i ate meat

friday night, my boss gave us a certificate for a free dinner for two at fogo de chao (brazilian steakhouse - http://www.fogodechao.com/). we went for dinner on friday night - it was a date! it was a fun new way to dine. the first course is the salad bar, which was a large spread of all things salad. yummy! when you finish your salad, you then flip over you token from the red side to the green side which indicates, "bring on the meat gauchos!" the gauchos walk up to the table with the huge skewers of meat and offer you their choice of meat. the meat eater in me (who is not completely dead) got very excited by this. i got a few pieces of filet mignon and went to town. my tastes buds were instantly excited and my teeth did a happy dance as they tore through the muscle. it was a treat! about 10 minutes later i had to put my fork down. not from being full, but because i was so nauseous. as much as i enjoyed tasting the meat, digesting the meat was a different ball game. luckily, the wine was still edible :-)
