goodness, we are a sickly bunch this week love2 i think you're right although 'wisdom' doesn't usually scarf down a cupcake from a questionable source! i'm still rebounding (o gosh, my guts HURT - hard to imagine before diagnosis i was *used* to feeling this miserable) probably make the hubs eat leftovers - err - encores. maybe i'll have some clam chowda later if my samwich is nice to me...
everybody: feel better soon! i'll be holding down the couch if ya need me. :/
sorry babes.... someone's already on the couch. How about this chair over here?
we're all messes today.....

Misdiagnosed for 25+ years; finally DXed on 11/01/10. I figured it out myself. Double DQ2 genes. This thing tried to kill me. I view Celiac as a fire breathing dragon --and I have run my sword right through his throat.
Well that was the best day post glutening ever -- yet still sucked. Just installed myself in my comfy chair -- feet elevated -- ice on various parts and ready to start barking orders at my men as they pass thru the room -- teasing -- mostly -- I will have them fetch me fresh ice, tea and water
Good thing I spoiled (bribed) them with sweet treats all last week
I'm not doing too poorly today. I got out of the house to buy my own steroids, although I am way too foggy to be able to drive. I feel pretty much like I would if I had taken a narcotic painkiller, mentally. I get loopy and fun. And, I've been awake like all day! (This required vast amounts of dew, but it was call the kids day do I had to be up.) I am mostly attributing my status of feeling generally poorly over like living hell to the fact that I have taken up a clay habit. The Redmond farm is pretty close to where I live and after much research I decided to try it.
Just got off the phone and am starving. I have a cook it in its own bag pork loin and beyond all my good advice to myself, I want mac and cheese. There is nothing right now that sounds half as appealing as a huge bowl of the stuff, with a good heap of tomatoes in it.

Gluten free January 2012.
Tyramine free June 2012 - slowly getting a few foods back at a time.... scratch that
Low Histamine April 2013 - I swear this better be the last time I have to restrict my diet because giving up chocolate is the final straw
Iodine free briefly fall 2012
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. -- Theodor Geisel
I found some excellent lactose-free mozzarella so am making a low-fat version of poutine. Just poutine and only poutine. Oh, heck. May as well steam some broccoli. Made superb chocolate chip cookies for my massage therapist this morning and am not having any myself (except that one I sacrified for quality control).
Tomorrow's dinner is far more inspired. Can't wait!

Confirmed celiac disease February 2011 from biopsies (had both gastroscopy and colonoscopy). Strictly gluten free March 18 2011.
Diagnosed with fibromyalgia April 13 2011.
3 herniated discs, myofascial pain syndrome, IT band syndrome, 2 rotator cuff injuries - from an accident Dec. 07 - resulting in chronic pain ever since. Degenerative disc disease.
Osteoarthritis in back and hips.
Chronic insomnia mostly due to chronic pain.
Aspartame free May 2011.
Dairy free August 15 2011. Can tolerate aged cheese Jan. 2012. Cannot tolerate much cheese at all 2013 so am eating lactose free cheese and drinking lactose free milk.
When our lives are squeezed by pressure and pain, what comes out is what is inside.

Fries, gravy and cheese = poutine, right? Sounds like comfort food to me!
If you had not had at least 1 cookie to "make sure they weren't poison" (my excuse) I'd have been disappointed.
I made bison meatloaf, whipped potatoes and corn---the hubs has recovered enough to have an appeitite.
me? meh, not so much. But I got a few mouthfuls down.
Cookies would be nice. This low histamine diet + the flu = getting really old.

There is some pork left so I can make my husband fend for himself. As for me, I slapped just a little pork and mac & cheese in a bowl and warmed it up to have along with the world's best soup. What is the world's best soup? Creamy carrot soup. There was a moment of panic when I couldn't find my soup cookbook, but that was quickly remedied and I imagine that by this time tomorrow I'll be out of soup and sending my husband to the store for more whipping cream.
I actually got him to try my mac & cheese this time, probably because I had the brilliant idea to bake it in my cast iron frying pan for max surface area and covered it in a plethora of breadcrumbs. He told me it tastes like macaroni and toast. I call that a win!

That sounds fun. Glad you're feeling better enough for fun stuff. I'm hoping to feel like a person soon myself.

Meh, I think we just have a jinxed February. It'll be behind us soon and we can all start over with a fresh and new March with spring right around the corner and we can all just start over with the fresh spring. I'm also looking super forward to plants and a garden and fresh vegetables again!
