Almost fell off my chair.

A few of you may remember that I had a veggie for a wife that I eventually turned into a chickenatarian. For the past year I have been subtly working on my lovely wife to eat pork and have on 3 occasions actually got her to eat ribs. Well she's going away on business for the next week and we normally try to have a nice meal the night before she goes away. I was going to the meat market to get myself a supply of red meat for the week since I rarely get to have it when she's home and just before I left she blurts out "get some ribs, I want ribs Sunday night". Well you could have knocked me over with a feather.

Now I just need to get her to say" get a steak, I want steak for dinner" but I dont think that will ever happen.

Ha! That's great. You gotta take what victories come your way , brother! I have a daughter in law who's almost a veggie , but I cook chicken(well done) for her and she likes my pulled pork. The real red meat thing just ain't happenin....but that's a real nice tribute to your Q , man.

Good news. Way easier to cook one meal than two. I have a veggie daughter so I know.

Bob, I have a very similar experience. It has taken nearly 25 years, but my vegetarian wife has gradually come over to "the dark side" of carnivorism. She "blames" my grilled steaks, burgers and ribs" for her downfall from vegetarianism. My guess is when vegetarians get to taste what cooked meat is SUPPOSED to taste like, they realize what they have been missing out on.
