goulash.

i wish nothing more than the following post to be an april fool's day joke. 

i'm sorry to say

it isn't...

 {easily the most adorable picture of natalie.}

you may not know it by looking at her
but my roommate natalie
is a little carnivore.
and i...
i could be a vegetarian
if i didn't love hire's big h 
as much as i do.
but still, natalie tries to make me eat
her crazy meats.
i just can't get myself to eat deer and stuff like that.
i can't.
i won't.

let's rewind to sunday evening.
natalie was on dinner duty.
on the menu:  goulash.
i lazed around
as she slaved away in the kitchen.
every now and then she'd said something like
what's the difference between garlic salt and garlic powder?
and
does this meat look done?
i didn't think anything of that.

the goulash was done.
served.
and devoured.
dee-lish.
in a matter of seconds. 
fast forward to yesterday...
after an intense "relaxation" yoga class
natalie was warming up leftover goulash.
are you sure you don't want any?
i was sure.
she warmed some up
wandered into our bedroom
and sat on my bed.
you know this is elk meat in this right?
...

sounds like aunt linda

has been teaching

natalie a thing or two.
