I'm sick. I have caught LaTroublemaker's "Evian" flu. It started the morning before yesterday with a scratchy throat, and by the time I came home from HH last night (after ONE drink - seriously, I attained the mythical goal of only having ONE drink!!) I had degenerated into a sneezing, coughing, mucous-y mess, complete with that whole chills/fever business.
I don't want food. I don't want anything to drink. I want to sleep, but I can't. I don't know why, but I can't fall asleep. So instead I'm watching Full House and seeing who out there in blogland is around this weekend.
What are yinz healthy guys eating this weekend?

EVERYONE is sick lately. What is going on? You need to get better soon HT, I want you in prime form when you are here next weekend. Get some Zicam and I swear by Ricola cough drops.
I was supposed to go to the Gin Mill with Rico this morning to watch the MSU/Illinois game, but I had my Christmas party last night and got wasted and couldn't bring myself to go to the bar for an 11:00 game. I also have a TON of work to do for school, and need to be sober and well rested and work hard. So I slept in and have been watching the game at home.
I'm eating a salad I made. I make the greatest salads ever, they are like art. This one is finely shredded napa cabbage, red peppers, mandarin oranges, snow peas, chow mein noodles, chicken breast, shredded pickled ginger and a sesame/soy/ginger dressing. So good.
I need to go to the bank and deposit some checks and then go to my office and print a million journal articles for my research paper because I don't have a printer at home. And then I am staying in tonight and working.
Even thinking about making food makes me tired. I don't have any Zicam, and I can't imagine trying to leave the house to get some. However, I've got some kind of cold pills that I'm taking. I seem to remember seeing some Emergen-C in a cabinet the other day, but I don't know if that helps if you're already knocking on death's door.
BLECCH! How do people drink this shit?! We have similar stuff in Hungary, but it's awesome. It comes in tubes of tablets that make the water yummy and fizzy. This shit blows. Eff Emergen-C.
I'm going to go back to my old cure-all: hot whiskey with lemon.
I'm eating froot loops. I love fruity kids cereal.
I just watched 2 hours of midgets. I think it's time to go to sleep though. One more hot whiskey and then nighty night.
What a miserable way to spend a weekend. Thank God for midgets.
up late and blogging. i went and saw a free showing of murder ball (aka monster ball..HT knows what i'm talking about) anyway, it was the best free movie i've seen this year. well, it's also the only free one that i've seen this year.
zinc, zinc, zinc, water, sleep sleep, water, sleep. that's formula.
i miss you all! hope your weekends are going well. i think i may even venture to morning yoga tomorrow....unless the BBC calls....
I feel better today. Not good, but better.
I don't buy into the zinc hype. I take pills with chemicals in them and drink hot whiskey. I will be almost good as new tomorrow!
I am writing my research paper for this asshole class, and I am reminded that there are few things more funny than Holocaust revisionisits. Those silly Nazi's. They were just playing. Why is everyone getting so upset?
I just ate some grits with melted butter and two poached eggs on top. I'm thinking a second pot of coffee would be good right about now.
I can't get into grits. I've tried. Really, really tried. High end, low end, cheesy, what have you. Can't get past the texture.
I'm feeling almost good enough to go bra shopping, but I'm not going to. One more day sipping hot whiskey, popping cold pills and watching some ridiculous show called "Beautiful People" on ABC Family and I'll be good as new, and will try to hit the mall this week.
I still don't feel like eating though. But I have food on the verge of going bad, so I may do some cooking later, for the rest of the week.
Do you have an egg poacher, or do you approach it the old fashioned way and deal with the mess?
I love, love, love grits. Love them. I poach eggs the old fashioned way in a small frying pan. The key is to have the water barely simmering.
Went to Parkway Deli and got a chicken salad BLT w/swiss on multi-grain toast with a side of potato salad.
I am in favor of grits.
Jo - TT is upset that she was not included in Parkway endeavors.
Can't do grits. I can even do Scrapple. But, I can't do grits.
I do poached eggs the messy way; in a boiling pot o' water. They're my fave.
apparently you can do poached eggs in custard cups and let them boil in the water and they come out perfect. i poached an egg the old fashioned way once, and the mess annoyed me. i haven't honed that skill.
i used to think grits were gross, but now i love them. my ex got me into them. (again, the sweet spot for those southern men) but they have to have A LOT of salt and butter. throw some cheese in there and really you just have a vehicle for fatty goodness.
yeah, i bitched jo out for not letting me in on the jewish brekkies at prkwy deli. i had to go with someone else. i had a kosher sub with 2 latkes on the side. those latkes are the best i've ever had.
i also brought back some pickled tomatoes from the complimentary pickle bar. and i also ate 6 while i waited for my food.
I want a hot whiskey right now. I need to go to bed, but sleep is elusive. Mmmmmmmmm, forbidden sleep.
