S is for "Stupid!"
May. 23rd, 2008 01:17 pmIn the immortal words of Ralph Wiggum "My cat's breath smells like cat food."
Wouldya like to know what I did last night? Well, OK then. I'll tell you.
Y'know, I said that I was getting a migraine, and that I was going to take a sedative and go to bed? I did that, and was asleep shortly after 10 pm. It was heavenly. I love being in bed (and asleep, no less!) that early. But, the bad thing about taking a sedative is that it often makes me want to get up and eat in the middle of the night. Sometimes I do it in my sleep, and either wake up eating, or I actually STAY asleep and just find "evidence" the next morning. But last night, I woke up totally and was just wildly hungry.
I'd gotten some of these awesome Vanilla Bean almonds to snack on, and thought those would hit the spot. They come in a container that looks like this:
The cats have treats that come in a container that looks like this:
See any similarities? In the middle of the night, when you're still kind of groggy from a sedative and it's dark, they look and feel pretty much the same.
So, I took the can of what I thought were almonds, opened them up, poured one (thankfully JUST one) in my hand and ate it. Hmmm...cruuunnnchy. Crunchier than an almond should be. And...small. And...kinda rancid-tasting. I thought "ew, that must have been a bad almond." I just thought it was one that had gone bad and was sort of shriveled-up or something. Until I looked at the other ones I'd poured out in my hand (that I was getting ready to pop into my mouth) and realized they were shaped like little fish. Remember the fish-shaped treats I posted about the other day? Yeah. Those.
I can tell you from experience that they do NOT taste any kind of good. They are sour and....bleh hideous. Even though I did go get the real almonds after that, and ate several of them, AND brushed my teeth, I still could not get that disgusting taste out of my mouth, and thought out of my head. I threw up all the almonds I'd just eaten. Yuck. Thinking about it now makes me kinda queasy.
This morning, I told General that his treats were nasty and he just gave me this "whatev, mom" look, as he went right back to munching.
At least now I know that they do not taste like "salmon" or any other sort of fish, or even anything recognizable as food. They're just gross. And now you know...the rest of the story.
