Nowadays, with all the electronics in one's pants, it
may be quite possible to have one's brain if not body
in more than one place at once.

The doc in charge of admitting to the ICU was against it,
and I agreed with him, but it turned out that the added
equipment and greater attention there was helpful (even if
the latter aided in blowing out all my veins).

Chilacayota refreshing drink
cat: Oaxaca, Mexico, beverage
yield: 1 batch

1 chilacayota (2.5-3 kg)
- (green squash similar to pumpkin)
4 L water
1 1/2 kg brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 peeled, cubed pineapple
1 lime, zest only

Cut squash in cubes. Peel and add to water, brown sugar, and 
cinnamon. Cook until soft and pulp can be easily removed. 
Lower heat, add pineapple, and sliced lime peel.

Serve very cold.

There's a recipe out there that has cheese substituted for
the brown sugar, which would seem to be a mistranslation,
but that recipe is in Spanish. Also, that seems to be
quite a bit of sugar, making it seem that this is a recipe
for a beverage concentrate to be cut with water or similar.
