even emeril doesn't get salmonella

any of you near and dear to me wondering why i've been M.I.A.?  no?  okay, fine.  wishful thinking on my part.  for those of you not wondering, i'm going to tell you anyways.  lucky you.  friday night, i hung out with a couple of my best friends from college.  my friend, sara, was cooking dinner for a few of us - and being the greatest best friend that i am - i offered to help her with the chicken.  chicken is one of the few things i'm good at cooking.  i was handling raw chicken meat and thought i washed my hands very thoroughly because i'm so obsessive-compulsive about washing my hands.  still, they obviously were not washed thoroughly enough...

i have had salmonella food poisoning and am still getting over it.  let's just say i woke up yesterday morning having an asthma attack and had a low-grade fever... shortly there after i began projectile linda blair exorcist style vomiting all.freaking.day.  i didn't even know there was that many fluids in the human body.  it was gross.  i ended up having to go to the ER last night because my fever was really high and would go down and i couldn't keep any liquids down.  slowly but surely i'm getting better and i'll be back in the blogosphere in no time!
