Picture this:
I am alone in the kitchen heading to the freezer to grab a small bowl of sherbert. I open the door and exclaim out loud "OH MY GOSH-CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM". I was so excited some one walking into the room would have thought this was the first time I had ever seen this product. The funny thing. I ate the sherbet.
I was puttering around in my closet looking for a shirt to wear. I found a nice fleece vest just hanging there. So I put it on. It fit so I thought OK I am going to wear this today. I had a turtle neck shirt it would look nice over top. It was a Big Dog's brand and a guys vest I know they tend to run big. I was thinking probably size 2 X.. When I looked at the label and it said XL. I said actually out loud. "Well this is weird. I don't wear XL clothes. This must have the wrong label size on it. Silly girl....apparently I do wear a Men's XL in some things. The level of my disbelief is what took me by surprise. What a hoot.
I realized the other day that I am drawn to meatless dishes. My husband, Jonathan asked me what I wanted to have for supper the other night. He is the chef here. I quickly replied. I would love kidney beans, black beans, corn, red and green peppers, celery and some diced tomatoes. Like a stew. He said " no meat"? with out missing a beat I say "right no meat". "Oh some cumin as a spice would be nice". It turned out wonderful. We labeled it Southwestern Stew and its now on my favorites list, I think I would be content to eat it for lunch several times a week. One day while Christmas shopping we had lunch at Longhorn. I ordered Spinach/Artichoke dip with tortilla chips as my meal. I took a moment to savor the fact that this dish made me very happy and content. When did I morph into a "kinda vegetarian".. Well I say "kinda" cause lets face it. I will always love bacon, please don't ever take that away from me. I also like eggs and cheese. It seems odd to me that I am no longer wanting meat. Perhaps its just to hard to chew and to eat it properly it takes so much longer.
It's just funny how things sneak up on me and I don't realize whats changed until it becomes like second nature. Don't pat me on the back yet........cause I do like a moose tracks ice cream cone from the cafeteria at work on the afternoons when i just need some extra calories. LOL.
Thanks for reading.
