From Nostalgia to Nausea
When I was a little girl, we had been in Canada maybe a year, perhaps two, (I was six-ish), we sometimes would drive home after visiting relatives and then my sister and I would beg my dad to stop at the A & W drive-in on the way home so we could get teen burgers. No doubt they made me feel grown up (the name); and I think they taste as good now as I remember them tasting then (okay, almost as good).
Today, my husband and I were contemplating what to have for lunch -- always a conundrum because though I like some fast food, (e.g., burgers from A & W or from FatBurger, sandwiches from Subway), I really resist eating anything greasy because it just makes me feel sick, plain and simple. So there we were at A & W. While I used the loo, Mr. P was checking out the menu and decided on the Chubby Chicken. They didn't have any available because they had just gotten a big order for CC and so we were told it would be about 20 minutes to a half hour wait. So we opted for burgers, but Mr. P had had his mind so much on the Chubby Chicken that he ordered some (15 pieces!!) to go. Well, I think the burger went over okay, but the fries (dammit, I should know better, I DO know better) and the two or three pieces of chicken I had over the course of the day did NOT go over and I am now officially sworn off ANYTHING deep fried. How disgusting is that stuff, anyway? I've been sick all night. I just had some fruit and yoghurt (the only decent nutrition I've had all day) and I have to say it made me feel a little better. But, yeah. No more CHUBBY CHICKEN! Sigh. Things just aren't the way they were when I was six.
Better News
We have finally finished the weeding, feeding, rolling, and seeding of the space in the garden, affectionally dubbed "Patch" which will soon be all grass! Our yard will look at least twice as big, but now it's an endless watering job. That's okay, though. It will look good when it's all done.
That's all for now. Last day of holidays tomorrow, then back to work, though things don't really get motoring until about the 11th of September. Hope you're all having a terrific summer.

Ah! What's with you pukey people? Doris at Grans On Bran has been doing a bit of that, too, also self-inflicted, she was smoking cigars.. lol
Hope you're feeling better by now.
I swear by Pepto Bismol. I chug that stuff when I need to. It works miracles..
As a practicing vegetarian I can say "Come over to the light side" :-)
Hope you're feeling better.
