Gag-my husband is cooking burgers for his dinner.
:puke:
At least he is doing it out on the deck with his grill, but still. He is going to have to bleach the counters where he prepared them.

Did I mention? :puke:

2. Thank God my wife and I are both vegetarians
I don't know if I could make out with someone who had eaten a fat laiden burger in the last 3 months. Alls I would think of is the someone else's muscle and fat rolling around in their mouth.

Bleh!

:puke:

4. Thanks David. Thanks a bunch.
:spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank:

Rub it in, why don't you? ;)
I asked him to try going veggie, and he flat out refused. I can't make him, but I won't cook it.

5. Heh heh - Sorry about that!
Yeah, some people aren't open to being veggie. I know nutty people who refuse to eat almost anything unless there's meat in it. Like veggie lasagne! They won't eat it because lasagne is supposed to have meat

:boggle:

Anyway, good luck, and force him to use a good mouthwash (like gasoline!).

:)

6. :) It's ok!
I was teasing ;)

He is very unwilling to try it. He doesn't seem to mind that I won't cook it, but if we go out he get's the biggest piece of meat he can order. Whatever, that's what I say :P

As for the mouthwash, bleach might be better.

7. Bleach is a great idea!!!
It's not flamable.

One word of hope: often the people who are most virulently pro-meat are actually trying to rationalize their inner guilt over the issue. I used to buy into and use all the really lame pro-meat arguments until one day I realized what I was doing and how I really felt, and it wasn't long after that (over 11 years ago) that I decided to go veggie.

And thanks, btw, for the :spank:s! ;)

8. I still prepare meat for family.
I hate the smell of ground meat, but aside from that, I try not to get gagged up over it.

They had spaghetti and meat sauce. I had my own sauce with Veggie Patch meatballs. They were delicious! The hard part will be taking veg food to my dad's for this weekend.

9. When I went veg, I told my husband I wouldn't prepare it
or have it cooked in the house. I just can't deal with it. He is good about it. If he does buy meat, he keeps it in the basement fridge, too. :)

10. I do the cooking in my house, so I don't have to worry about it....
...my wife does not know how to cook at all, so I prepare the meals. And since I do the cooking, and grocery shopping, there is no meat in our house. When we go out, she will eat some chicken or seafood sometimes, but since I do the cooking at home, she eats what I make, which is, of course, vegetarian. She loves my meals moreso than anything she eats elsewhere, so she loves to eat what I cook. She's about a 90% vegetarian. One of these days, I hope she becomes 100% vegetarian.

12. LOL....
...I don't do it EVERY night. Sometimes I make her fend for herself with frozen dinners. But even with those, I make sure I buy ones that are meat free, and with vegetable protein. I'm a meany that way. No meat in our house! Other than that, she pretty much tells me what to do and when to do it. In a marriage, one has to make compromises. It goes both ways....;-)
