It's a wonder what a good home-cooked meal can do for you.
Amy and I collaborated on a meal last night - broiled lamb chops, baked potatoes, and steamed fresh green beans. She made the veggies and marinated the lamb, while I cooked it, and it ended up that perfect type of medium-rare - not too pink, but very tender.
People deny their urges because of the media's infatuation with overly skinny women, yet there's nothing sexier than a *good* meal. Salads, vegan food, junky fast food, and gluttony are not sexy. A nice meal with appropriate portions and in good surroundings is.

I think vegan fare is bizarre, as was that ersatz turkey carcass moulded out of tofu I saw on television a few weeks ago. (It was more like a turkey-shaped bowl where underneath you could put whatever you wanted inside as stuffing.) I don't understand the mentality where one doesn't want to eat flesh, yet instead will eat something that looks like it. Talk about denying one's urges.
