When I decided to start Meatless Mondays (MM) I don’t think I had ever cooked a total vegetarian dinner in my life except maybe when I was super lazy (cough hungover cough) and just ate seasoned wedges for tea.
Why would I do it? Well I’ll tell you why I didn’t do it, certainly not for any health benefits or to try and loose weight or to save money – good because none of that occured. I did it for the environment. That sounds pretty cliche but I’m serious: even though I’m just person and it’s just one day, it’s a start. A start to reducing intensive resources sunk into farming and a start to reducing greenhouse gases. You’ve got to be in to win as they say in lotto and I’d like to think I’m in for fighting global warming.
Now, one teeny lie I told. It’s not really “I”, me, myself, “I” have help of a husband. If I’m 100% keen on MM I’d say he is about 50% and that is 50% guilt from my global warming lectures. But he makes some of the meals and eats them……the enjoyment of them is another story!
So lets start!
