Tummy Ache

Yesterday afternoon my tummy started bothering me and it just got worse over the course of today… since I’ve been eating very random foods in the hopes that it won’t upset my stomach, today isn’t going to be a regular blog post day.  I didn’t even eat dinner tonight because I knew my stomach couldn’t take it, plus I don’t really have much of an appetite.  Instead my dinner consisted of a smoothie while Bill ate a yummy tilapia dinner that I made for him.

My smoothie contained 1 cup frozen strawberries, almond milk, 1 tbsp pb, a banana, and 5 baby carrots.

Here’s the dinner I made for Bill… I sauteed two tilapia filets in chili powder, olive oil, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese for about 5 minutes on each side and made him some waffle “fries”.

Sorry for the blah post – I promise I’ll be back tomorrow in a better mood and hopefully my tummy will be too!  I hope this isn’t a long lasting stomach virus :(

Wing Bowl

This is what’s going on in my city today.  What is it?  Read here to find out the history.  Believe it or not, people here get so excited to find out the winner, that it’s almost like the superbowl!

There are even bets and odds predicted.

A few years ago (when I was working somewhere else), my boss has the competition streaming over the internet and radio.  In my opinion, the idea of gorging yourself with food for a competition, no matter what it is, is pretty gross!  Then again, I must confess to have competed in a pie-eating contest once or twice, but it was for a good cause, does that make it any better ;)
