Carnivorous Cravings

When Kevin announced his desire to become a vegetarian, I was very supportive. Having spent several years living a vegetarian -- and ultimately a vegan -- lifestyle before reverting to my carnivorous ways, I knew the truth behind much of the pro-meat propaganda. I brought home library books for both Kevin and Joe, so that each could educate themselves on vegetarian options and nutrition.

For over a month, I've stocked the house with vegetarian foods, and I've cooked vegetarian recipies with "meat on the side" for the rest of the family. Mostly, I was content to join Kevin in his meatless lifestyle. Until this weekend. Late in the week, I started dreaming about South Street Souvlaki. Suddenly, I couldn't kick the craving for a gyro.

Joe is the sort who would indulge my any whim when possible, but I knew that driving to Philadelphia to eat meat was absolutely out of the question. Which brought us to Lefteris in Tarrytown. The added bonus was hanging out by the Hudson River in Dobbs Ferry

and watching a magnificent sunset.
