Just got back from my lunch with Sarah and the twins. We went to Brock’s, a place we all know and love, and the site of our EATAPETA lunch from three years ago. And we took some pictures.
Lunch: What’s on my plate is the grilled chicken with plenty of tasty sides from the buffet. I could live on Brock’s hush puppies.
Max proves he’s just as photogenic today as he was three years ago. Maybe even more so. That’s grilled cheese, his lunchtime favorite, on his plate. One of the four EATAPETA food groups was consumed: Dairy products. (That would be meat, dairy, fish, and eggs, for the newbies here.)
Rebecca mugs for the camera. This, of course, is her natural state: Mugging for the camera, and for, well, everyone. And while there’s no meat on her plate, she was drinking chocolate milk, thus fulfilling EATAPETA rules.
Sarah’s got the other white meat, as well as a plate filled with goodies. Max decided to get in on the picture as well, which was fine by us.
We happened to be at the safest place in Chesterfield during the lunch hour. There were three Sheriffs there while we were eating lunch, and a fourth drove up towards the end of our meal. The Brock’s buffet lunch is a big area draw. PETA would downright hate it. A worthy place for our EATAPETA lunch!
Steak is on the menu at both our houses tonight.
Since the metro NYC weather is being uncooperative, no beef ribs from the grill tonight. Instead, sauteed chicken cutlets.

Pulled pork sandwiches for lunch at our house. It’s good to be at the top of the food chain.
Corned beef hash with eggs. Since it was canned corned beef from Brazil (according to the label) there’s really no telling exactly what part of the cow it was, but it was tasty.
Got taken out to lunch by a vendor. I had a Steak wrap at a new restaurant in Stayton – Margarita’s Family Restaurant. Quite good.
Crabmeat ravioli, smothered with a sauce composed of well cooked pork-berger mixed with tomato sauce and cheeze. Later, ice cream. That’s seafood, pork, milk products twice over.
And tomorrow I will celebrate with shrimp!
Our family hit the BK 99 cent menu today. 4 Rodeo burgers, 3 Whopper Jrs,
4 cheeseburgers, 3 lg orders of Cheezie Tots and finished off the last gallon of milk. (The boys drink 2 gallons every school day.) Definitely NOT a PETA-friendly household!
Beef fajitas on flour tortillas with grilled onion, green pepper, tomato, guacamole, sour cream, goat cheese and salsa with jalapenos.
Pinto beans cooked with ham hock, chili pepper, green pepper, Worcestershire sauce and onion.
Venison sausage.
Potato salad (mayonnaise – not mustard)
Peach cobbler.
The usual suspects (beef and pork) plus something exotic personally sent to its destiny by a friend up the road who runs a small cattle ranch.
Beer
Well I was serving plates of ham and beans (kidney and white) with tomatoes and for those who wanted it (that’d be me alone)–jalopenos, in a nicely photogenic casserole with lots of red and white when…
The commercial for Charlotte’s Web came on TV, and one of the animals informed naive, cute piglet that humans like him alright…for pork.
Chickens fear me, for I have eaten many of their kind.
Great idea! I had the mixed grill at a local Mexican place for dinner–pork loin, chicken cutlet, and carne asada.
As a Crohn’s disease sufferer, I can’t really eat most vegetables, so my diet consists of way more meat than I really should eat. I can’t help but feel PETA’s vegetarian agenda is at least partly aimed at making sure people like me have nothing at all to eat, because the world would be a lot more comfortable for them if we weren’t around.
No meat for breakfast but I did have milk with my cereal. A hot dog for lunch and then chicken for dinner–no lamb or veal this year, but I like to think the chicken started out life as a cute little chick before it got big enough to sacrifice itself for my dinner.
Milk on the cereal at breakfast; shrimp stir-fry for lunch, chicken parmigiana from the Olive Garden (with shredded cheese on both the salad and the entree) for dinner.
And the best part is, I didn’t even know about EATAPETA day until I got home tonight!
I didn’t know about EATAPETA either, and still managed to consume a meaningful amount of cheese, a thing of yogurt, some homemade chicken salad, and a bowl of chili mac which, in addition to plenty of ground beef, also had some nacho cheese sauce in it.
Went to Top Notch Burgers in Austin and had their delicious three-piece chicken dinner with slaw and Texas toast.
You don’t make friends with salad!
Had a Veal T-Bone in honor of PETA(does that stand for “People Eating Tasty Animals”?)The only thing better would have been to add Fois Gras and live-steamed Lobster and really tic them off. Maybe someone could open a steak house where you pick your own”yummy cow”….
