Breakfast on a stick, imagine a corn dog, but eggs instead of breading, cooked on either turkey sausage to turkey bacon.  Thinking these can be sold for $3 each. 
	Food truck financing is still slow, the fundraiser had $25 this last month and I have raised $4k by cutting back on my meds and food the past 8 months. About $26K short of my injection fund. 
	Water heater looks like it will bust soon  Landlord says they are getting a new....for weeks while I empty a 5-gallon bucket from the drip daily. 
	My diet, I went the whole month of Feb giving up all animal products except collagen and eggs. I for the last 7 days gave up sugar alcohols to see if this affected my digestion but nothing different. 
	I started talking on The Mighty about my mental issues and traumas in life...stuff I NEVER talk about to anyone in some cases....some are the reasons I am so broken with IRL trusting of humans. This seems to be a good way to go about it. 
	Perfected a version of a hot dog bun 100% grain free and low carb. Pretty much a flatbread round shape 6" around but fluffy like bread. pick it up and eat like a taco. 
	I have resorted to emailing philanthropist requesting help, my pride used to keep me from just sending emails to people. I threw it under the bus, getting hte money to launch this truck and becomes self-supportive and be useful serving others is a drive to stay alive at this point...and my only reason to be alive. 
	I put my foot down about a guy at my dad's shop exposing me to allergens.  
	 
	The vomiting is still present in evenings with reduced enzyme consumption. Not much just some floating mass. The rest is working out and normal again. 
	Found some more high fat digesting enzymes that sit better with my stomach. 
	Been having fun biohacking my diet, LARGE amounts of Hemp, and Dark unsweetened chocolate completely took away my abysmal and life ending thoughts and left me with a pessimistic optimism with randomly cynical jokes about my life. The negative emotions of sadness, anger, and sinking feelings of failure are gone. Going to change to using Coconut for saturated fats next week and get off chocolate and see if any of the chemical compounds present are the cause.  
	 
	I find myself cooking a lot more, 4-5 days in advance and snacking a ton, and offering to cook for others. Wondering if coping for lack of usefulness, depression, stress, etc.</description><pubDate>Fri, 01 Mar 2019 21:00:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Getting a definite diagnosis</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2610-getting-a-definite-diagnosis/</link><description>I was on very low carb diet late summer early Fall into winter.  At Christmas I came off and ate Christmas sweets, cookies, etc, etc... so good. By New Years I began with severe diarrhea with urgency.  Extremely fatigued, my physician started me on doxycycline, no help, put on lomotil, motofen- no help. Then started questran.  No help. Used verbizi, bentyl.  Not much better.  Had egd and bx showed villous atrophy.  But the antibody lab test for celiac was negative.  The dq2 and dq8 genetic testing showed dq2 positive, but dq8 negative. I also had microscopic colitis in the sigmoid at the same time. All other lab work was WNL.  No physician with straight up tell me yes &#x201C;definitely &#x201C; celiac.  I don&#x2019;t understand why the gluten antibody test was negative, when the biopsy pointed to it.  I&#x2019;m so confused and wishing the doctors would say yes this is what it is, and if you follow diet, all will be fine.  I&#x2019;ve been gluten free 4 weeks now.  Feel better, no real diarrhea like before, but would like to get definite answer.  My family has some immunological diseases such as lupus, RA, diabetes, but no celiac.  Anyone else have contradictory findings?</description><pubDate>Tue, 19 Feb 2019 06:09:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Nature&#x2019;s Path Foods Recalls A Specific Production Run Of Envirokidz Choco Chimps, Gorilla Munch And Jungle Munch Cereals Due To Undeclared Gluten</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2609-nature%E2%80%99s-path-foods-recalls-a-specific-production-run-of-envirokidz-choco-chimps-gorilla-munch-and-jungle-munch-cereals-due-to-undeclared-gluten/</link><description><![CDATA[Today, Nature’s Path Foods announced a voluntary recall of a specific production run of EnviroKidz Choco Chimps, Gorilla Munch and Jungle Munch cereals for they may contain undeclared gluten (wheat and barley).

Hopefully it picks up with market sales this year. I did redo my recipes for better gluten free cakes, rolls, and breads for the bakery. Using more expensive almond flours, no sugars at all, and using more and different leavening agents for improved rise. Even removing the staple psyllium husk from my cakes. 
	 
	My emotional support animal Ouros the bearded dragon has been a complete  nutcase. I know he is mentally handicapped (heck his name came from the fact he would try to eat his own tail as a baby til he chewed most of it off). We got him a solid walled enclosure with sliding elevated windows. This stopped him running into walls full force every day til he stunned himself. As he used to just bang his head on glass walls of his other one all day til I would stop him or he hurt himself too much to move. Now he will scratch at the windows on this one, like nails on a chalkboard.....still special ed lizard does not comprehend see through materials, but at least it is raised so he can not head bash hard on it.  He is eating less live feeders and more veggies as he has gotten older and is saving money. Still daily he has one of his panic/mental attacks and starts freaking out til I put him in a small box for a hour or hug him close til he calms down. Heck this morning he tried to cook himself attacking his heating element. Unsure who is comforting who in this relationship lol. I think I know how parents with a kid on the spectrum feel about being powerless to help their kids. 
	 
