Very Interesting Fact: Vicki and I happen to be the only vegetarians ever to visit South Carolina. This is quite a shock coming from Asheville, land of granola and tofu, Laughing Seed and Earth Fare. Where being a vegetarian doesn't even get you a blink. But in Spartanburg, people think you are kidding. "No meat? How about fish and chicken?" Gary, who is chaplaining for the summer told me that vegetarians are just people who sneak meat when others aren't watching. Since we all eat lunch together every day, this theme has become the running joke.
Imagine the carnivores joy to find out that today's cafeteria special is a luau complete with a whole roasted pig. "What a great day to start eating meat Erin!" "Aren't you tempted?" NOPE. But Abi did capture the moment on film forever.
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. Luke 15:23 and 24 NIV
Oh, man, Erin, I'm so glad you stayed strong. 'Cuz that does look delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fatted pig/Luau picture! Too cute. They just don't know about all the gluten farms in the North:-) M6
