It's Always Something

Between last night and this morning tendinitis set in on my left leg, and does it ever hurt. I noticed it was acting up, but it's really kicked into high pain gear overnight. I am offically a member of the limping proletariat.

I had a party day yesterday, and I ate salumi, pizza, lots of bread, bread, and more bread, pasta, a couple of cannoli, a cappuccino, wine, whiskey, and last but not least, refer. I broke all my rules last night. I can't be a good boy all the time. I don't have a hangover, but I got a good case of the trots.

It's back to plan A today. I figured if it was the end the world what the fuck, plus my buddy Barry Gump is in town, I might as well have some fun. I never believed the world would come to an end today. Of course the day isn't over yet.

When I started this new direction in my blogging I failed to mention, but have in previous posts, that I am a weak man, especially when it comes to food. Bill Clinton claims to never have had a drink of alcohol in his life, never inhaled pot, but he fucked anything that wore a skirt. Everybody has a weakness and food and party time is mine.  Gotta let the dog out of his cage once in a while.

I don't know if I'm going to be logging five miles a day with this friggin leg. I'll be icing it down all day.

Back to the food. Barry's coming over today for lunch and I'm making a big Panzanella salad with sauteed marinated shrimp. Photos are included below. That's my blog for today, nice and simple. This is a great recipe, and a wonderful healthy lunch. Best of all it's easy to prepare. I made some modifications to suit my needs, and to move some product in the fridge. Can't have waist you know.
