48 hours fasting with only
beer to sustain me,
waking at 1am and quasi-dreaming
eating food for the past two nights...
armed with a bottle of whiskey...
tonight will be a feast to remember!
raw herring in sour cream sauce
made more so sour / piquant with gherkins
and granny smith apples:
now imagine the salivating effect this
might have on an empty stomach -
i might as well be thinking of drinking acetum
(acetic acid / white vinegar), to ensure
my stomach doesn't over-bulge from
the shrinking as byproduct of fasting...
acetic acid coupled
with hydrochloric acid in the stomach...
two acids, a bit of food... warring tribes of
acidity to ensure pleasant digestion.
