Today marks six days since I've eaten meat. A lot of different things have contributed to me making the decision to try to go meatless. Not the least of which is my doctor telling me my cholesterol level is getting high. I hate having to take medication so I'm trying to control it with diet. I have been flirting with the idea of being vegetarian for a long time and have been cutting back on meat consumption all summer, so the past few days have not been a struggle at all. I'm buying Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet". I saw her on television recently and the recipes she describes sound really good. Tonight I am making a fantastic baked potato, onion, pepper and squash dish I had in Wyoming last weekend. I'm also making chicken for my husband. He isn't on board with going vegetarian and that's okay with me.
Here's a Mark Twain quotation I found today that I think is kind of cool.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
