People are taking turns bringing over dinner to be helpful while Betsy
recovers. My sister was bringing lasagna, and announced beforehand
that she was making a separate one for me w/o noodles. When she
arrived, she announced that she has used spaghetti squash instead of
the noodles. Why the F--k hadn't she just left out the noodles and
not put in goddamned SQUASH. I told her that I wouldn't eat such a
thing. It's OK anyway, since I had already had a big lunch, 3 duck
wings and some of my wife's cashew chicken. The cashew chicken had
cornstarch in it, so by my rules I had to go to the gym and do one set
of at least 10 reps on all 18 machines, with enough weight that it
hurt. I figure if I eat too much carb, I burn it off right away
before my body gets a chance to know it's there. Kinda like feeding a
stray dog, in that I don't want my body to start expecting excess
glucose. I still have 3 more duck wings left.
