My boyfriend is a lot of things, but he’s definitely not a vegetarian.
As much as we both love animals, I don’t think he’ll ever be able to give up the taste and texture of a well cooked piece of meat.
He loves grilling and smoking meat, especially, and has a designated go-to store where he likes to purchase his cuts of pork. Luckily for him, he hit the jackpot on meat provisions last week when the store experienced a major setback. Apparently, their entire heating and cooling system failed in the middle of the night. The old temperature control system was well over 25 years old and had rarely been serviced. It functioned to treat the air all across the large grocery store, and connected to the same power grid as the other store refrigeration systems. That’s why a power surge was able to bring the entire store down to its knees one night. I guess that the electricity totally blew out the old heating and cooling system, which went on to take down the cooler section of the store. Of course this all happened when no one was present at the store. When all of the coolers warmed up to room temperature overnight it compromised the integrity of the meat department, in particular. The employees decided to have a huge blowout sale for all the meat that needed to be disposed of, hoping to put the proceeds towards the HVAC replacement. That’s when my boyfriend stumbled upon the pork paradise and stocked up for the next year. He probably individually funded their new AC purchase!
