When I lived in Oregon, a great friend & one of my 3 roommates. He always had some kind of new whacky experiment going on... He being of the scientific side, we left all that jazz to him.(God, I miss him terribly) he came home one day so excited, with a bag of whole bag of..nutmeg. This latest experiment would have us all ingesting nutmeg. Yay. Well, he attempted to use my industrial strength coffee grinder- made a tea...he worked quite meticulously on this... After we drank this horrrrrible tea, we sat there for what seemed to be hours. Odd silence. We were all in our own little bubbles. I'm not saying it was good. Mostly, my tummy didn't feel well, sat, stunned like, for hours feeling not quite connected to my body in a not good way. It was slight enough to cause effects, but ...it just sucked. The boys decided to finally go out to a bar. I stayed right where I was, waiting for it to pass, watching Pavoratti on the only channel we had on our Television. Woke with a headache, my coffee grinder was forever ruined-as the nutmeg completely took it over, and found out that my espresso machine had been compromised as well..apparently, while I was asleep, it was thought that maybe make a nutmeg latte. Again, that too would forever hold onto that damn nutmeg scent.
Nutmeg...no thanks.