	As to my body, diarrhea is back..... I spent January eating more and more meat, lean venison, Epic Pork Rinds, Turkey Bacon, Tuna, Salmon, Grass fed beef. Now around the end I tried tapering back my enzymes to save money...and the D got MUCH worse like 6 times a day liquid. Going back off meat in February for a "Vegetarian" month, fitting for the month of love eh? 
	This brought up some other interesting concepts, could blood sugar be a issues with the D also and are they related. I was talking with other people on KETO, I have something abnormal. I can eat no sugar, no starches, no fruit, grains, or starchy veggies and even fasting still have a glucose of 101-120. Apparently I should be in the 80-90 range with my diet. Maybe my pancreas function got worse or completely dead? I mean what happens if you have NO insulin? Can't find studies on someone without a pancreas trying to Keto or atkins diet to manage blood sugar. I started a "diabetic" regime of chrominum, and a a few other things playing with herbal regimes and finding they help me feel better and evening stemming the binge eats a bit. 
	 
	Good News about body, throughout the month of January I put on 6.5lbs, I see very little jiggle in the mirror jumping but more defined abs, leg muscles, and arms. This might either be due to increased animal products, bone broths, or the extreme increase and in fat and protein. Trying to keep up the high fat/protein with vegan sources for half the month of FEB to biohack this. Last week of February I am going to go low fat high protein and do the old "cutting" I used to do. Really go for the full definition competition look. 
	 
	I also have regained  a good deal of nerve response....annoyingly so. Used to be I could cut myself, burn myself, drinking something hot, or something else and not be bothered by it. NOW, I feel little cuts on my hands with a odd burning sensation to them, I feel stuff being warm...and the old pain sensations of burning myself with hot food, hot pans, drinking hot beverages...even cold leaving a painful sensation after handing frozen items for extended amounts of time. Heck I feel itchy dry skins, crumbs on my bed, and lint globs in my socks....stuff that I have not noticed since I was a kid.</description><pubDate>Sat, 02 Feb 2019 14:37:52 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Coconut Flour Pancakes</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2606-coconut-flour-pancakes/</link><description>Coconut Pancakes, low carb, and free of gluten, starch, grains, or sugars.

		Commissary Requirement 
		 
		A Commissary is defined as a permitted fixed food establishment that serves as an operating base for a mobile food vehicle. The commissary is where the MFPV will be stored, parked, serviced, cleaned, supplied, and maintained. When located in Ennis, the facility must be constructed and licensed in accordance with the Ennis City Health Code. Home based operations are not allowed. All mobile food preparation vehicles must report daily to a commissary where: 
		 
		- The vehicle is properly cleaned and serviced. 
		- All food contact surfaces are washed, rinsed and sanitized. 
		- The liquid waste is properly disposed. 
		- The vehicle receives potable water necessary to operate. 
		- Food served from the mobile food vehicle is stored, handled or prepared. 
		- Single service articles are properly stored. 
		- The vehicle is stored overnight (minimum of 5 hours). 
		 
		So now, even though the truck has a fully self contained kitchen plan will require me to build a commissary. The nearest ones for rent is over 40miles away...and with shared kitchens not gluten free. 
		And now I need another 200-300K to have it built  God I need to find a philanthropist, with my dreams so far out of reach and me having to be a leech for now with family to get by I am quite cornered with what to do.</description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jan 2019 01:10:53 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sunbutter Cookies</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2604-sunbutter-cookies/</link><description>Sun butter cookies.

Regardless here is a peanut free alternative to peanut butter cookies. I even did it this time without almond flours/butters and opted for sugar free. 
	Makes approx 36 
	1/2 cup (56G) Coconut flour 
	1 cup (200g) Swerve or Erythritol 
	1 cup (256g) Sunbutter unsweetened 
	3 large eggs whisked 
	1 tsp vanilla 
	1. Preheat Oven 350 
	2. Prepare baking sheets lined with parchment (3 at 12 cookies each) 
	3. Combine coconut flour and swerve and whisk. In another bowl mix sunbutter, eggs, and vanilla then combine. A mixer makes this easier but can be done by hand. 
	4. Using a Tbsp or small dough scoop form balls and arrange on baking sheets flatten slightly with a fork. 
	5. Bake 15-18 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

	I just noticed the cool blog feature of this website and decided to create my own and have some kind of outlet for all my gluten issues. I am seeing a GP tomorrow to get blood tests done, although I will try to see if there is a way for me to not be back on the Bad Stuff for the full 12 weeks, as that is impossible for me.
 


	I have been eating full gluten meals today for the first time in a while and I. Have. So. Much. Gas. Awkward. Not to mention the Belly&#x2122; and the lower stomach pains. I also have a breakout on my back? What the heck is even my stupid body. Anyhow, I am just hoping tomorrow goes well and that I can find my answers fast. I haven't considered what will happen in case of negative results... Sigh. What else could this be?
 


	Going to bed with the pregnant stomach now. Looking forward to the start of constipation and/or diarrhea tomorrow.

