#MeatlessMonday



The thing about going meatless - even for a day - is we almost all do it without thinking about it probably at least once a week. But when it's pointed out to us, or highlighted, then we overthink it and get all weird about it. I've had days where, without thinking about it, I have cereal for breakfast, these madras lentils I'm obsessed with for lunch, and noodles with a red meatless or alfredo sauce for dinner. Totally meatless and I didn't even think about it. But on a day where I purposely go meatless I think about meat all day long as if it had been years since I had it. Our brains are weird. 

To inspire going meatless just one day a week here's 52 meatless monday recipes - you are set for a whole year's worth!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
