Apparently mussels make me very sick these days. If scallops turn on me, life will lose a bit of luster. What if I am 'intolerant' of all shellfish now?! THE HORROR! Shellfish are a surefire food indulgence of mine, handed down through my mother who would remind me how lucky I was to get them on those once or twice a year special occassions, when we went to the likes of Phillip's on our beach vacations. Shellfish are pure decadance compared to the likes of hot dogs, mash potatoes (said like potatuhs) and hamburger helper, which were staples of my childhood diet. Anyway, I should have known there was something VERY WRONG about an $8 heaping bowl of curried mussels. Decadance is not that cheap!
Now, I am paying the full price with acute discomfort. OR I indeed have a food intolerance, which is thankfully not a full-blown allergy with the rashes and awfulness of having one's throat close up. I spent much of the day flopping about on the futon with a ton of blankets piled on, trying to sweat out whatever evil I had ingested with last night's mussels in spicy green curry sauce.
Aside from all this I have been feeling especially worn out lately. Very stressed and disappointed about a lot of things.
