Misery !!!

  Truth be known I do a lot of the cooking at our house.
Mainly because I enjoy experimenting with different
recipes but mostly because I enjoy cooking and since
we both work full time jobs it became necessary to share
the chores over the years.  I still leave the holiday meals
and the roasts and such to my wife but I really enjoy
making soups and simple meals. 
  Tonight I thought I'd give something new a try.  Since
my wife is mostly a vegetarian , I say mostly because
she eats very little meat.. maybe a little ham
and now and then an all beef hot dog.(which really isn't meat
anyway I would guess)  I thought we would try Black Bean
Burritos.  Something she orders a lot at the Mexican
restaurants that we frequent.
  Now I personally chopped the onion .. fresh garlic and sauteed
them to perfection.  I then added all of the other ingredients and
simmered  the mixture to a perfect texture.  And when placed on
warm tortillas with melted cheese  and topped with salsa and Sour
Cream they looked and tasted terrific.  So terrific in fact that I had
two of them.
   As I look back over the ingredients I remember ..tomatoes, red
chilies, black beans, rice, corn, and burrito seasoning.  I don't remember
adding  spray foam insulation, fix a flat, or any other sort of self-
inflating substance.  Why then after about an hour after eating as I
was on the tractor cutting grass did I instantaneously feel like all of
the grass clippings were going into my digestive system instead of the
rear bagger?   After finishing the mowing I managed to waddle into
the house,  take a hot shower, get dressed and plop down in this chair.
  And here I set  like a toad unable to move.  Seems the wife has no
ill effects,  must just be my finely tuned digestive system.  I know what
it needs !  Breyers butter pecan ice cream .. Yea.. that should do it !
