For a number of years in DC, I didn't eat meat.  Then my roommates wore me down and I started eating meat (it's pretty hard to say no to my two male roommates and between the two of them they are pretty good with a grill and fryer and anything that was once breathing).  When I found out I was moving to Bulgaria for the year, I started looking into the local cuisine and found out that the diet is heavily meat based.  Sure there are some meat free dishes but even these aren't necessarily meat-product free so I decided to start eating meat more seriously.

Don't worry though, MoM, I am still eating plenty of veggies--mostly these days in the form of tomatoes, cabbage and cucumbers (yes cucumbers and for those of you who know me, you'll know this is a big deal because I don't eat cucumbers.  I think in the last two weeks I've eaten more cucumber than in the previous 26 years of my life).  The interesting thing is that I haven't seen a single leaf-lettuce or spinach salad in the last three weeks.  I am going to miss those soon.

I am sure at this point you are wondering to yourself: where is this post going? Well I'll tell you.

Earlier this week I was walking up the steep hill before our hotel and I saw a big brown chicken in the road.  I decided that I was going to chase it out of the road because cars come up the hill and around the bend pretty quickly and I didn't want it to be hit.  That and I have never had the chance to chase a chicken before.  Well, I told my roommate who is pretty quick on her toes what I was going to do and while I am running up the hill she is recording the whole scene with the video camera in her cell phone.

Before viewing said video, please note that no animals were hurt during the filming of this clip and probably you shouldn't try this at home (well especially in the United States as I think that this would be difficult thing to try because we don't have very many chickens out wandering around). Also, I did not eat this chicken even though the title of my post may suggest this.
