Am I Losing My Taste For Meat?

I prepared a 4 lb. lamb roast last night. I overcooked it a little bit but still a pretty tasty proposition was placed on the table.

One reason I overcooked the lamb is because I was distracted with the roasted sweet potatoes, turnips, parsnips, celery, pecans, mushrooms, broccoli and string beans. A big challenge that some cooks never master is ensuring that everything, all food items, are done at the same time. To lodge an excuse, I am still trying to figure out how much time is needed to roast each of the aforementioned foods.

Nonetheless, the lamb was still tasty and there was a time when I would have eaten one to two pounds of that wondrous animal flesh. One of the biggest surprises of the One Meal A Day Plan is that when I do settle down to eat, my appetite disappears. When I eat my first meal at 8 PM, I consume fewer calories than I would had I eaten breakfast and lunch.

I ate about four oz. lamb and a plate of roasted vegetables. Despite being the first meal of the day, I could barely finish it. The lamb was the hardest thing to get down. Maybe I should rejoice that my appetite has decreased but I am already starting to miss my old friends.
