Just wanted to share that I am eating the most amazing two inch thick, medium rare, NY Angus steak right now. Mooooooo!

Sorry Marcie, I couldn't help myself...

Those are the most adorable cheeseburgers!!

Ya know, I lived in a very rural area for a couple years and when I would drive to town I often saw the cows with their babies out standing in the fields and thought, "How wonderful is that? These mom's must love their children on some level or another", and you know what? I gave up eating beef for that two years because it seemed so wrong to me then.

Well that was over a decade ago, I have lost my empathy and it pains me.

Why must they taste so good? Not fair, not fair at all.

My ancestry is Swiss, German and Italian, all nationalities that have red meat in their cuisines - which I grew up eating and still eat. Still, for health and environmental reasons I try to limit my intake to a maximum of one serving per week. I also try to be very conscious of where all my meat, including the chickens, rabbits and hogs, as well as my vegetables, come from. I feel fortunate in that I have relationships with a number of local farmers who can keep me supplied with meat and produce that I am confident was raised with a minimum of "inhumane" treatment and is of good quality.

These cows are actually pretty cute!

I used to eat a lot of meat (and other crap) in my freshmen year of college, but now, especially being on hormones, I don't eat all that much meat (or other crap) in general. I usually eat chicken, or fish.

Dunno if anyone here has heard of In N' Out Burger, but they are the best place to go if you are craving some red meat!

They are!

And just because I hate when my hundreds of literary, scientific, philosophical and historical references (about a dozen per post) go unacknowledged, Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas are one of the most famous lesbian couples in the history of literature.

Considering recent research indicates that, beyond ability to learn from other's experiences, good memory for words, scents and images, strong emotional attachments and capacity to complete tasks like opening doors or activating a feed chute, cows are also quite given to Sapphic sex, I thought it was relevant.

So much looking for non-human intelligence in the stars and we're surrounded by it. Sigh.

It's all those naked udders in the warm sun. Like Robert Palmer said: "Simply irresistible."
