Meat By Definition

I looked up the word “meat” in Webster’s New World Dictionary, and it had this to say: “Meat n. the flesh of animals, esp. of mammals, used as food.” And then, “Meat-and-potatoes adj. basic, fundamental.” S. and I attended a barbeque last night after our meat-fest, and there we mentioned briefly our journey into sainthood. One definite NASCAR fan replied in a horrified manner, “Why?! A meal’s not a meal without a slab of meat.” A lot of people feel this way. He is what we call a Meat-And-Potatoes Guy. And I didn’t feel like getting into while happily sipping a strawberry daiquiri. I let the daiquiri take me to an island far, far away from the squirrel hunter. Some things are best left to karmic retribution. Oh yes, the squirrels are coming for us.
