Yeah, tomorrow’s definitely a grocery run, and I’m going to splurge on some MorningStar or Garden Burger or equivilant products. I don’t normally because they’re pretty beyond my budget (I can get, what, thirty packs of ramen for the cost of one pack of that stuff). Maybe it is just a protein thing - I doubt this, because as I said, I’m all about the peanut butter and cheese quesadillas.
I’m certain that I’m fine iron-wise - isn’t fatigue one of the main symptoms of anemia? The only tiredness I’m feeling is due to the combination of too much work, not enough hours in the day, and an ongoing bout of insomnia. But that’s why we have coffee…
If you’ll read the post a bit more carefully, my dear, you’ll see that I said her excessive drinking was not at all unusual; she was not normally sick as a dog for 24 hours after a night on the town.
The variable in the equation was her consumption of chicken wings.
Ergo, the reasonable conclusion can be drawn that it was the chicken wings, and not the alcohol, that led to her illness.
And I don’t know about your experiences, but being “sick as a dog for 24 hours” is not exactly the normal definition of a hangover. That would delve into a whole other level of excess, bordering on alcohol poisoning, IMHO.
I would venture to suggest that microbial food poisoning (such as Salmonella) is a more likely scenario. I’m sure that our gut bacteria populations do get attuned to the foods we most commonly eat, but “sick as a dog for 24 hours” the day after eating chicken wings sounds like Salmonella to me.
Well… that it was pork was actually no mystery. The more disturbing thing about it is how it’s prepared and shudder garnished.
I can only assume that, round about December or late January, the dining service here order a metric assload of cheap pork chops, and then forget that they exist. Round about March, they remember that, oh yeah, they’ve got a whole ton of pork chops in frozen storage. Should get around to using those, eh?
Result: hideous, dry pork chops for the entree. Every night. Until mid-April. But it gets worse! Realizing that plain porkchops would be lame and no fun, they decide to make things a little interesting by garnishing them with various other…foods. So we get porkchops with a slice of lemon on top. Porkchops with zucchini on top. Porkchops with duc sauce and a slice of tomato - FUCKING **DUC SAUCE **, AND A SLICE OF TOMATO!
I had dining hole food that ate holes partway through the styrofoam take-out containers. I never did figure out what it was in the food that might do that, and I’m sure I’m better off not knowing.
