Eeeek - there's red meat in my house!

Well, ok. I'm not actually freaking out, though it is a little bit gross. We now have frozen beef burgers in our freezer and my frying pans have been violated by their juices.

TWN just can't hack the vegetarian, semi-vegetarian or non-red meaty diet apparently. For the second time, he's anemic and under doctor's orders to increase his iron intake (i.e. eat some meat!). I think he was fine for a while because he ate out for lunch quite a bit. TWN ate meat then, as opposed to at home where we have fish sometimes and a little chicken maybe, but are otherwise vegetarian. However, he's been trying to take lunches more; lunches that are almost always vegetarian, which may be why his levels of iron have dropped.

So, my mom has been quizzed on how to cook meat (I haven't cooked red meat since I was a teen and even then maybe only a couple of times) and has loaned me her beat up old school cookbook with advice on cooking things like organ meats too. Eeeeeeeeee.

The things I do for love.

Ok , the things I *consider* doing for love - I've yet to actually purchase the dreaded liver...
