He Jumps On the Couch and Bullies People for Vegetables
No, this is not a story about what happens when you take MR to a party! He's actually quite well-behaved and brings his own food. Rather, this is how a woman at the party I just went to described her rabbit's behavior. Sounds like a critter after my own heart!
After my otherwise CR-stellar weekend, I had a rather un-CR friendly evening. I went to a party at the home of my friend the medical writer... you remember her, I met her in the airport at Thanksgiving? Well anyway, she was having a backyard barbeque, except that it turned out to be a cookout in the living room as it poured rain all evening. I did something I haven't done in about ten years... I ate a hamburger! I know you are dying of shock. It was okay. I figure a little extra iron can't hurt every once in awhile. There was no vegetarian option, so I figured, why not? I've been eating very lightly lately, as I've been extremely busy between work, the Kurzweil auction and the move (spent the afternoon painting, with help from mom) and when I get busy, I get less hungry. So I ate some red meat... I don't remember the last time I had beef. It was weird, but fine... not overwhelming, not nearly as good as my own food or MR's. It was a very post-vegetarian experience to eat fit in with everyone else at a cook-out. It's funny how I fit in much more easily on my CR plan than I did as a lowfat vegan. Of course, I compensate for the calories elsewhere, and will immediately be back to my solid CR diet. I don't see myself eating a hamburger any more than once every ten years.
More philosophy soon... once I get done with this first coat of primer.
