Meaty Christmas To All

I am privledged to have the most wonderful, generous bestest friends and family on the planet. Yesterday, we recieved on our doorstep, a Christmas present from Blane and Shannon. I will call them the "Smiths." Be assured that this is not their real name....or is it? The gift contained the most generous and thoughtful gift: a big box of meat! Not just any meat but world renowned, Charlie Vergos dry rub, pork, short ribs. Not only that but two bottles of bar-b-que sauce, a bottle of seasoning, and two pints of mustard slaw. This came complete with place mats and moist towelettes! It is a complete dinner that we will share on New Years Eve with two more of our precious and dear friends Sueandmike. I must say, we are not worthy. The "Smiths" continue to amaze us with their caring and spirit of giving.

Then today another big box of meat arrived. This one from my beloved, Canadian uncle and aunt, Peter and Irene. Each box more magnificent that the last. This box originated at Omaha Steaks. It contained 16 gourmet burgers, 12 filet mignons, 10 top sirloin steaks, eight potatoes (stuffed and baked) and one New York cheesecake. (A side bar here..the cheesecake lasted not even four hours in our household of three, one of who would NEVER eat cheesecake. Moderation means nothing to us.)

And now for the punchline. I am a vegetarian. What are the odds of two magnificent boxes of meat arriving in two days on the doorstep of me, a tree-huggin', Birkenstock wearin', bleeding-heart liberal, animal lovin' vegetarian. (not vegan, mind you, or else how would I ever have wolfed down half that cheesecake in no time at all?) Thank you, you've been a great audience, I'll be here all week, try the fish!
