Lent Update

Well, nine days in and I already goofed. I completely forgot about No Meat Friday. Forgot it was Friday, or that we were not supposed to eat meat today. Not a very good start, especially since I am still meandering around what it is that I am supposed to do this year.

So, there we were in the kitchen, food on the way, and I suddenly remembered. "Oh crap, no meat Friday!" My Dearest Beloved Husband did not look pleased with my sudden realization. Now we were faced with a moral and theological (?) dilemma: to eat or not to eat the breakfast sausage. On one hand, we are supposed to make this sacrifice for...what reason again? Some reason which may help make us better Catholics and subsequently get into Heaven. So we should not eat the sausage because it would be a true sacrifice. (Particularly when it smells really good.) On the other hand, we would have to throw out the sausage, because it never re-heats properly and it would be ruined. That is a waste, and we should not waste food. People are starving in some places in the world, including, I am sure, my own backyard.

And what did we do loyal reader(s)? We risked eternal damnation and had our sausages. They were quite tasty, too. Well, we will start again.
