so sick and unable to move that I’m watching glee and fast forwarding through the parts where they sing because it’s really embarrassing
I am so depressed and so sad and I don’t know what to do about it
food poisoning is soooo fun :(

DirectionsSupplies needed: 2 quart pitcher or jar with lid; muddler or wooden spoon
General formula for whatever fruit/herb combo you desire.
