The Proposition

Sometimes a single statement made in passing can have a great effect. An impact far greater than the speaker ever intended, or probably even considered possible. This blog is proof of that. On the twenty fourth of September A buddy confronted me with a serious question. Could I help out a friend of his and house her for the weekend? Words were exchanged and i acceded, after all, it was the right thing to do. So I prep the house, clean it and we spend most of the weekend together, just talking. We meshed pretty well except for one thing. She was a vegetarian. Now I know what you're thinking, and that's not why i started this grand experiment. Well at least not all of why I did it. In truth it has most to do with pride and a simple statement. "It's disgusting that you can't cook without relying on meat."

As a cook and as a person I'm embarking on a grand journey. I'd love for all of you reading this blog to join me on it as well. Lets see what it's like to go half a year without any meat. That's a drastic change for a lot of you and so i don't expect any of you to actually do it, but I would like to have you follow me on my journey and see if maybe this isn't a way of life suitable for you.
