An Ode to Animals

On this, International Eat an Animal for PETA Day, I would like to present you with a bit of poetry:

To chickens, cows, and fish everywhere:

I do not eat you out of hate.
I just prefer you on my plate.
Rest assured that your dear life
Has aided that of me and the wife.
And the wee Fiona, though to a lesser degree.
Amen. Let's eat. On that we all agree.

Tonight's meat portion was brought to you by the letters C-O-W. We had Steak Hache' au Poivre, Pommes de Terres "O'Brien," and mixed vegetables (click on the photo above for graphic detail). You can get the recipe here if you're interested, bored, or just like to click through from blogs. The meal was accompanied by a Hedges CMS Columbia Valley 2001, for those keeping score at home.

Here's wishing you a happy and joyful International Eat an Animal for PETA Day!

Update: Laurence Simon goes photo happy with his wanton carnivore ways.

And Aaron beats Bill with his Kosher weenie.
