To Meat Or Not To Meat?

. . . that is the question!

I saw the killer photo of this sandwich from Martha Stewart Living on Facebook an hour or so ago and of course I clicked the website link they provided.

I was treated to recipes galore – all presenting food options that don’t require meat.

I’m all gung-ho about the vegan and vegetarian lifestyle, yet I’m keeping in mind that I have a ton of upcoming festivals to attend:

Delcambre Seafood Festival
Gueydan Duck Festival
Shrimp & Petroleum Festival
Pepper Festival

And that’s just in the month of August through the first weekend in September!

I believe what I’ll have to do is a modified version of the vegan and vegetarian lifestyle; something like Vegan Before 6.

We’ll see.

Join in the Fray: To meat or not to meat? Any suggestions?

I’m blogging every day in the month of July in Blogher’s NaBloPoMo Challenge. Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment!

FDLOL! Jeff, I believe I’ll be a “flexitarian,” and see how I do with that. The “Vegan Till 6” is very easy to do during the week, and I’ll probably reserve the right to have a serving of meat on the weekends – at least until these festivals are over . . . . but then, gumbo season kicks in . . . . and then . . . . . .

I do not begrudge anyone the right to choose to NOT meat, but I for one am REALLY glad to be at the top of the food chain…

I AM home, you Git!

That’s the problem. I believe being a Vegan or Vegetarian would be a LOT easier if I was in Dallas. Too many GREAT cooks and too much WONDERFUL food down here in the Bayou.
