Well, now I know how to recognize when fish has gone bad ...

The sushi did, in fact, disagree with me. The sushi disagreed with me violently. The sushi disagreed with me like Thomas a Beckett disagreed with King Henry II, like Democrats disagree with Republicans, like Red Sox fans disagree with Yankee fans.

The sushi chose to disagree with me shortly before I had to go and pick up books from the head of my department: through a valiant effort of the sort unheralded since the victories of Charlemagne, I managed to refrain from vomiting at her feet.
Victory is mine!

However, in the time spent weaving to the office and back, I did manage to achieve a valuable result: I composed a haiku.

The salmon roll dials
God on the porcelain phone
"Order not the fish."

Oh, awful! Hope you have a quick recovery! Are you at least going to give yourself the pleasure of calling up the sushi place and bitching? Or are you a nicer person than I would be in your situation?

Thanks! :)

I haven't quite decided ... not out of niceness, heaven forfend, but out of curiousity as to whether or not it will be worth it. I order (well, used to order) from this place quite a lot: I'm pretty sure once my current hatered for all things salmon-based fades, I'll give into the temptation to do it again, as it's the only sushi place in Morningside. I'd rather that they didn't send me the salmonella salmon again, this time *on purpose* ... On the other side of the coin, I'd like to be sure that they don't do it by accident either. Decisions, decisions ...

I'll figure it out tomorrow. Hopefully on a clear head and a full stomach ...

I'm sorry you got so sick! That's horrible!

I've had nasty experiences with sushi, too. My general rule is that if there is even the slightest shade of doubt, don't eat it.

I hope you're feeling better!

*Hugs*


[BTW: If you're still feeling nauseated, I recommend ginger tea.]

Thanks, darlin'! I'm feeling better today, happily - lacking ginger, I went with chamomile. Gods bless tea ...
