I don’t think I’ve ever failed a stuffing so epically or suffered so badly afterwards! I had to stop halfway through this massive bowl of pasta because my belly grew so tight, achy and uncomfortable that I couldn’t manage another bite! Then again, maybe I should remember I’d actually made ‘Pasta bake for three, for one’! Maybe I didn’t do quite as badly as I thought?! I started off so well… the massive portion of pasta looked and tasted so good! But there were a combination of things working against me… the fact I hadn’t been eating as much, plus I’d been drinking orange juice which always gives me a bloated, gassy belly  so there was a lot of wind inside my stomach already jostling for space with the pasta I was eating! Before long my belly was hurting and churning more with every bite I swallowed down into my bloated gut! 

That’s still a hell of a lot of pasta I wolf down into my waiting tummy, plus there’s a lot of gross, deep burps as I try to make room for more of my stodgy, fattening, carb-ridden meal are loud, long and embarrassing! There are occasional hiccups and lots of tummy rubs and belly play throughout as I struggle with my stuffing and grow visibly more uncomfortable all the time until all I can do is lean back, groan and rub my gut, burping helplessly, begging for relief! Also watch for the parts where I grate more cheese to top my pasta because I couldn’t believe how much my belly shook, jiggled and wobbled with the motion! I ended up in a bloated, burpy, achy mess so I’ve also included the aftermath of my failed stuffing where I try desperately to calm my churning tum to no avail…. Never have I needed a belly rub so badly! Do I have any volunteers?
