduce) my amount of meat consumption in the month of June. This will be difficult, as animals are quite tasty, but I’m curious to see what kind of effects it does have on my diet and health, to see if a reduced-meat diet might be something worth considering for the long term. Also, April’s not really on board with this, so we’ll see how the cooking and dinners go around the house.

Lunchtime is fast approaching, and I have no idea what to get, as I usually eat a sandwich or get something out that involves meat. I am welcome to suggestions. Perhaps I will try that gross looking veggie patty sub at Subway.

Maybe I’ll weigh myself later and post that to try to track this better.

These Russian spammers are persistent and keep trying to leave bad, pointless comments.  Why doesn’t Wordpress have some kind of ReCAPTCHA validation?  I’m about a year behind in my Wordpress updating; do the new versions have some kind of validation like that?  I eagerly await any help the internet can offer me.  (Read: Patrick, what do I do?)

For some reason, my post “Another N– B—” attracts a stupid amount of spam comments from Russian addresses.  You don’t see any of them, because I have to manually mark them as spam every time one comes in.  I really wonder why that is.  It’s only that one post that ever gets anything.  Maybe they just sit around, scanning the web for “new blogs”, then when they find one shout “Da!  Another one!  Time to promote Russian product!”  Well I’m not a fan!  I’m about to start another Cold War over here.
