I recently spent time with my in-laws and attended a really nice party with them. It was held in a wine cellar and there was a great jazz 4 piece. We danced all night long and drank a boat load of really nice wines. My favorite was an old stand by, the Masi Amarone -sounds_sound would have loved it!

By the end of the night we were all a few sheets to the wind but it really was a blast.

My sister in law is a great girl but she really does like "fads". She goes to Gwyneth Paltrow's website and will buy whatever miss Paltrow suggests. After the party she tried to give me a bottle of some "miracle hangover cure" that Gwyneth highly recommended. I read the ingredients and it was basically sugar water. No joke.

I didn't drink it and the next day I was slightly hung over. She did drink it and I guarantee she too was hung over but she pretended otherwise and swore that the sugar water saved her. -I think Gwyneth would have been proud of her acting ability.

As for the dried placenta, prior to my daughter being born we attended a birthing class. The midwife that taught the class was awesome and she mentioned that some people like to consume the placenta for nutritional purposes. She neither endorsed or criticized the practice, she just made mention. The next week two of the ladies in the class mentioned that they were going to eat the placenta.

I think it's hilarious that people do things like this and will simultaneously eat garbage while breast-feeding. This same girl ate the Dorito's in the break room?? WTF? Might as well chase that placenta down with some Mountain Dew while you're at it.
