We eat less meat now so it’s not a big draw for us.

My wife and I are well into our 80’s, and we never bought the B$ about fats killing you, so we don’t load up on the statins and die from them.

We do eat less. What would have been basically a dinner in the past few years becomes dinner and lunch the next day or more.

Often my wife prepares a good size pyrex dish of really good Polenta. Then, a polenta serving will be topped with some type of meat and sauce. One day, the topping can be beef, another day chicken, another day ham/pork. Sometimes, there is leftover salmon or rock cod for the protein topping. We have some type of green or slaw to go with the above.

When fresh veggies are in, it’s just hard to make room for meat. I only finished half a pork chop last night (Trader Joe Aleppo Sauce). I don’t eat bread or desserts. Right now, we are entering the sweet spot for veggies so we are loading up and freezing what we can. Tomatoes are ripening all over the property so they are almost an every night thing with either cucumbers/onions/hot pepper vinegar or basil/olive oil/mozzarella.

I do make popcorn quite a bit with butter flavored coconut oil and Flavacol which harkens back to my concession stand days.
