Whoa
It's busy here, of course, so this is going to be brief.
I broke my fast last night and had a birthday steak. And that was one fantastic steak, let me tell you. The flavor of the meat was completely different from normal. It tasted much, much stronger (I'm sure the teriyaki sauce added to that, but I tried my friend's steak and it had the same HOOAH flavor). It was almost like good-quality game. I've had venison and moose and that's what this reminded me of.
Carnivorous friends, I would almost recommend you try giving up meat for a week or two, just to experience a good steak at the end of it. It's a strong, almost exotic flavor that just knocks you out. WOW.
Of course, this sparks a lot of other reflections, like how being used to the taste of meat decreases the enjoyment factor...and how other things in life that have great flavor can, for whatever reason (familiarity? lack of attentiveness? lack of time to appreciate?), seem ordinary or bland. Interesting!
But for now, that's all. Back to Good Friday and sewing up all these loose ends.
