Tryptophan Nightmares

That time of year again, eat a huge meal including turkey and stuffing. It happens three times a year for me. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now Easter. Before I got married, we didn't really have a turkey for Easter. Also, now I have two Thanksgiving dinners and several Christmas dinners to attend so I pretty much get my fill. Considering I don't really like Turkey all that much, I still eat a lot of it.

I find it slightly amusing to eat food that will essentially poison you into sleep. Like 'shrooms poisoning your brain to make funny colours, Turkey has the ability to make you drowsy. Now most people know this, but some attribute the drowsyness to having just eaten a large meal. But I have had many large meals which substituted a chicken or roast beef for turkey, and I don't feel that groggy after eating them.

People always stuff their faces at these dinners. It's a good thing we aren't like the old romans with their vomitoriums. Eat, puke and be merry. I have a feeling that Turkey doesn't need to be seen in a post consumed format.

Well with that visual in mind, I am off to have Turkey dinner number two, I will need to refrain from eating for the next week to work off all the food that has been consumed over the weekend.
