Well its been a while.  Now that we are all settled there doesn't seem to be much to write about.  Daily life is pretty mundane.  Same as it would be in Canada.  Work, school, figuring out what's for dinner and what should we do on the weekend.  And I certainly wouldn't be blogging about that at home so topics are slim to none. 

So on that note I will write on a seemingly innocuous topic of salt. Yep salt. 

Its winter so you would think that salt would be every where in Prague (although all the ice and snow from earlier in the winter is long gone).  But they don't use salt.  Instead its some kinda crushed rock stuff.  Very fine and just as annoying as salt.  Not that its really important at all but I have been wondering why they don't use salt at all on the roads during the winter.  And then it hit me.  They don't use salt on the roads because they use every available grain of salt on meat.  It does not matter what kind of meat, what cut of meat, whether you buy it in the grocery store or order it in a restaurant; there is so much salt that I cannot stomach it.  Ground meat in particular is very bad so our typical winter diet of chili and shepherds pie has gone by the wayside. 

So what to do, what to do?  Well, at this point I don't really know.  I've become much more of a vegetarian and much less of a meatatarian for now.  Thank God the for tomatoes and cheese.
