« Pinto beans and Spanish rice | On dinner in a box, among other things »
Today I was deeply uninterested in cooking (which, by the way, in case you were laboring under any illusions on this point, happens perfectly often, I just usually remain silent on those occasions, at least here; in real life I can often be heard moaning and groaning about it) so I persuaded S. that takeout Vietnamese (again! again!) would be a good idea. And indeed it was, but now I am so full I may never move again. And, alas, I have been suddenly visited with a vision of my own stomach as a haggis, packed tight with oatmealy stuffing as dense as dense can be. Will I ever move again? Tune in for the next exciting episode to find out.
In actual fact, I will take care of this problem by burning a hole through the haggis of my belly with a good, serious drink.
On a point completely unrelated to anything, I read this crazy story that had everyone laughing this week, and my reaction was to feel sorry for the blimp.
Now let me make a feeble attempt to pretend that the above confession is in some way relevant to this site by observing that the Hindenberg served such dainties as patés à la reine, Indian swallow nest soup, beef broth with marrow dumplings, and fattened duckling, Bavarian-style, with champagne cabbage. Perhaps when I grow up, I can be a Bavarian-style fattened duckling.
