Apparently bacon is vegetarian as long as it's a garnish. I must have missed that memo. I went to my work Christmas party last night. I have worked for this company for over three years and it's well known to the event planner that I'm a strict vegetarian. In past years it hasn't been an issue. This year there was bacon in the salad and the only vegetarian meal option was mushroom ravioli. I don't understand this misconception that all vegetarians like mushrooms. I can't stand them. The texture, the taste, the smell of them cooking, everything about them is gross to me. Needless to say I didn't really eat anything at this event except the desert. Which was good.

Earlier in the day I went out to do some final Christmas shopping and decided to stop at Starbucks for a soy chai because they make the best. Thanks for bringing on that craving TaoAndCoffee. So I sat there by myself drinking my chai...and forgot to eat. Then I didn't really eat at the Christmas party.

My friends and I have a tradition of going to a local bar after the Christmas party to joke and get drunk and blow off steam because we know the owner and he lets us hang out and be obnoxious. Last year one of his bartenders invented a drink called sexual healing. We have no idea what's in it but it's purple and tastes like kool aid and has almost no filler. We ordered a round of those, which are quite large. I drank half of mine before the food came and was nice and tipsy. It felt good. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I have really good friends. The best part, no hang over.
