»I find it funny when people mention stuff they are giving up for lent and it's stuff you normally don't do....so I guess I can give up a bunch of things during lent.
But I do have a few serious ones also....
Well, I am again giving up cursing. It's difficult. Each time I do I count it, keep a count during lent, and give $1 to my church for each count. Got up to $40 one year...
When it comes to fast and not eating meat, I usually don't have any problems and tend to see more of my friends come over for dinner parties.
There's so many Japanese or Asian style dishes that don't contain meat that there's weeks I don't even touch anything with meat without thinking about it.
Also I make hummus. Spicy hot hummus or hummus with oils. With naan bread or flat bread, I can eat that all day.
