Ginger Snaps

Oh my poor tummy!
I figured out what's been giving me this pain.
Milk. (shut up Joe)
It makes me gassy and my poor belly can't take it.

This morning I woke up and had a craving for my ginger snaps. I poured a glass of milk and sat down. By the time I was done with my milk, the gut wrenching pain sunk in. I was on the floor, rolling around, crying. It didn't stop for 10 minutes! 10 minutes might not seem like a long time to you, but when you're in constant pain... it feels like forever.

I took a scalding hot bath and waited for the pain to go away. Thank God it did.

Now, onto more important topics, food. Pepparkakor Swedish Ginger Snaps to be specific. These delightful little cookies are $9.99 for a tin of 180 at cost plus world market. They taste like a chai tea latte and they melt in your mouth as soon as they hit your tongue. I bought them for my baby shower. I thought I would make some pumpkin mousse and use the ginger snaps for dipping. Unfortunately, they have proven to be very addictive! So I do not recommend buying them unless you have people to help you eat them.
