Maybe your butcher at the grocery store would special order you in some veal - worth asking about if you want some. I usually re-create my favorite items from restaurants and then eventually I like my version better - it is getting harder and harder to convince me to go out to eat! One year my DH really wanted to bring me out for my birthday and I talked him into getting a deluxe grill instead! LOL. Cost about the same as going out to eat too and we use that thing every week!

My most difficult adjustment was the lack of resources. But, for the most part, I've transitioned pretty well. For instance, I only shop once a week because the nearest store is over fifteen miles away. Nice looking salad. I was raised in a large city but moved to a very small community ten years ago.

We feel safe, and the sales people in town know us, we have confidence in them. If a business is not good, word gets around fast, so we can depend on those who have lasted. I DO miss shopping though, even though it doesnt happen a lot. No matter where I am, I KNOW people - it's always nice to see a friendly wave. If you have car trouble on the road, you won't have to wait long for help. I was born in Chicago, and until I moved to my small town, at age 55, I never knew what "small town" was like. We have almost everything we need and many things cities don't have. I agree – my town is about 8500 pop. We feel safe, and the sales people in town know us, we have confidence in them.
