So... I just choked.
I was eating a sliced heirloom tomato with cottage cheese, and I was biting one of the tomato wedges and accidentally bit through the front 10% while the back 90% slipped down my throat and got lodged.
My throat kept spasming so I thought it was going down, but it turns out it wasn't, so I ran into the kitchen where Tom was finishing the asparagus, and I gave him the international "tomato lodged in my throat" symbol. He promptly administered the Heimlich Maneuver (god bless Heimlich-- god bless Tom!) and sent the tomato flying out.
It was very, very surreal. I always thought choking would hurt, but mostly it was slightly confusing and uncomfortable. But damn, that Heimlich works!
