So- are you coming out of your MSG coma yet?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Or do you still have a few more days on turkey sammiches yet before coming back to life?

Just curious- looks like a few of the die hard Lounge Lizards are beginning to stir again.

1. What MSG?

I don't know anybody who puts MSG in their Thanksgiving dinner. Ew!

2. I'm still in a semi potato coma

I have more potatoes to eat tomorrow, and then nap. Mmmmmmm.

3. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!

You know, I haven't had any MSG in years...

I'm feeling pretty chipper...

Just went down to the beach for some pics...

My other kind of poetry!

:hi:

4. No MSG in my turkey

But I've been eating pie like there's no tomorrow. I make good pie. :9

5. are you thinking of tryptophan?

Turkey does have the makings of a natural sedative in it, an amino acid called tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, meaning that the body can't manufacture it. The body has to get tryptophan and other essential amino acids from food. Tryptophan helps the body produce the B-vitamin niacin, which, in turn, helps the body produce serotonin, a remarkable chemical that acts as a calming agent in the brain and plays a key role in sleep. So you might think that if you eat a lot of turkey, your body would produce more serotonin and you would feel calm and want a nap.
