Last week I bought turkey cutlets at the Concord Co-op (the turkeys had been raised in Weare) and they were delicious. I still remember the time we raised our own chickens and the meat doesn't compare to anything you would buy at Shaw's or Hannafords. Just a thought. Make sure you get enough protein please - once a mom, always a mom ;)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638456137129970537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302480784488907086.post-71483463571932072532008-06-08T08:28:00.000-07:002008-06-08T08:28:00.000-07:00How do you feel about local meat?

For the most part, I don't really like the taste of meat unless you cover it in sauce, which I think is silly. If you don't like the taste of something, why drown it in something else just so that it is palatable?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, every once in awhile, I will eat some meat but I'm super picky. For some reason, while I dislike everything else, I do like meatballs, sausage, chicken salad (the only way I'll eat chicken) and the occasional piece of REAL ham, but after reading a few books, I (like you) completely backed off all meat. "Yuk! I'm not putting THAT in MY mouth" <BR/><BR/>As a result, I've been a veggie for almost a year now. But yesterday, I was out at the farm where we get our milk and cheese and they had samples of their sausage. Oh good heavens, it was soooo good! And it was something I could feel good about eating. You might check around for a place close by where you can get meat. Ours has beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and ham. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime I eat tons of beans, eggs, milk, and cheese for my protien.hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.com
