Lent: Day 2 and going strong (smelling)
02/22/2007 15:23:07 / happy
This is the second day of Lent, and I am going strong ... despite the fact that I smell fried chicken everywhere I turn.
Fried chicken: My love, my bane, my deal-breaker.
For those that don't know yet: I have given up all meat, including seafood, for the 40+ days of Lent. I am doing it for the challenge and the rumored spirituality-enhancing properties of self-denial.
It's not so difficult so far, especially because I was a vegetarian for several years. But then again --- know what did my vegetarianism in?
Yep. Fried chicken. Couldn't stand the cravings anymore, so I ate a man-sized fried chicken dinner, which sent me to the hospital and also convinced me I'm not cut out to be a vegetarian.
Curse you, fried chicken! I can resist your deep-fried charms for six weeks, though.
In the meantime, I had tofu and garlic fried in olive oil for lunch -- what a wonderful smell. It was really good. I recommend it highly.
