The bloody mary is way yum! It's got habenero pepper which ups the spicy, which I like.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Did I know this? I mean, not like it's surprising given how long you two have been together and the whole trying to get pregnant thing, but SQUEE! I'm so happy for you (and so happy that our state is doing the right thing, for once).
We weren't going to get married unless the benefits were better than those you get being domestic partners (as we are already DPs). Then GF thought about it and said we definitely should do it for political reasons. People have fought very hard to get this right and everyone should be able to get married if they want to. So I'm pretty sure we're going to do it. Just go to City Hall and tie the knot :) I'm just pleased as hell that I got my bracelet out of it! Ridiculously priced, but I do love it and I think I'm going to get our wedding date (and maybe our initials) engraved once we decide what it'll be. I know two other same-sex couples who are also planning to get married. Yay!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'd avoid dairy, too, Teppy. In fact, with an upset like yours, I usually avoid solids at all for 12-24, and then start with the boring BRAT, and procede to blandish other things if that works over 4-8 hours. I know you're probably ravenous, and odds are blandish chipotle will be fine. But I'm a coward in such things, and my tum is calibrated for blandish on default.
Everyone else, I'm wishing your gastric demons begone. Or at least becalmed, for the forseeable future.
From yesterday, (((DJ and friend))). So many good wishes, and such thanks we've come this far, medically, since the 80s. We'd go even farther if our tax dollars weren't going to fund abstinence-only propaganda and anti-aging and virility research for the obscenely rich. (end rant)

This story is crazy romantic, GC. Grandchildren-telling romantic. And wonderful.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, GC and GC's GF!
Teppy, beans are very high in fiber, so I might go with something blander.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, GC!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Congratulations, GC!
Shiny! And so happy! And it should even please the Christian Right 'cause now you won't be an unwed mother!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
According to my gastroenterologist cousin, there is no need to avoid bland foods after a stomach bug/food poisoning/etc. As soon as you feel like eating normal food again, go for it.
(The BRAT diet is no longer recommended at all - your body needs nutrients to replace what you've lost, not empty calories.)
