Either way, it's my own damned fault. My good friend Fran came over for dinner tonight and of course, I made one of my "old standby" dishes (Linguine with Shrimp & Scallops in Thai Green Curry Sauce), because I know we both love it.

The last time I made this dish, I burned the living daylights out of my mouth, so this time around I used about a third of the green curry paste and left out the peppers and it was great! Until an hour later, when my stomach started aching. I'm not usually one to get heartburn or sour stomach, but MY GOD do I feel like crap now. Even after taking some Maalox and drinking water and eating an English muffin. No dice. Still. feel. like. crap. ARGH.

So I don't know what the problem is. Maybe it's because I used bay scallops rather than sea scallops, or maybe it's because I used seafood rather than chicken (which is what I normally do because it's easier and cheaper). Or maybe my body was just screwed up anyway today and the green curry exacerbated it.

I haven't heard from Fran yet telling me she's sick, though, and dad seems to be fine as well, so my I can only assume that I am old. Definitely a sad state of affairs.
