The meaty cookings of a vegetarian person

Vegetarians don't eat meat.
Simple.
Doesn't mean we cant cook it though!

I don't understand everyone's disdain when they find out I've cooked meat.
I enjoy cooking, and enjoy cooking different thinks, so why not?
Admittedly, it does suck when I cook meat, because I cannot taste my own creation, but the satisfaction I get when i see people enjoy my food is worth it.
Sometimes it would be nice to eat it, so I can make sure its seasoned properly, or even test to see if its cooked thoroughly.
I do have little taste tests during the cooking stages, just making sure there is no meat on the end of the spoon when I do.

My boyfriend is one lucky person.
He lives an hour and a half away, and when he arrived tonight he will be sitting down to a meal of rabbit stew.
Ok, it doesn't sound too appealing. Agree.
But i more just wanted to try and cook with rabbit for something different. The recipe I really want to do only uses the hind legs (the recipe calls for 4-6), so i bought 2 rabbits, and then needed to do something with the remaining meat - or what is left. Rabbits really are tiny! Pure fluff!
Tomorrow, BF will be sitting down to a dinner of Curried Rabbit legs, with basmati riice and home made garlic naan.
While he demolishes his rabbit, I will be devouring my own dinner - I think toasted sandwiches are on the cards tonight, and garlic naan bread tomorrow!

I love naan.

    There is a butcher down the road that sells them, gets them in every Tuesday.
