I Love Being Worshipped

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Who doesn’t love being worshipped? You’re lying if you say you don’t. We all love the attention. Fuck, what girl doesn’t love men falling at her feet when she walks past?! Okay, that has NEVER happened to me, but whatever. In the end, we all love being worshipped.

Except when it happens at an Indian restaurant.

At least that’s what I realized while dining on Indian food. I have been craving this stuff for weeks. Finally, a friend and I made plans to go last night.

I had on my “I’m feeling slightly puffy” uniform. This one consists of awesome leather boots, skinny leg jeans, a tight tank and a comfy, cozy, soft, long sweater. This combination holds me in and covers me up. It also allows me to eat lots of food.

I’m not the girl that has fat days. Well I do. But I rarely mention it. Mainly because I realize I’m the only one who notices and I don’t want the reassurance from others. Because saying I’m fat, bloated, puffy, enormous, etc will only cause others to say, “No you’re not, you look great…blah blah blah.”

Well, our waiter at the Indian food restaurant was really helpful with me. He was ultra attentive. Aside from the food being amazing, he had my wine glass filled, my plates cleared, my water topped off all night long all with a huge smile and cheerful banter. Basically he was treating me like a celebrity. I was on to him, he was worshipping me.

Then I realized why. He thought I was a cow.

Don’t Indians worship cows?

Bastard.

Wino Wednesday: The Most Awkward Cure

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

This Wino Wednesday post was inspired by drinking too much and curing a hangover.

I love bananas. If I could make it to the grocery store more often and keep these yellow things stocked in my house, I’d probably eat one everyday. But I learned the real reason my body craves them.

It’s a cure. For a hangover.

Eating bananas the morning after a night of heavy drinking provides lost electrolytes like any food would, but it also specifically replenishes the potassium lost to alcohol’s diuretic effect. Other potassium-rich foods such as kiwi fruit or sports drinks work just as well.

The above insert was found on an online article titled, How Hangovers Work (full article). Helpful tidbits for you drinkers. Really helpful.

Here’s my dilemma. The picture below illustrates precisely the reason this cure is awkward or uncomforable.

Quite frankly eating bananas resembles something else…

Scroll through the website if you’re into that stuff. And yes, it is safe for work. It’s a site that “cleans up” porn shots and it may make you laugh.

There’s a Hair in My Food

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I’ve heard of finding hair in food before. In fact, I have found hair in my food before. It is disgusting. And I think restaurants should make every reasonable effort to ensure it doesn’t happen.

But I would NEVER expect a restaurant to go through the pain and expense to keep hair out of food like this one did.

Poor little shrimp.

I had no idea shrimp had hair. But I’ve never looked at a shrimp naked. Well, I have but it was a guy who was, uhm sma…nevermind.

Am I the only one who automatically thinks of waxes when I hear or see the word Brazilian?
