My wife has this vision, that one day(or even one dinner) a week, can be meat-free. I'm not sure WHY she has this vision(she talks about things like 'saving money' and 'general health'...but I think she is really just trying to test my love for her.
As you might be able to tell, I am not very supportive of this meat free 'dream'. I don't need a slab of steak every night with dinner, but some meat, even as an accent(like ground italian sausage in spaghetti sauce) is highly desired.
Last night, I was not home for dinner. Some of use from work got together for beer and wings to send off one of my co-workers. My wife seized on this opportunity to foist a 'meat free' dinner on my kids, who are too young to defend themselves. She made up a pot of Rosemary White Bean Soup. One of my kids really liked it, and the other said it was okay.
I didn't see a polite way to decline bringing some into work for lunch...and so, I simply resolved myself to taking the hit for love.
You know what...that soup was pretty okay. More than okay...it was really good. I even made sure to tell my wife that. Now...I'm not saying a little bit of sausage or bacon in it wouldn't have made it PERFECT...but if she wants to make this soup again...I'm okay with it.
