Nooooooo!
I have just learned that I may be allergic to wine. So much for the V. Sattui membership. I woke up this morning with a rash on my face that looks kinda like sun poisoning (impossible because a. I wear sunscreen compulsively and b. it's been overcast all week), so naturally, I did what any lazy hypochondriac does: I looked it up on the Internet. I had noticed that my asthma was worse after drinking wine, but I thought that it was related more to talking and laughing (which tends to accompany wine). Alas, no. The sulfites and histamines, particularly in red wine, apparently cause rashes and bring on asthma attacks.
Why can't I be allergic to Jell-O or crocodile teeth? Why vino? Why?!
Less traumatically, but still food-related, I won a solitary game of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen last week. Those bastards crumbled under the sheer force of my will...and my molars.
