Jen's Journal

I skipped last week’s post because I wanted to take a break for the holidays. Writing today only confirms how stressful it is to write this time of year. That’s why I write something fun and silly now.

So here it goes, foods I may never eat again:

• Powdered doughnuts. This was caused by food poisoning from Mole (Mexican dish), which I also can’t eat anymore. It’s unfair though because it wasn’t the powered doughnuts that made me sick but just the thought of them makes me gag!
• Hot chips. I’m actually quite upset about this one; although its no secret spicy snacks/food feel terrible on the way up. They were my favorite snacks as a kid and now I can’t finish half a bag without getting sick 😦
• Red wine. This one isn’t food but my worst hangover was the result of red wine. I threw up for about seven hours on this one. By the end of it I was just surprised I had anything left in me.
• Ginger and Peppermint. These two go together because they both occurred during an LSA trip. It is only the smell of ginger and peppermint that I can’t stand anymore. Someone suggested they help with the nausea you get from tripping and I ended up puking out my guts anyway.

I hope this post distracted you if you’re feeling stressed or just down right now. It was fun writing and letting these foods and smells go once and for all. I’ll try to get back to writing poetry next week. In the meantime, what are some foods/drinks/smells you can’t stand anymore for one reason or another?
