Today whilst driving home from a farmers market my Red Headed Hurricane raised the issue of "bad butchers" with us. These are the people that don't treat animals well when being slaughtered or afterwards by pumping water into the meat. He decided that we should not kill any animals at all. So I said that this is possible and that we could be vegetarians and not eat any meat like my cousin from England. "Doesn't he eat chicken?" No chicken is meat he eats veggies and get his protein from beans and legumes. He doesn't want to eat animals.
We often have a Curry in a Hurry with him and his partner Lovely L. We then enjoy all the veggie delights together. We also explained to my Red Headed Hurricane that he would not be able to have butter chicken. That chicken is meat. He listened carefully and then said to us. "So I would also talk funny too!"
We found a small farmers market at Mulgrave today. It is on every Sunday and I think in times of need we will be going there. It was great fun although a little hot for my liking today. We got caught out yesterday thinking it was the fourth Saturday and we dashing off to find that it was actually the fifth Saturday of the month and no markets, plus we had NO veggies and things needed to go back to school and kinder tomorrow. We now have a stock of Zucchini's and some other lovely things.
