California Crud
Brought back something unsavory from California - congested sinuses, sore throat, night sweats. Consequently, nothing too interesting is going in the belly of this beast. I don't really have an appetite (highly unusual occurrence). Although last night, those gloppy gooey chicken dishes on the Olive Garden commercial were looking pretty good. Lord, I must be sick. Give me a few days to swim to the surface of good health, and we'll get back to the good fun you've come to expect from Bitegeist. Maybe I'll whip up a recipe from one of the cookbooks Janet gave me and report my findings here. See Obsessions du Jour: A Bevy of Quirky Cookbooks.

About 300 people have reported becoming sick after eating at an Olive Garden restaurant in northeast Indianapolis, a spokesman for the Marion County Health Department told CNN on Friday.The customers became ill after eating at the restaurant between Saturday and Wednesday, said John Althardt. They have reported nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and, in some cases, fever, and three have been hospitalized, he said. Althardt said the health department hopes to start testing -- as early as Friday afternoon -- stool samples of the sick and leftovers that restaurant patrons took home. Results may be available in about 48 hours. Steve Coe, director of media relations for Olive Garden, said in a written statement that the company is "working closely with the local health department ... and will temporarily close the restaurant to give the health department a better opportunity to investigate this matter that may be tied to employees that recently had flu-like symptoms." "This is an isolated incident," he said. "There have been no related incidents reported at any other Olive Garden in the market or elsewhere."
"No related incidents." Even so ... glad I was too sick to partake. Taco Bell? Olive Garden? It's dangerous out there.
