My labret stud is made of plastic or acrylic. This is good because it weighs less than steel and is soft, so the potential for damaging gums and teeth is lessened. However, this is BAD because I cannot have plastic in my mouth without chewing on it. I have successfully bitten THROUGH the labret stud, and now have a pokey thing in my mouth with no way to reattach it. None of the downtown piercing shops are open yet, so I am sitting here and not moving my mouth at all or the stud will fall out and that would suck. I am dumb. How dumb, you ask? Read on:
Last week we stocked up on delicious pastas courtesy of the Italian supermarket. One of the things we bought was some lobster and crab ravioli, because seafood is awesome and pasta is awesome and the two together can be nothing less than double awesome. It was decided that Tuesday night would be seafood pasta night, so I did some thinking as to what sort of sauce would best compliment our fancy raviolis. We eat all our pastas with an assortment of tomato sauces, so it was decided that perhaps an alfredo sauce would be interesting to try. I went out and bought some different cream sauces, set about making some dinner, and greatly anticipated an explosion of flavour.
It wasn’t until AFTER dinner was on the table and I was surprisingly unenthusiastic about it all that I remembered that I *hate* alfredo sauce – in fact, cream sauces of any kind tend to make me retch. I couldn’t eat my dinner at all. Ed seemed to enjoy it, but that was of little comfort to me and my empty bellies.
I am not as smart as I would like to think.
I am thinking about using Scotch Tape to hold my piercing in.

Italians, in general, won’t use strong-flavored sauce on seafood dishes…it overpowers the subtle flavor of most seafood. Lemon, butter, a herb or two (parsley is nice)…generally suffices.
Tomato and/or cream/cheese sauces = 8(
In my professional opinion, I agree. :) Next time try a little reduced chicken stock, some cold butter, salt, pepper, and some chopped herbs. Parsley, and just about anything else green. if you are feeling like something different, try fennel (this is growing everywhere right now) or tarragon. No cheese! Save that for the salad. Not only does this make a great sauce, but it’s hella quick and cheap. Also, whatever you do, do not rinse your pasta after it’s cooked. All that starch is what makes the sauce.
I will eat any alfredo pasta that you do not want.
I’m so jealous/annoyed/surprised with/by you! First, I find out you have the tattoo I was planning on getting next – in the same spot no less! What are the chances of that?! Now, you’ve got the piercing I had wanted to get about a year and a half ago, but didn’t after someone told me of potential gum and tooth issues… let’s chalk it up to great minds thinking alike? Or, I could get both done anyway and start some sorta Girls Who Love Scooters and Tattoos and Piercings Club. :P Also, we will be wearing the Purl Necklaces, lol.
Oh, yeah, girls who love scooters, tattoos and piercings. Sounds like a real exclusive club. :)
ps. that also sounds hot.
