I'm not usually the kind of person to sit down and eat a big hunk of meat for dinner, but tonight I really, really went and did it. I stopped at a local carryout and brought home an enormous gyros sandwich.

I'm not sure if everyone knows what a gyros is. It may be a regional thing, I don't know. Here in Chicagoland there's a large Greek population and gyros stands are everywhere. It's a staple in these parts. It's basically grilled, spicy lamb and stuff piled on pita bread and covered with onions, tomatoes, and this - burp! - cucumber sour cream sauce whose name - burp! - escapes me (that's not all that's escaping me).

This sandwich must have been nine pounds. They served it with a snow shovel. Two guys had to help me out to the car with it.

It was absolutely delicious, every bite of it. But did you ever eat something and an hour later you have this haunting suspicion that you'll never be the same again - that what you ate may have permanently altered your body down to the molecular level?

I'm trying to counteract its effects with a Dr. Pepper, but I fear there is no antidote. Pray for me.

Oopa!

Chris - burp!
