When you're used to eating very healthy, there are many reasons to continue eating very healthy.
Nachos grande with beans, cheese, chili, guacamole, sour cream and salsa looks so beautiful on the plate. The cheese is a beautiful sunset orange color, the guacamole brilliant pea green, flecked with red hints of the freshest garden tomatoes. The tricolor chips are so pretty, like a beautiful fourth of July pennant strung from your front porch. The bright white sour cream is almost angelic in appearance again the chunks of pungent chili. Have this feast on top of a couple of glasses of white zinfandel and magically, two hours later it all turns to hell...
You've transformed into Linda Blair, as you crawl upside down with your head spinning to the toilet. Your husband mistakes your moaning and groaning for affection, forgetting that the real reason you're saying "Oh God" is because you think you might just be on your deathbed. You're hoping that the priest that shows up at your bedside can give the last rites super fast because you've got to get to the hopper stat. That beautiful green guacamole pretty much comes up looking like it did going down.
There's no horror movie based on a mesclun salad, and that's what I'm ordering next time...
