What Did You Have For Dinner Tonight?

Yum. That sounds good.
While I have never liked alcohol, I just mixed myself a vodka and ginger ale. Reading The Ledge with a drink in hand is a first, for me. Oh, and one day shy of 3 months, I have to share... I no longer crave opiates, it's over. Actually, it's been a week now that I've been over it, and it feels so freeing. I quit 3 months ago after almost 8 years on a prescribed opiate 3 times a day, but it was only last week that I felt 'I don't care anymore, it's like I never was on them'. That was BIG.
Truly, I don't like alcohol enough to ever drink a lot. Never have liked it. I just want a little something, it's just how I am, and always have been. But now I know not to get what I like- just have a little vodka maybe twice a month, two drinks is my max.
Happily, I said 'no' to this other narcotic suggested that I try for a month to maintain this, called subutex, this week at my doctor's. No thank you. Didn't need it. Amazed and grateful.
OK, back to the food---tomorrow I'm cooking an old fashioned Commie dinner for my parents and I-- kilbosi, which they love and I hate, kraut, pierogi with grilled onions (which I love), and a small batch of the Hungarian nut pastry my Dad loves, though we aren't Hungarian, made with flour, eggs, sour creme and marzipan with sweet cream butter and sugar and light-brown sugar, chilled, rolled out and then shaped into crescents. I hate that part of the process. My mom is legally blind and her crescents still look better than mine do. Even now, she puts me to shame folding laundry, too. Guess I just can't fold. Oh well. Other than that, I'm great in the kitchen and laundry room!
Leftovers, if any, will be left for Dad after I leave their house. Good baked goods are not to be kept here at my house, overnight, I would wake up from a sound sleep and eat whatever was left and it'd be gone by noon. This vodka is kicking in. Nite

That's funny. I rarely take naps, maybe once a month...but when I awake from a nap, I MUST eat something. So it is written.
Congrats on the kicking in. I'm mixing a band now, Beck's Dark in hand, soon to be followed by a shot of Red Stag(or 3! ).

Poptarts. I'm too sick to leave my room so I had to eat whatever we had here.

[Nikolaj]

Which flavor of pop tarts, Danielle? I think the brown sugar cinammon are best, but have 7gms of fat per 'tart' whilst the chocolate, blueberry, strawberry and cherry only have 5 gms fat per 'tart'. Those 2 grams add up when you're looking at an empty box!

[daniellaaarisen]

They were raspberry! Delicious.

Sigh. Blueberry & strawberry Pop-Tarts are pretty much the only way I can eat fruit.

Oh, and daquiris.

Don't get me wrong - I want to like fruit. But for some reason, every time I try to eat real fruit, either my lips swell up all weird or my throat itches like freakin' crazy and it's just not worth it. I have no idea why. It happens the worst with apples, peaches, and certain types of melon like canteloupe & honeydew. I have the same problem with avocado, but to a much lesser degree, so I can still eat those.

Bananas don't do it, but I can't stand the way bananas feel, so I can't eat them. I can eat cooked fruit without the swelling or the itchy, but again, can't stand the way they feel, so that's out, too. I have texture issues. I'm like the world's tallest 4 year old.

But for dinner today, I had lamb shwarma. Cute Guitar Boy & I discovered this amazing place up the street that does Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Italian food, and they deliver. Score! I haven't had proper Middle Eastern food since I left Michigan lo these many years ago, so this is awesome.

Now if I could just find a local pizza place that doesn't use that nasty Provel "cheese," I'll be in business. Seriously - what on Earth are you trying to pull here, Saint Louis? I'm sorry, but that is not cheese. That is chemicals. And abomination.

that's just as bad as the "mexican" place in my hometown where they use american cheese on everything.

american. "cheese."

for dinner tonight i had some veggie lasagna (best veggie lasagna ever, it had zucchini and eggplant in it) and some sort of chicken pesto type thing.
