In a Nutshell

For the last few days, I have had a really yucky stomach. So much so that I couldn't even enjoy the delicious food and booze being served at Lesty's annual New Years Day brunch. I spent much of yesterday in the bathroom, unable to puke or poop, feeling really frustrated and just generally having bad stomach ache depression.

Today I ate a lot of this



It turns out that not only is this shit delish, it also doesn't upset my tum tum.





I've also been drinking a lot of this



It's very pink, it doesn't taste good, and did you know that it turns you poos black?

I can't say I'm very surprised that I'm having gastro distress. I've had the last week off from work and spent a lot of it EATING {surprise}.

Christmas Eve, I took it upon myself to cook, which I love to do but don't do often enough. I whipped up some honey-crusted salmon, roasted brussel sprouts, biscuits, and this delicious butternut squash thingie



topped off with ice cream sundaes {dude, I was too tired to actually MAKE real dessert, which is usually my favorite thing}.

Christmas day was a typical Italian/Lebanese Christmas, with plenty of Baked Ziti, Eggplant parm, and of course, Kibbe Balls!

In addition to the holiday meals, I engaged in various brunches and lunches at places such as L'Express and Bar Tabac .

My favorite food outing was with my girls roopa and
kristen, for our annual White Trash Christmas. Many strawberry margaritas were imbibed, along with mass quantities of fried foods such as tater tots and sweet potato fries...and many drunken conversations were had. Things such as "teeny weeny peen" and "he makes balloon animals with his cock" were uttered. Somewhere along the way, kristen and I became obsessed with needing to have cake, so brilliantly, roopa suggested we go Billys Bakery

where I proceeded to have two cupcakes and a glass of milk. I think I put my system into shock with the milk...unless I'm drinking it with coffee, when the hell do I ever drink it?

In addition to all the fabulous food outings, I also received 498572729 bajillion boxes of candy for Christmas from various vendors. Some of them got regifted, but most went down the ole gullet.

And I wonder why my stomach hurts...
