Spinning

[clevermanka]

I went to see Mikell Adams last night, after over ten days with The Headache. I felt better immediately. I have got to remember next time to just go see the chiropractor as soon as I feel one coming on. I could've had some significantly more productive days if I hadn't been swinging between pain and vertigo every few hours.

In fact, I felt good enough to try making mayonnaise. Finally. Thanks to Melissa Joulwan's fantastic and simple mayo recipe, mine came out perfect. Perfect. It is one of the most delicious things I've ever made, and it was so easy! Tuna salad and deviled eggs are back on the menu!

It's just after 9:00 am and I'm still in my robe, on the couch, contemplating going back to bed. Antibiotics + That Time of the Month =/= Happy Gut Time. =( I'm pretty miserable. This is getting ridiculous. Four more days on the antibiotics.

Despite my current fragility, I am still going to this event tonight at Spencer Art Museum. I think it will be beautiful and calming.

In other cooking news, I might have found a carnitas recipe that rivals mine. Going to try it with the pork shoulder I've currently got in the freezer. Maybe next weekend.

Boo--I'm working from home today and will be heading out to register my car in the afternoon. If you see this and need anything, let me know. I could drop it by.

And carnitas sound good.

Thank you for the offer! I think I'll be able to go out for some more Pepto Bismol in an hour or so. The trick is not eating anything. =/

Tuna salad and deviled eggs, omy!

I have a small container of duckfat.. guess what it's going to be? :)
Did you make yours in the Vita-Mix or hand-mix it?

And I'm so glad you are feeling better, headache-wise, but boo for the antib's. This better help, dammit.

Damn, I wish I didn't have a conference call tonight, I would LOVE to go see that. Ah well, next time, I hope.

I was worried that I'd lose too much of the mixture in the Vitamix (I hate that you can't pop out the blades for food removal). So I used my little baby Cuisinart two-cup processor. Kind of a PITA to hold down the CHOP button for three minutes, but oh well.

Oh good idea! I can do that.

Also, the baby Cuisinart has those little drip holes in the lid, which makes drizzling in the oil a snap.
