My new catch-phrase...

Me: "Good thing I'm not a vegetarian anymore."

Uncle Roger: "No wonder you seem happier and in a better mood."

I still haven't eaten a hearty, juicy steak for 20-years, but as Summer comes a-knockin' I've found it difficult to pass up: anything grilled (burgers and dogs), Polish sausage, meat Twinkies, authentic tacos from La Esmeralda, and lunch meat sandwiches, a la picnic-style.

As Mr. Dylan would say, "the times they are a-changin'."
