was New now Acting the part

[Guest guest]

Oh you betcha I fake it.. er....eating meat. You would not believe the uproar

if I went to our inlaw's and didn't pretend to eat what was put on the table.

With the husband person's family salad is made from potatoes, eggs, relish,

onions and a gallon of mayonnaise. (Burp.) As this is our fourty-first

anniversary coming up, you know I have had to learn to adapt or get really good

at acting. All of our friends are carnivores who are positive that meat is good

for everyone. (picture me turning green...not my best color.)

 

Just thinking of my son in my kitchen cooking is enough to drag my carcass out

of bed. *shudders* For example. Last night I had a migraine and my new doctor

decided to give me Relpax instead of a shot of demerol. I had a less than

amusing reaction to it and ended up (finally) in bed with my good friends Lortab

and Phenergan. My son came into my room and woke me up about 3 AM wanting to

know how to heat up a piece of chicken that I had cooked for him earlier. Did

you know it takes three pots, a frying pan and an assortment of other things to

heat up one piece of teriyaki chicken and microwave mac and cheese? Neither did

I.

 

Mmm. veggie pot pies. What time do you want me over?

Wow, Jeanne! Are you saying you have to POSE as a meat eater?!?!? That

shocks me. I have certainly been to dinner at other people's houses

where there is little for me to eat, so I eat a salad or whatever, but I

can't imagine having to PRETEND that I eat meat!!! You are a sport.

 

And if your son is of adult age, sounds like he needs to make his own

meals! :-)

 

I have a carnivore daughter - age 14 (in a week or so). I am making

individual veggie pot pies this week and I plan to throw in some

pre-cooked chicken breast (purchased frozen at Trader Jos) into hers,

while the pies for myself and my other daughter will be meat free.

That's how I've been handling this situation and it's been working

pretty well.

have a similar problems. One of our kids is temporarily living with us and he

is a carnivore and my husband and I are lacto-ovo vegetarian. So I am making

two different meals three times a day.

from the veggies, I take a little of the meat and push it around the plate after

eating my veggies. Often I will take some on my fork and sort of keep talking

(I talk a lot when I get the chance) while waving it around, getting it close to

my mouth then not eating.

Can you bring your own favorite meatless dish as your personal

contribution to these family fests? At least there would be something

you would feel safe eating. How do you fake it? Just take some meat,

cut it up and move it around the plate??? 3 AM and your son had the

nerve to bother you??? Even without a migraine (I get em too)at 3AM I

would have smacked him with the piece of chicken!! Wow, you are a

saint!
