FAGIANO SURGELATO

ohhhhh goshhhhhh!!!!!! now what?????

I have just had to maneuver a freshly-frozen pheasant into the freezer. its legs were sticking out and i could actually feel its wings. its head and beak were on the left-hand side as i pressed it diagonally into the last level of the freezer. no, the rack would not come out far enough for me to simply drop it in there, i actually had to press it in. and then the next thing i know, as i am frantically trying to put the shelf back in place, the amaro bottle has jammed underneath it, so i have to repeat the operation again, jiggling the bottle from beneath the bird.

now i feel like i might actually need to down the contents of the bottle to stop myself from wanting to throw up...

(for the practical details, Gian-Carlo - on of the owners of the restaurant downstairs and a keen hunter - gave me the bird because Cristian gave him a sausage). is there anything else i can add??


The ultimate aim...

THE EXORCIST

In comparison, the projectile vomiting skills of Linda Blair who played the child in "The Exorcist" or Monty Python's Mr Creosote are unremarkable. I would have won an award this week as I dashed desperately up and down the living room, unable to reach the bathroom before the worst happened...

Who said that tummy bugs were fun? I would just add that being is sick is great for the abs :)
