Channeling my inner Dr. Seuss

December 26th, 2012 at 09:54 pm

DH is having a bout of gout. It's knocking him out, without a doubt. (OK, maybe Seuss is better).

It's been on and off for about 6 weeks. He's going to see a rheumatoid doctor and his regular physician over the next week. In the meantime, we have committed to move toward a more vegetarian diet. This will be tough because we're total carnivores, but not impossible. The plan is to start small - 2 vegetarian and 2 vegan meals per week, and smaller portions of meat on the other days. We'll try that through January and see how it goes. There are so many vegetarian items in the regular grocery store nowadays, so we'll try them out and see which ones we can substitute without noticing it.

Aside from that, I'm off from work this week. Using the time to get the house back in order after hosting people throughout the month, and prepping for 2013. And we're seeing the Hobbit tomorrow!

    Hmmm. Sorry to hear about the health issues. I like meat, but we use less when we focus on meals that have meat as an ingredient (think stir fry,fajitas red beans and rice, or soup, and many ethnic dishes) rather than adhering to the very american idea of dinner: a plate with separate sections, including slab of meat, vegetable, starch, etc. Rather than going whole hog vegetarian.

    Strangely enough my Dad's gout was because of excess vitamin C. He cut out his supplements and it went away. Just a thought.

    My favorite vegetarian items are the chicken patties made by either Boca or Morningstar Farms. Both are yummy.
