As with everything else in my gradually Jewish life, going kosher is neither easy nor quick. Being raised "Southern country," ham, pork, and bacon are staples of the kitchen. Red-eye country ham, crispy fried bacon, sausage, battered pork chops...not to mention the things that are made with lard, or the meat meals that are covered in melted cheese or white sauce.
I have to admit I do enjoy seafood and ham. A cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise can really hit the spot. And of course there's my Christian husband who would throw a fit if I asked him to stop having bacon or sausage for breakfast on the weekends.
However, I can say happily that I've found many things that are kosher. In fact, today I rejoiced that my 3Muskateers bar was certified KOSHER! I nearly did a happy dance on finding that little symbol on the wrapper. :) Of course, kosher for Pesach is an entirely different animal, and I'm sure I won't be able to meet that standard this year. I will try if I can locate any kosher for Pesach items, but in a majority Christian area, and a small backwoods area at that, I doubt I'll find much available, and almost certainly not 8 days worth. ~sigh~
I am going to try to start planning kosher meals, without mentioning it to my husband, and see what comes of it. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get to him through his stomach, since I can't get to him through his mind. ;)
