Tonight I said farewell to one of my favorite meals, London Broil. I cooked it under the broiler till it's medium & juicy. I serve it over Arugula & Spinach with garlic & balsamic-marinated roasted Red Peppers, and then I sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. YUM! I also served a side of steamed broccoli. This is a meal that will certainly make me miss eating steak. The flavors are robust, it is juicy and almost thirst-quenching. As much as I tried to think about the cow who sacrificed itself for this meal, I still kind of enjoyed it. I feel guilty.
After dinner, Nina and I dyed our eggs for Easter.
When I was dying Easter Eggs with Nina, something occurred to me...
Tonight was the last meal I would eat as a meat-eater. I find it extremely coincidental that it is the night before Easter Sunday. For those of you who may be unfamiliar, Jesus Christ was crucified, died, and was buried and on the third day (Easter Sunday), he rose again. He was resurrected. Now in no way am I comparing myself to Jesus, but symbolically many people like to relate the story of Jesus with season of spring. For example, we suffer under cold winters, plants seem to die, animals hibernate. However, when spring arrives they are all "resurrected!" I am relating my mission of trying to become a vegetarian as a "resurrection." I will be resurrected tomorrow with a "new life", I will no longer eat meat. My body will start to cleanse itself of 29 years worth of toxins. My mission of changing my life and health will begin and hopefully it will make a difference in this world... I know it will.
I have always had doubts in my faith, but have always tried to be very spiritual... and with coincidences like this I cant help but think that perhaps this was all "God's" plan. Like I said at the start of this whole blog, "something" told me I had to do this, perhaps there is a reason why it happened to me now. I'd like to think it is more than a coincidence.
