Crash Landing

OK…I’m 13 days into my no meat or fish deal. I’m not going “all hippy” on you…I just wanted to see if I could do it, and how I would feel. I do feel different, not good or bad, but I can tell a difference. It’s just been 13 days, but I do feel different. Weird…I can feel the change in my body…I don’t know how to describe it…I guess I feel lighter.

Last night, me and the Juju Woman fired up these…over charcoal, with a hit of dogwood.

Grilled Eggplant (Aubergine) with mozzarella, fresh Basil from our garden, a homemade tomato paste, fresh German Johnson tomatoes, and the secret Juju Woman sauce. The secret Juju Woman sauce kicks ass…I swear to The Maker it does. I swear it does.

The one on the right crashed…it was a test drive, crashed on landing, but is was still good. We ate the test crash drive first.

Seriously, my goal is to eat nothing but vegetables for a month…gotta do some bread and wine though.

    I’m talking boner good…the recipe is going in the book. These can be modified…already thinking about release 2.0.

    I would eat everything on the plate if left to my own evil devices. Damn, that do look good — though, I confess, I am not a fan of tomatoes. I’d probably pick those off, then eat everything else. It looks fantastic.

    They look wonderful! I’ll be right over. Heh.

    I couldn’t successfully do a vegetarian diet because I mostly dislike beans. Since beans in various combos are how vegetarians get their protein, that would be a big problem for me. Oh well. Guess I’ll stick with meat.

    Glad to hear you’re having fun with this. It’s good to mix things up once in a while.

      Come on over…no beans.

      I’m just doing this for the hell of it…experiment, I do feel different, but I really do miss my Juju Girl’s grill concoctions. Having a live-in grill girl is cool. She’s doing it too.

      You know, I don’t think I could be a successful vegetarian either. I’m gonna be a 30 day vegetarian just so I know what it’s like. I’m almost halfway.

        At the very least you’ll have some fun veggie recipes to add to your meat dishes when you finish. ;-)

        Now I’m off to make Irish Bangers for dinner. I’d love to have some of the above eggplant sandwiches to go with it. But I’ll just go with salad today. LOL.

          Teresa…don’t tease me like that…talking about Bangers and such. I love Irish Bangers. Are you trying to make me jump off the wagon?
