Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 As a general rule, I don't allow meat in the house anymore, and my hubby is omni. He eats what I cook, he enjoys it, and if he wants meat, we go out. Right now, however, we're housing a couple of minor league hockey players who are in town early for pre-season intensive conditioning. Both of them are omnis. My hubby wants to be a good host (my personal opinion is that we're housing them for free, and they can darned well eat what I cook or go out and get a burger down the street if they don't like it, but that's just my opinion). So we made a deal. I work three to four nights per week (6 PM to 6 AM). So on those nights, Hubby can cook whatever he wants to cook for them. On the nights when I'm home, I get to cook whatever I want to cook. Anyway, I can tell meat was cooked in the house when I come home from work in the morning because there is a film of grease on every surface in the kitchen, even though hubby cleaned up after cooking. Blech! I can't wait until October 1 when I can have a clean, grease-free house again. If I would have realized what a big mess it was going to make, I don't think I would have agreed to the compromise. --- Sheryl <ssarndt wrote: > > I like this parallel with eating and cooking meat in > the house. > Like Gene said, the microscopic meat particles end > up all over the > house when it's cooked.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I can't stand the smell either! Thanks for your story Lori (and everyone else). That is about how I feel about meat in the house. If they want it, we can go out to eat. , VaMpYrEsS JeSsIkA <xxx_vampyress_jessika_xxx> wrote: > I can't stand the smell of meat. > > Jessika > > Lori <mrsshf> wrote: > As a general rule, I don't allow meat in the house > anymore, and my hubby is omni.
