First Eats

A little behind already in the blogging, but well under way in the eating. I was hoping to get half of this posted yesterday but I could not get to a computer.


Meal #1 on Wednesday evening was a classic roasted chicken with mash potatoes, asparagus, and caramelized onions prepared by my girlfriend Bonnie (who is an amazing cook, luckily, since I can't cook to save my life). It was delicious, truly satisfying. Immediately I noticed that it did not seem that weird to be eating meat again. I guess four years isn't that long in the grand scheme of things. The thing you miss without meat is the texture. A warm, salty vegetarian dish can be made just as tasty as meat, but you can not fake that texture. I could see how people who are simply turned off by the texture of meat could be happily vegetarian for their entire lives. I am not sure I am one of those people.


Meal #2 was breakfast on Thursday. We had ham and eggs with a Pillsbury biscuit. The biscuits were butter tastin'!

The ham was killer. I have missed ham. So salty and warm, with that really good texture. Breakfast is also my favorite meal. Even though I usually eat it around noon.


Meal #3 was leftover chicken in the form of chicken and noodles. I think this one could be just as good as a vegetarian dish, but it is a good way to use up the leftovers. The photo really does it poor justice. I may need to bring out the big camera to get some appetizing pictures. The point and shoot is not cutting it.


Meal #4 this morning was a fried egg sandwich with ham and cheese. I love sandwiches as much as breakfast. This one might be my favorite so far.

Next up: ease may way into some red meat!
