Chow, Bella / Confessions

I love Italy, but it's making me eat in quantities I wouldn't normally allow myself to consume (unless it's finals week).

Also, I have to make a confession -- two actually.

1. When I was on the boat in Cannes, the chef spiked my mushroom sauce with bacon one night, and I've been unabashedly eating pig ever since. It's hard not to in Italy.

2. Although I claimed that I wouldn't be trying a Neti pot in a previous post, I have to admit that I did, in fact, try it shortly after posting that creepy video. And now that I'm sick (again! Damn you, Heathrow Airport!), I will probably buy the first Neti pot I come across. Does anyone know how to ask for one in French?

That's all for now. Pictures are coming.

Neti Pot Video

This is vaguely pornographic; something about the insertion of the pot into the nose and then the water slowly leaking out ... I don't know. Very strange.


I came across this while searching for something to alleviate the symptoms of my ear-splittingly, nose-runningly, rip-roaring bitch of a cold. But even though I've tried a lot of stuff, I don't think I'll be trying this.
