I must be more stressed over the impending pig roast than I realize.

Over the weekend, I had a very strange dream that my hubby tricked me into eating REAL pepperoni.  Can’t even really go into details because the dream (or what I remember of it) was that short… but I do recall him feeding me beef pepperoni and once I realized I had eaten meat, I was completely disgusted and extremely angry with him.

In retrospect, it wasn’t an unusual dream to have given that hubby and I have been at odds over the pig roast event, which is this coming weekend.  This discussion has been a very difficult one for us.  I feel he’s asking me to compromise a belief that’s part of my core.  Vegetarianism is something I’m extremely passionate about, and he knows that.  He doesn’t see the difference between the pig roast and cooking hamburgers like they do at every campout.  I’ve tried to explain the difference, but hubby and I feel very differently about animals.  I know this will not be the first difficult situation we find ourselves in.

I have decided to go to the campout/pig roast.  Why?  Because I love my husband.  That’s the only reason I’m going… for him.

I informed him that I do plan to blog about the experience.  I’ll have my camera in hand this weekend anyway, so I hope to come home and share a candid look at how our mixed vegetarian/omnivore household deals with the event.  Watch for that sometime next week.

On a lighter note… I pick up my first CSA share tonight!!  I’m so excited!  I hear we’ll be receiving strawberries, lettuce varieties and garlic scapes.  The shares reportedly become more bountiful as the weeks wear on.  Look for my assessment of tonight’s share in the next day or two!!
