As Gramps used to say: If I could (have a BM,to put it delicately) or throw up, I would.
Anyone else feeling the un-hunger pangs?

Posted: 11/28/08 at 12:13pmCompletely. I don't eat dead animals and thought I was being moderate with the mostly starchy and delicious sides. But today, I'm more backed up than the Holland Tunnel at rush hour. Just kidding!

I'll seond both sets of sentiments.
But I had a cooking nightmare, too.
Being from the south, I make Mac and cheese for Thanksgiving. It's just part of southern/soul cooking. But this year, my usual Mark Bittman ("How To Cook Everything") recipe failed me. It calls for using TWO bay leaves in the steaming milk for the sauce. I usually use a half, or one.But this year, since my mac-loving son is 17, I thought, let's go adult. So Mark, I did as you instructed. But my new bay leaves were so pungant, I ended up with mac and cheese that tasted like it was spiked with Channel Number 5 (I swear, you could see Nicole Kidman's pale face in the steam.)
Into the trash, all of it.
And my homemade stuffing: a bag of chopped pecans tasted like the worst disinfectant used at the Food Emporium. The whole vat of stuffing had a vaguely Formula 409 scent.
Into the trash with the creamy perfumed mac, a pound of stuffing.
At 4:45 p.m., I stood sweating, cursing, weeping, REMAKING the mac and cheese AND the stuffing, as my kitchen garbage can smoldered with the dreadful remains of two tainted dishes.
By 7 p.m., only 4 glasses of wine (and no small amount of whine) got me in the mood to eat.
Today, anything involving bechemal sauce or chopped onions and celery and spiked store-bought nuts (my cashews also taste like the floor of a porno theater, an hour after mopping up.)
Tonight, an italian restaurant: no fowl, no cheese, no breadcrumbs.

That's what you get for shopping at the 99 Cent store, Auggie.
And how is it possible to eat at Olive Garden without cheese or breadcrumbs?
AND how would you possibly KNOW what the floor of a porno theater tastes like?

Beautiful Auggie!
"(I swear, you could see Nicole Kidman's pale face the steam.)"
That happened to me once! It ended up being a 20-something Belarusian.

#8How Bay Buchannon got her name.
Posted: 11/28/08 at 12:32pm
I now have a bay leaf phobia. I use the Morton and Bassett spices of SF, and I swear, this batch is steroidal. But I'm going to find out how to contact Mark Bittman and tell him that bay leaves do not make Mac and Cheese more "grown up," just smell and taste like the annual flower show in Bayonne, NJ.

I am a freak and don't eat normal people food so just had rolls. But I'm also in the middle of my hard-core period.
I want to die.
