chasing a bee

I've gotten out of the blogging habit, and hopefully this post will prime the pump. At lunch today I was sitting outside Wheatsville Co-op finishing my vegan Frito pie. I took a sip of my Blue Sky Root Beer, felt something weird in my mouth, then a shot of pain in my lip. I spat out my drink, and a soggy dead bee flew out of my mouth. Needless, to say, I was a little excited, so I kept spitting. The paint kept getting worse, so I felt for the stinger with my tongue, found it, and pulled it out with my teeth. I spat some more to get rid of the stinger.

A woman eating nearby noticed my spitting and looked at me disapprovingly. "I drank a bee, and it stung the inside of my mouth!" I exclamed.

She feigned concern and told me to go inside and ask for some baking soda. The guys at the deli counter gave me some, which I promptly applied to my swelling lip.

The pain has largely subsided, but my lip is pretty swollen.

dude. that episode sounds very Homer-esque.
"what are you going to do? call out the dogs, or the bees, or the dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they bark, they shoot bees at you?"

Vegan frito pie???

I don't mean to sound insensitive-- a bee sting in the mouth is one of the most painful "minor" injuries I've heard of, but..

VEGAN FRITO PIE??? VEguhnnn-frickin' FRITO PIE!

I want it. I need it. Where can I find the recipe?
