I’m so tired right now, because I was up five times in the night. The culprit? A 10:00 PM Chinese food feast! (Why, oh, why do I give in to late night food cravings?!) Hungry Bear and I should’ve known better, but we just couldn’t resist heaping plates of chicken lo mein, fried dumplings, and beef skewers. Did I mention we also had my all-time favorite hot & sour soup? Yes, it tasted great, but the cost was way too high—hours of indigestion!
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but I just can’t eat heavy, greasy food like I did in my teens. I never sleep well on a full stomach anyway, but this experience was torture! I can remember my dad complaining about indigestion during my entire childhood. My sisters and I didn’t understand and the family joke was that he was addicted to Alka Seltzer. My dad is no longer living, but if he were, I would’ve called him to commiserate! I drank 2 Alka Seltzers myself around 3:00 AM, and it certainly wasn’t fun!
My stomach has nearly recovered, but I doubt I’ll be awake long enough to see the ball drop live tonight. As for my New Year’s Eve feast…well, I think tea and toast is about it.
Resolution for 2015: Never eat Chinese food before bed!
If you celebrate secular new year, have a wonderful time, don’t drink and drive, and please eat lightly! 🙂
I dealt poker in casinos for 14 years and 90% of the Asian players did not wash their hands after using the facilities. Please be careful choosing who cooks the food you eat.
OMG, that is frightening! Thank you so much for sharing. Scary!
Rick J’s comment is racist and wrong! Don’t talk crap about asians. I’m ashamed of The Jewish Lady for posting that.
Trina, I meant no disrespect to the Asian community. I don’t speak for Rick J, but I’m sure it wasn’t intended to be nasty. The comment policy here is very liberal; I want everyone to feel free to speak their minds—provided it’s not cruel. Sorry if you were offended.
It’s the God’s honest truth, how much time have you spent in Casino Men’s rooms Trina?
Rick J, I don’t have to go into a men’s room to know that you’re a racist. Why don;t you admit you have a problem with Asians?
Growing up Jewish in a Catholic state, I know first hand about religious and racial persecution. Not washing your hands after using the bathroom is extremely disgusting, but it doesn’t make you a bad person. Maybe in that part of the world, being digestive sick is part of everyday life. Maybe soap wasn’t readily available, no matter. I hope you have a Happy New Year in the hole your head is obviously buried in. You DO have to spend time in casino Men’s Rooms to prove I’m wrong. Enjoy your next buffet at Ming’s.
Rick seems hostile and Trina is overly sensitive.
I don’t like being accused of what I’m not (racist). I don’t judge anyone until I’ve heard or read something they’ve said or by their actions. Or in this case non-action.
