I wish Crest Whitestrips tasted like coq au vin.

I wish everything tasted like coq au vin.

I made coq au vin tonight. It was actually on a whim because Gus and I have been trying to get rid of some wine that's just a little too full-bodied to drink. I had never made it or even eaten it before before, because I figured it was just another chicken dish, just with a fancy French name.

Oh, I am such an asshole. At least I am a well-fed asshole who will soon have white teeth.

What I'm wearing: Blue sweater, white capri pants.

What I'm reading: Amazon.com

What I'm doing after this: Removing my Whitestrips.
