Where Does The Blood Go?

We had pork chops on the grill yesterday for dinner. Kadin usually LOVES pork chops - it's one of his favorite meals.

He was picking at pieces of his meat when we had this conversation . . .

Kadin: I can't eat this piece Mom. It's got red stuff on it.

Me: Let me see. Oh, that's nothing honey. That's just the seasoning on the outside.

Kadin: No, maybe it's blood.

Me: No, it's not blood.

Kadin: Meat has blood in it Mom. I saw it before.

Me: Yes, you're right . . . meat does have blood in it. It only has blood when it's raw, there is no blood once it's cooked.

Kadin: Where does the blood go?

Me: Ummm . . . I'm not sure.

Kadin: Maybe when Daddy grills it, the blood goes down into the grill.

Me: Maybe.

Kadin: Then it fills up in this bag, and when the bag gets full Daddy has to put it in the garbage.

Me: That sounds like a good possibility.

I just love his imagination!

And really . . . where does the blood go?
