As you may remember, we took Peta’s 30-day vegetarian challenge back in September. We completed it, but unfortunately inhaled a party sized basket of chicken wings on the 30th night. The thing is, we’ve grown up eating and appreciating meat (free-range as well as organic). But as much as we love animals, it’s just been so freaking difficult to neglect our omnivorous instincts. So we’ll try again – for the sake of Lent. No more meat until Easter. But there’s a twist:

Because we missed last years Lent, we’re going to take on a double-challenge. The second, much more terrifying. No alcohol. You see, the Cowgirls live and breathe Pinot Gris. There’s not been one day where we haven’t clinked glasses at 6:00 sharp. We’ve always acknowledged and embraced our alcoholism as part of our daily ritual – until now. There will be only one exception for us to have an ice cold MGD, and that’s if Canada wins the gold in men’s hockey. Fair compromise, n’est pas? Let the games of Lent begin.
