Last Hump Day In October
Good Morning
Seems like I am on schedule of work 1 day on the house and then need the rest of the week to recover (back problems). I probably could work again tomorrow but I have candy to pass out Friday night, expecting 300 kids, and an out of town guest hanging out with us on Sunday so I do not want to be laid up for those. Guess I will have to try again next week. |

Just another day of more of the same here. Actually woke up thinking it was Tuesday until I heard my sprinklers come on.
Going for lunch in a bit, then hitting the gym and then maybe going biking with a friend. |

So I was a vegetarian for all of a week, and in that time meat got all weird on me.
Back on meat yesterday I went into a café and ordered a "full English breakfast". This includes both bacon and sausage, so while waiting for it to be cooked I was surprised to notice that I was in a Halal café. Pig is forbidden in Halal food (seriously forbidden - even if someone just walked in with an open packet of bacon and was promptly thrown out, they would no loner be able to say they were Halal until they had burnt all the food in the café, then scrubbed every surface, cooking vessel, plate, piece of cutlery, etc. with bleach, and only then could they re-apply for Halal status). When the food arrived the sausage was obviously not pork (it was beef) but in place of the bacon was a strip of what looked and tasted like processed ham - still a forbidden food. After the meal I asked the owner about the meat, apparently it was processed turkey meat that had been coloured, flavoured, and shaped to resemble ham! I can't for the life of me think why they bothered. I like pig meat, but if I thought eating it was a sin I could happily live of the other kinds of dead animal that are available. And most Muslims are born into the religion, so have never tasted ham so won't be missing it. Why bother faking it out of turkey? The only thing I can think of is that new converts go into the religion saying "I testify that there is no god but Allah, however if he thinks I am gonna go without a breakfast of eggs and ham, he'd better think again!" |
