Not for the faint of stomach

No, this doesn't happen every Thanksgiving...maybe 2 out of 3 times? And we've never had an incident where the mystery meat cause illness.

Thanksgiving

While waiting for dinner tonight...

The world according to Tevan is absolutely delightful!

Locked in my own perspective...

Once I got past my self-pity trip, I have to admit that yes she was darn cute, my pretty Sophie-bee, all autumn incarnation!

Edible dissonance

Marcelo and I saw a bumper sticker the other day. There were super cute chibis of a cow, sheep, chicken and pig topped off with a scolding "DO YOU REALLY EAT THESE?"  I answered without thinking "All of the above" and Marcelo chuckled.
It reminded me of when I was a kid and I'd get attached to the animals on the ranch who often turned into food for our family. I struggled a little with some cognitive (or culinary?) dissonance ...but somehow quickly got over it.

Literary tragedy

This tragedy is seconded only by the time baby Tevan took several bites out of "Women Who Run With the Wolves"--not only where there teeth marks but quite a few of the pages pulped together, so there are parts of the book that are just no longer readable. *sad sigh*

Vegetarian sympathies

...and Harmonydawn thinks I've got good deadpan delivery.
