Steak! I needed steak. I had to have steak. I craved it. I was exhausted all day at work. I was having trouble thinking straight, focusing, understanding. At a couple of points I was having trouble forming sentences. I was tired! My friend (who knows my eating habits are not the greatest) thought that I might be iron deficient since I was craving steak. Well, I think I confirmed that because I felt so much better after eating a steak.

Another great thing is that they were on SALE! The price was cut to where it was almost buy one get one free . . . so I bought two. The other steak is in the freezer for the next iron deficiency emergency. I was talking to my best friend on the phone who knows I love spinach out of the can and she was surprised that I would be iron deficient because when she was my roommate, I would eat spinach all the time. I have not been buying spinach because of the raising of all the grocery prices. So, I'm back to generally eating like I did in college. Chicken leg quarters (10 pounds for $5), Ramen noodles, and egg noodles and some mac and cheese thrown in. Yeah, maybe I need to rethink my relationship with food including my relationship with my grocery budget.

I am definitely a carnivore. I love steak. Chicken. Pork. Turkey. All good. Somebody asked me if I would still be a carnivore if I had to kill the animal to get to the meat. I think I could. I haven't had to, yet. When I was in a really bad financial situation, I started looking at the ducks that wander around my apartment complex. They are all over the place. I don't think anybody would miss one, especially if it was tasty.

Well, that's my 15 minutes.
