I looked up ‘tree hugger’ to find a humorous pic to entertain y’all, and look what I found!!
Anywho. Cute little guy aside, I have indeed gone tree-lovin’ loopy. I was nearly in tears again over meet the other day. Today I was in the meat aisle at Overwaitea Foods and wanted to weep over all the dead animals. Lovely. I’ve reached a whole new level of nutso.
Acceptance, so I’ve heard, is key.
I was actually in the meat aisle looking for something ‘organic’ hoping beyond all hope that it would also mention that it was an ‘ethical’ farm, or some sort of something that would indicate their animals aren’t stacked on top of each other, sprayed with pesticides, stuffed with antibiotics to prevent the gaping sores from leaking puss into their food supply. The thought of them having so little room to swoosh their tails that they get bitten to insanity by bugs, makes me sick to my stomach. Fortunately they can just cut off the beaks of birds who’ve gone cuckoo so they don’t peck themselves to death. Whew. I was worried.
Okay, to reality – we eat meat. We do. I don’t have a problem ethically or morally about the idea of meat. I only take issue with the misuse of animals. I also don’t think we should hunt down the last leopard in the world to use their skins for my shoes. But thats just me.
So, hungry yet? Drooling in fact for chicken? Yeah. Me neither.
Recipe Failure Lesson
from this week. (I had to pick only one.)
When using onions and garlic, and all those yummy vegetables, tossing with whole grain brown rice pasta, and being oh-so-very tree-hugger-ish-ish about it, use seasoning. Trust me. Seasoning is good. We like seasoning. I highly recommend Italiano Club House All in One Seasoning – yummy!!
