Street Meat

Last night in Boulder I had me some "street meat"
It was quite possibly one of the best things ever. If you are in boulder late night, get the humdinger from the street meat guys. You will be glad you did. they were busy and there was a long line. I got very excited about my street meat and pretty soon the people in line were chanting "street meat" while waiting for our food. Very funny
I have learned that eating street meat always turns out to be yummy. I used to be very scared to try things that were made on the street, but i have a new policy. Get some
Especially while traveling, street meat in LA and new york is pretty awesome.
I know some of you will be grossed out by this but trust me, it is amazing

Scary Alcohol effects

Last night I had girls night with some of my really close friends. We gathered everyone despite the down pour of rain that hit Denver.

One of my best friends has Graves disease, an auto immune disease that affects her metabolism. She is so not a big drinker, compared to most people I know.
Long story short, she had about 3 drinks over the course of 4 hours and her body freaked. It was like she was slipped something, which we suspected until we got the blood tests back.

We got her home by piling her into a cab, got her into her house. A firetruck, an ambulance, two police cars later, we get her to the ER. It was so scary, she was moaning and didn't know where she was or what had happened.

what we learned is that, because of her metabolism issues, her body rapidly processed the alcohol in such a state her put her blood at .2, which is very high, comparable to a stupor drunk night in college. My poor friend who never has more than three drinks over the course of a night was shocked to have alcohol poisoning and an "altered mental state" due to her illness.

so scary. after an 4 1/2 hour ER visit and an iv later, she was much more alert and could come home. Makes you think of what alcohol really can do to your body.
