Update: Vegetarian Month

October 13th and vegetarian month is still going strong.  There have been moments where I may have felt weak, but I've stuck with it.    For example:  As most bachelors do, I love frozen pizzas.  in late September, as part of my normal grocery shopping I picked up a couple frozen pizzas, and this weekend I decided that a Red Baron frozen pizza would hit the spot:

Supreme (my favorite topping) of course, includes meat.  Specifically pepperoni and sausage.  As you may know, meat is the most taboo style of food for the vegetarian; even a temporary vegetarian.

Sticking to my commitment, I diligently removed all meat-type substances from said pizza.  I then prepared the pizza by cooking it in a conventional oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

It was quite tasty.  I subsequently ate the entire pizza while watching television that I had previously digitally recorded.  

*****Note: eating an entire pizza is not recommended and furthermore is the reason that i will likely not lose any weight by removing dead animals from my diet.

Goodbye, Chickenburgers!

Both of the regular readers of this blog know about our affinity for experiments that really make no sense, such as the experiment that we conducted during the month of April, 2008.

Well, just like Lewis and Clark, Niel Armstrong, Indiana Jones and Muhammad, I am embarking on a new Journey of Discovery.

I will not be eating any animal carcasses during the month of October, 2008.

That's right, I'm going to try on vegetarian-ism for a month.  No burgers, steaks, or chicken quesadillas.  No more turkey legs, fajitas, pork rinds, or ribs.  Not even livers or loins until after Halloween.  Don't even try offering me jalapeno cheddarwursts or bull testicles.

Why, you ask?  Well it began with a conversation I had with Jeff Jarrett, who is a vegetarian.  His birthday falls on September 30th and in planning his birthday activities I was struck with the realization of how limiting it is to be vegetarian.  I became curious, indeed.

It's like being Left-Handed, or short, or from Chile.  The world is not designed for vegetarians.  I had a brief snapshot that day of the plight of the vegetarian.  I decided that it will only enrich my life to look at the world through the lens of a vegetarian for one month.  I will keep the blogosphere up to date, of course.

I am also taking canned donations of refried beans or cream of mushroom soup.
