We've been eating meatless meals for at least two meals a week since before I got PG and continued to do so since I've been PG. We'll just make sure Friday is a meatless day.

I try and give up meat for Lent.

I admit though - when I was putting this week's menu together I didn't realize today was Ash Wednesday. We'll be having sausage & peppers & potatoes for dinner tonight Chat Icon .
