not again
I’m headed to the ER, kids. If I’m lucky, I will be able to catch a live feed of the DNC while I wait my ass off for someone to come poke and prod me every hour and tell me they don’t know what’s wrong – just like the last time. heeee! [Yup! That’s sarcasm, for the sarcasm-impaired.] In the meantime, stay off the streets.
[Edit 12:30 am] Looks like I have a date with surgery in the morning. Hey, at least we now know the culprit. So long appendix!

Take care, Jen. Oops. I mean, Lady Deathstrike/Badass Ripchick! This sounds really corny but I hope everything will be okay.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
August 28th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
:( I noticed you’d not been about for a while. Take it easy.
August 28th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
The streets are where the fun is. When there is street food of course.
Get back soon, I need some more inspiration!
August 28th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Hope to see you again soon – best wishes!
August 28th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Oh, good luck at the ER! And let’s hope you get to watch the National Convention–it’s going to be a great night. ;-)
August 28th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Jen, go beat the crap out of whatever it is that is trying to bug you! Seriously, I’m wishing you well and hoping that we hear from you soon.
August 28th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Best Wishes to you Jen. Hope everything will be well!!
August 28th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Ack! Be well.
August 28th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I adore your blog (and your sarcasm). Best wishes to a speedy recovery!
August 28th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Jen,
I am an older Dem not so fond of the way it’s gone the last years with them and I am not a Clinton fan after voting for him. I was a Bobby Kennedy maniac and thought the Dems lost their way….leave all that aside and of course, there is much more. I have become so taken with your website, your great appreciation of pure, great cooking, and your mountain photos are my inspiration. I am from Boulder, lost my only and much younger sister and loved your wonderful writing about that emotion.
I truly hope you will be fine, I am praying for you and look forward to some more kickass commentary about fine cooking, etc.
August 28th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
I swear you always one up me. I only went to Urgent Care this week. I should have known something would go wrong with you…we seem to share that “good” luck that way.
Get better my dear!
August 28th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Oh no. I hope everthing turns out okay. I’m thinking of you and sending big hugs and good vibes. Come back soon.
August 28th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I am sending you good vibes — from someone who has been reading and loving up your recipes, photos and stories for about a year but never commented before. Here’s some positive vibes coming your way from Washington, DC (but really from on vacation in Outer Banks, NC).
August 28th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Dear Lady Deathstrike,
We all know that you are too ornery for some illness to keep you down. You will beat this and come out stronger for it. ;)
But Really, I hope you are back home and on the mend soon
Know that we (I speak for all your readers without their permission, sorry y’all ;) ) will be keeping you and your health in the our thoughts. We will be checking back here regularly looking for an update.
God bless you and keep you strong,
Elizabeth

August 28th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Holy shit. Whn you didn’t post for that many days, I start feeling a bad omen. You are always in my thoughts. I’m sure everything will turn out fine. You rock, remember?! Big hugs :D
August 28th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Good Luck Jen! (Ripchick)
Your blog is truly the BEST for photos and content.
August 28th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Jen-Here’s to a quick recovery and back to your beautiful photography and awesome blog! Best wishes! Lezel S
August 28th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Hope all is well at the ER. It was surreal driving in Denver tonight, I25 was so quiet with the closures. Plus there were SO many secret service SUVs out there.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I was thinking about you yesterday, wondering why you didn’t post for quite a while and hoping that you were fine :(
Get better soon, Jen…the world needs you and your fantastic blog! :D
All my best wishes for a quick recovery!
August 28th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I’m crossing all the fingers that can be crossed, can’t wait for your next post that says you’re ok …

Please take care. I hope everything’s OK.
August 29th, 2008 at 12:02 am

Holy Shnykees!! I hope you mend quickly. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts.
August 29th, 2008 at 1:47 am
I follow your blog and I love your food, your sarcasm and your energy. So I’m sending good vibes all the way from Bilbao, Spain. Good luck and get well soon!

August 29th, 2008 at 4:01 am
xxxxxxxxx you rock
August 29th, 2008 at 4:38 am
Quick recovery wishes. I volunteered to have my appendix taken out if it meant I could lose twenty pounds….but the doctor said for that to happen they’d have to remove my head, too.
August 29th, 2008 at 4:40 am

August 29th, 2008 at 4:41 am

August 29th, 2008 at 5:32 am

August 29th, 2008 at 6:07 am
Appendix, oh the relief. They took mine out in Portugal along with the C. Take care and I hope you feel better real soon. Hugs.
August 29th, 2008 at 6:54 am
All the best to you, after what you’ve been through, this is a piece of cake! I’m looking forward to seeing your sassy self back on this blog. As for the appendix, trust me…you’ll never miss it. :-)
August 29th, 2008 at 7:11 am
Who needs an appendix anyway ;) Good luck in the operating room!
August 29th, 2008 at 7:21 am

August 29th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Oh no!! So sorry about the appendix!! Feel better soon!
August 29th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Appendix?!?! Geez.
Have you read “God Said ‘Ha!'” ? I’m seeing some parallels.
August 29th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Jeez Jen,
I don’t like the sound of that. Please feel better soon, and get your butt back where it belongs! Your blog rocks, but more importantly, we care about you.

August 29th, 2008 at 11:12 am
Hope all is well real soon!!!
August 29th, 2008 at 11:26 am
I know you’ll be back to feeling better soon. If the big C can’t get you down, what’s a little bitty appendix got!?!? Love and best wishes to you!

August 29th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Hope you’re back up & kicking ass soon! I know you will be!
August 29th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Good luck with the surgery! I said a huge Phew! when I read that it was your appendix. Hope you aren’t in too much pain. Hugs!
August 29th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I hope you have a speedy recovery! Dumb appendixes. What good do they bring to this world anyway?
August 29th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Good luck – I hope you are doing alright!!! At least you can rest easy knowing Obama kicked ass (though what the hell is up with McCain’s VP pick, ugh!)
August 29th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Well get that nasty appendix out! It is so time for you to have a boring normal not much going on healthy body. Get back to pix, cooking, rants, eating, traveling – the fun stuff. Be well!
August 29th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Mine’s out, ruptured years ago and thank goodness it’s out! Hope you feel 100 times better soon!
August 29th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Damn! Like Gilda says, It’s Always Something.
August 29th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Speedy recovery Jen!
August 29th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Best wished and adios to a useless organ!
August 29th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
OUCH!
Speedy recovery being wished for you, Jen. Kick that appendix out the door … here, use my cowboy boot.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Hope you’re doing well. Thinking about you and sending hugs and tail wags.
Katie and Arnie
August 29th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Oh man. Best wishes. Stupid appendix! You don’t need that jerk anyway.
August 30th, 2008 at 1:59 am
(((((((Jen))))))))
Hope all is well.
xoxo
August 30th, 2008 at 5:01 am
What the $#!&…I was wondering if something was up..Hope you feel better soon :)
Hope you did not miss the live feed of the convention..
August 30th, 2008 at 5:29 am
I keep checking back to see how you are doing. I am relieved to see that you are going to be okay. Had mine out too. Man that hurts!
August 30th, 2008 at 8:13 am
appendix? We don’t need no stinking appendix.
Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery.
August 30th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Oh man, feel better soon!
August 30th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Fucking appendix!
August 30th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Lady Deathstrike:
Who needs a stupid appendix. It just drinks your beer and leaves the towels on the floor, anyway.
You inspired me to rant tonight, when a recipe turned out to suck, suck, suck. Come back soon – this is my favorite food blog.
