Meatballs
So, when I had the task of cooking chicken by myself for the first time in my life, the experience simultaneously became my last. After deciding I never wanted to have to touch raw meat ever again, it was a pretty effortless slip toward the road of veggies.
Up until now, it was the act of touching the raw meat itself that made my shoulders shake. Watching someone else do it wasn't a problem, but nonetheless I didn't really care to eat it, either. However, I recently was watching Giada on the Food Network (yes, she works with meat occasionally, but she's Italian and what can I say... I love food). Apparently, my raw meat watching tolerance had decreased significantly by the time I saw her recent show where she made meatballs.
Think about it: a BALL of MEAT. To meat lovers, that probably sounds like heaven. But to me, that sounds like a ball of slimy rawness that I do NOT want to be handling. At that point, I had to walk away from the television.
It was a day of mixed feelings. After all, I am Italian. And a culturally foundation was on the line. I've decided I will embrace seafood and cheese. I guess veganism is out of the question.

The Eagle, the Ass and the Bitch
For almost two years, Donkey and Eagle were happy together, learning from each other and enjoying the other’s company. However, Donkey began to realize that he could never truly live up to the expectations that Eagle had for him and he became depressed, but he did not confide any of these feelings with Eagle.
One day, Donkey met a poodle. Although Poodle could not compare to Eagle’s intelligence, sincerity, kind nature, beauty or success, Donkey found himself interested in her and began spending more and more time with Poodle.
After noticing some strange goings on, Eagle confronted Donkey about the developing relationship he had with Poodle. Suddenly, Donkey admitted all of his feelings and it came out that he no longer wanted to stay with Eagle. He left her heartbroken and alone by a tree.
At first Eagle was upset to be abandoned by the one she loved and to see Donkey fawning over Poodle with no respect or sincerity. She longed to lunge at them from the sky and tear them apart. But Eagle realized that because they were confined to lives on the ground, Donkey and Poodle would never be truly happy, while she had the ability to fly free and unfettered.
