I went to a local restaurant yesterday for lunch. I asked the waitress if
the liver was breaded, battered, or floured. She assured me it wasn't. It
arrived smothered in a two inch layer of onions. I took a large bite,
chewed and swallowed it. Then thought, that tasted like it was breaded. I
pulled the layer of onions back and scraped the surface and it was covered
with a sixteenth of an inch of breading. The waitress said she "thought
someone had told her it wasn't breaded." But she was sufficiently contrite
and mortified to make me sympathize more with her than with myself :)

Needless to say, that was enough to give me two or three bad days in the
room with all the porcelain. A couple of people on the list had suggested
taking papaya pills after such an encounter. So I went home, chewed three
papaya pills to break down the protein in the gluten, took two Zantac 75's,
and two GasX. I had very little reaction. What a relief. I had a little
gas, but not at all the kind of terrible stuff that makes you blame it on
your wife when you're in public :) In short, I'm gonna keep some of those
pills in each of our cars from now on. This morning I feel fine. -vance
