Long ago, it seems so long ago - how young and innocent we were!
Urgh. I've been sick all day. I had to go to the teacher's luncheon (because NHS was hosting it) and I wasn't feeling well. I got back and slept a few hours, then rushed down the ladder and was glued to my toilet for a few hours after that. I'd forgotten how bad it feels to throw up. DX
Anyway, I'm feeling a bit better now. I think it's just my body hates me and I'll have to strike pizza off the list of foods I can eat. Let's tally it up, shall we?
Foods I Can't Eat:
anything Mexican
anything Asian
anything spicy
anything with MSGs (a salt-based preservative, found in nearly all Asian foods, Mexican foods, snack foods, even Cheetos!)
anything with caffeine (except tea, for some strange reason)
almost anything greasy (one notable exception would seem to be fried chicken, but that's probably because that's the last outward sign I am Southern, except perhaps for my love of tea)
restaurant pizza
colas (I know that's not a food, but in combination with the no caffeine rule it means that basically all I can drink is tea, water, and lemonade)
And while I'm on the subject, I have currently developed a rabid addiction to tea. I'm going to die in New York, because to Yankees, tea = a hot, unsweetened drink brewed on an individual basis from tea leaves in various colors served in a tea cup. Here in the South, tea = an ice-cold, sweetened drink brewed in mass quantities from black tea leaves served in a tall glass.
