Meat...

So a couple of weeks ago I decided that it was healthily living for me. It could have been because I passed out cold for no apparent reason in a hotel room in Montreal, or that as I quickly approach 40 so does my waist size. But anyway one of the things that I thought might be a good thing is to give up my new found diet of a slice and Pepsi for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I head off to the Key Food, not the ghetto one by me but the Key Food Fresh in Park Slope and load up on "healthy" food. But what about meat? Next to booze and really good sex (and the sex has to be really good) meat is my favorite thing. I decide that I will give up starches, junk food, the usual bottle of wine a night if I can keep meat in my diet.

$120.00 later I unpack my grocery bags filled with steak, chicken, pork chops and bacon (food of the gods) and plan my weeks meals... happy road to health. Monday I'll grill a steak, Tuesday, Bake a chicken breast and so on... I can't wait until bed time so I can take out my frozen meat in preparation for the next days meal.

Here's the problem, I really love meat, but I hate handling raw meat. So the nicely defrosted meat doesn't get cooked that first day, "I'm really not that hungry" next day, "um I think it will keep one more day", the next day " oh thats kind of brown, I'll throw it away and defrost the ---, that I'll cook really".
