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

  2. jennywenny says:

    :( I noticed you’d not been about for a while. Take it easy.

  3. Lori says:

    The streets are where the fun is. When there is street food of course.

    Get back soon, I need some more inspiration!

  4. Taryn says:

    Hope to see you again soon – best wishes!

  5. Chris says:

    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. ;-)

  6. Margie says:

    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.

  7. Gertrude says:

    Best Wishes to you Jen. Hope everything will be well!!

  8. Kitt says:

    Ack! Be well.

  9. Kimberly says:

  10. Susan says:

    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.

  11. peabody says:

    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!

  12. Susan at StickyGooeyCreamyChewy says:

    Oh no. I hope everthing turns out okay. I’m thinking of you and sending big hugs and good vibes. Come back soon.

  13. Emily says:

    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).

  14. Elizabeth says:

    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.

    Fiona
