A question for the lovely and talented ms. L.

What would you say if I told you, ms. L., that I'd read your blog (like you, I often prowl the corners of the gomez online world). And then I told you I have questions, questions that pretty much boil down to "What's up with all the bad food?" I am struggling to understand that one thing you describe -- is it that you are more likely to blog around the time you are sick with food poisoning, or is there a remarkable amount of food poisoning in your world? (I've knelt at the throne too, don't get me wrong. My most recent bout was a year ago after some chicken at a restaurant. But that was the first occurrence in 10 years.)
