Gross @ MindSay

So last night I perused The ultimate ice cream book : over 500 ice creams, sorbets, granitas, drinks, and more by Bruce Weinstein.

I think I came across two of the grossest sounding recipes and I'm not even close to finishing the book yet.

One was for avocado ice cream. One of the reasons it made me feel sick is that I'm allergic to avocados. Regardless, I'm not sure I'd ever want to make that flavor.

The second one was for apple ice cream. At the end of the recipe, the author listed about ten different ways to vary the results. One suggestion was to add CHEDDAR CHEESE.  So...cheddar/apple ice cream.

I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things I bought before reading the book:
caramel sauce
chocolate sauce
macadamia nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I highly anticipate receiving the red ice cream machine.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm hungry, but I can't find the willpower to get up and get something to eat. So then I just don't get hungry anymore. I have an incredible headache right now, in fact I've probably eaten more tylenol in the past 48 hours than food. I haven't left my room more than 4 times in the past 48 hours.  I actually have class tomorrow, which means that I will have to go outside and face the real world. But then I'm done for the week again. Apparently Monday was some sort of holiday and we didn't have classes, while I only have classes on Monday and Wednesday each week, so I had a full week of nothing. And then one day of classes, and then another four days of nothing this week. So basically I'm doing nothing right now. Haven't done anything, haven't eaten, haven't felt the motivation to leave.

Oh also haven't showered in a bout a week. Since I haven't had anywhere to go or people to see I've just been loafing around. I really hate myself for this. On good days I like to wear cologne and feel fresh and clean, but that hasn't happened in about a month. I tend to go through phases of absolute grunge to fresh and clean. I haven't shave for a month now and I've got a gross mustache and neck beard. My hair is getting long too and that's not helping my appearance. I'm pretty sure that someday this week I'll have my cleaning up ceremony where I actually take a shower, clean my face, shave, wear clean clothes, and not look like a tramp.

Maybe this is all because I've been abnormally depressed lately. More so than I've ever been before. I just don't care about things anymore. I know I'm depressed, but I'm just riding it out.

For absolutely no good reason, I decided to check this out before work.

And yes, I watched the videos.

I have one absolutely gorgeous girlfriend who really gets into this sort of thing. She has this inexplicable fascination with some of nature's most bizarre and terrifying creatures.

Then there's me. After that first one, my desire to visit Japan has just about vanished.

After all five, I don't think I'll be eating today.

Ok, this is gross--you've been forwarned! I got the kiddos a pirate themed cake on Friday that I ordered from Sam's, and it had black icing on the edges. I mean, it was BLACK icing--so heavily pigmented that the kids and I all ended up with black teeth and lips after eating it. In hindsight, that should have been a clue...anyway, I got home about three and almost immediately got really sick. Here's the gross part: my diarrhea was purplish-greenish-black, all from that damn icing, for the next 24 hrs. BLECK! Even worse, there have been some bizarre...dye issues on parts of my body that we just won't discuss, thank you very much! I've been hoping to god that this was just me and the cake wasn't poisoned or something, since the last thing I need is half of my students ending up in the hospital for severe black diarrhea. I can just see it now: " Well, yes, Officer, I DID feed the children the cake with the diarrhea-inducing frosting, but I SWEAR I didn't know what would happen...". (playing: 'Where You Gonna Go', Toby Keith) Oh my, it's been over a week since I've written--far too busy soaking up as much time with Jay as I can to do much of anything else. Like, uh, laundry, groceries, reading, writing...it's bizarre, but sometimes when he's around I go into this bizarre semi-comatose state where everything except him is concerned. This is because I kinow that my time with him is so limited; as of right now, he'll be leaving for China on June 3. It's good that he's doing what he wants to, but...is it really REALLY wrong that I was inwardly ecstatic when he had problems at the passport office on Friday, and they told him he may not be able to leave until July 1-ish? Oh, I'm a bad, bad girl. He has been very sweet with me being all sick. Even went to Wal-Mart to buy me Gatorade and crackers today...which, sadly enough, is probably one of the nicest thing any guy's ever done for me before. I'm not sure what's worse about that--that being a kinda pathetic light on my ex, or that it made me kinda weepy thinking about it. Hmm. Well, my fever must be spiking again, 'cause that sentence makes no sense whatsoever but I have no idea how to fix it.
