Wow-o-wow do I feel yucky today. Mild headache. Lack of energy. Sun stings my eyes. A little bloaty. When I blink slowly, I can hear the blood rushing in my ears. Big pimple on my eyebrow. And I attribute it solely to the wild day of eating I enjoyed yesterday (oh, so good!)Yesterday started with a late breakfast with Gillian. In the short (yet sweet) two hours we spent together, Gillian and I shared a big pot of coffee (which I hardly ever consume) laced with cream, three superb pastries, juice and a box of strawberries.
By noon, since the day had started off so well, I decided that I might as well make a day of it. Sure, I went to yoga and attended a three-hour workshop about ayurvedic detoxes, but they were tiny blips in my day of gluttony. I would not be deterred!
At seven, I went to a mass potluck at a friend's house in NDG. The first few hours were like an orgy. Margaritas, beer, homemade guacamole and salsa, asparagus dip, and a seemingly endless supply of corn chips (my Waterloo, damn you Tostitos!). Lime wedges everywhere... Then came the fajitas for dinner, followed by apple crumble pie and (did I imagine it?) Creamsicle-flavoured ice cream.
No foodstuff was safe. Everyone left looking a little dishevelled and ashamed when they left. I tried to stay up a little later to digest but to no avail...
So now I have a food hangover. I know I'm supposed to vow that I'll never do it again - but seriously? Who would believe me?

Where did you find creamsicle ice cream?
Dunno...
It was Breyer's though - shouldn't be hard to find.
Who are the people in the picture, and what the HELL is he holding??
My uncle Nazzareno and his wife Franca. This was in the late 50s - before they were married.
He's holding Calimero! http://www.calimero.com/
Hm. I thought it was some sort of Italian golliwog.
I don't know much about Calimero. I'm just hoping that in this case, a black egg is just a black egg :)
