Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing.

You ever toss and turn,
you're lying awake and thinking about the one you love?
You ever close your eyes,
making believe you're holding the one you're dreaming of?
It hurts so bad when you finally know just how
low, low, low, low, low, she'll go.

Baby did a bad, bad thing.
I know I am not supposed to patronize your, ahem, establishment. I know that I'm not supposed to, um, eat you. But I can't help myself. A girl's got needs.

Aspiring vegan, yes, but when your siren song of triple cream, or baked mac-n-cheese, or melted cheese between two deliciously buttered grilled pieces of bread, or - oh my - goat cheese scone! calls to me, I can't control myself.






I've seen the videos of horrible treatment of dairy cattle and I've supported my vegan friends in their personal and professional endeavors, but I just, er, melt, when you're near.

I'm not saying I need you. I'm not even saying I love you. I'm simply saying I'm weak in your presence. I'm intrigued by your creaminess. I'm fascinated with the way you, uh, taste.

I can't promise this will go on forever. I don't think either you or I want that. But for now, just for the moment...

Dairy (cheese in particular) is hard to give up for a reason -- it contains an enzyme that is literally addictive. So going off it cold ultimately can be easier/more effective than trying to wean.

And here's what makes doing it easier:

Food (and not-food) for thought. :)