I have noticed that since I started a gluten free diet my breasts haven&#x2019;t grown at all. I haven&#x2019;t grown much at all since than now that I think about it. My mother and aunts all developed around my age or younger. I know that genetics play a part in development but they all developed earlier. I know I should just be happy with my body but I feel kinda left out since all my friends are more developed and I have a very flat chest. I was wondering if anyone knew if having celiac had anything to do with my breast development and if I can do anything about it?</description><pubDate>Sun, 06 Jan 2019 04:46:28 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Jan 2019</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2597-jan-2019/</link><description>So the vomiting is still constant in the evenings sometimes at lunch 5-7 enzyme pills can prevent full purges and just few gulps of floating mass. I am still very frustrated with this, what floats comes up OK, so I soak my meals 8-24hours and have it preblended. BUT when it is heated up stuff FLOATS..like really? Then there is that random benezorr of solid mass at the bottom of my stomach that goes rancid and makes me light headed and sick til I cough up a large mass from several days of collecting. 
I have followed poster boys idea and significantly cut back my nexium and sticking to ranidine. NO effect at all...thankfully I get health insurance this month....but at the cost of not being able to afford anything else....(RSDI $906 - $750 rent/bills - $138 Health insurance = $18...the frack do you live on this?!) 

Diarrhea came back...but with it less of the vomiting...as when it cleared up the vomiting got worse only lasted a few days out of no where. 

Fasting for 12 hours from 5pm til 5am has caused my body to stop focusing on digesting and more on rebuilding...I am bulking up with pure muscles...annoying part is I now do not feel the workouts....I have exceeded my equipment. NOTE exceeding the 12 hour fast or trying a bone broth fast...caused my digestive system to shut down with constipation. I Swear I must have a dead section in my gut....if stuff is not constantly shoved through it then it sets up and gets stuck there...the fast not only led to constipation but a drunk like feeling and nausea with fever....did this twice a week apart. 12 hours is my limit. 

I have come up with a way to make a cheap monte cristo....instead of heavy batter and deep frying it like Cheddar's I am going to start with gluten free grain free bread, put a bit of deli turkey on it, some vegan dairy free cheddar and mozz, and dip the sandwich and soak in a egg and almond milk bath, then a light almond flour dusting before BAKING it. Will post on how this goes. 

My bakery has remade our cakes...SOO rich and like a gluten cake our taste testers could NOT stop eating it....it is grain free and low carb, I pretty much did a straight up sub with our psyllium binder for tapioca starch...like only 1-2tbsp depending on version for the entire cake or batch. This holds it up, makes it soft and not so muffin like, and give a wonderful gluten cake texture. 

Holidays were interesting, I put bows on all the stuff my family got me the past few months..and regifted myself lol. Actually made me feel like I got a bunch of gifts when I only got a few cheap things. I could only get a few things for family.....and this is amusing, I got some money from friends for Christmas...WHICH covered sending them THEIR gifts lol, so I got the gift of giving. 
New years....I do not do late nights...I looked up a countdown map...I celebrated with Japan...my newyears was at 9am Central, so much easier for use morning people. Sparkling water for a drink though. There will be post on a meal idea for new years, perhaps others will have fun with it. 
OH and this morning I found a new thing...onions make me puke, I made air fried onions. Ate a handful and was in the bathroom...GG stomach.  Moderation and seasonings they seem fine but this explains why I was hit and miss with homemade ranch seasonings and anything with strong onion flavor....I hope it gets better if this becomes more sensitive I would debate life.</description><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2019 00:38:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Daiya gluten free pizza</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2596-daiya-gluten-free-pizza/</link><description>I recently ate this product a frozen pizza labeled gluten free.

	This is not the Cheddar's Monte Cristo from my childhood, I could make one more like it but I can not justify spending $30 in initial products.
 


	I bought a store brand of Gluten Free and Grain Free bread from Whole Foods for a proof of concept over using my own. BUT this would probably be better with thick canyon bake house slices. 
	So this is more like a french toasted battered turkey and cheese sandwich, feel free to up the antsy adding ham and swiss.
 


	 
	2 tbsp Nutiva Butter Flavored Coconut Oil 
	6 Large Eggs Beaten 
	1 1/4 Cup (300ml) Cashew or Almond Milk 
	8 Slices Gluten Free Bread, I used Julian Almond Paleo but Canyon House might work. 
	4oz Dairy Free Cheddar, I used some lisanatti shreds, melted in a bowl a bit so it would not fall out slices would work 
	12oz Thin Sliced Turkey, I found the Naturals from Oscar to be gluten and corn free 
	Raspberry sauce for dipping is optional along with a bit of powdered sweetener for dusting if you wish to add a bit more authenticity
 


	1. Preheat oven to 400F, line a rimmed baking sheet with a non stick mat or foil, brush with melted coconut oil or butter. 
	2. In a 9 x 13 baking dish whisk the eggs and milk, season with salt and pepper 
	3. Top 4 slices of bread with turkey bit of pepper and salt, distribute the cheese evenly over the turkey and top with the remaining bread. 
	Transfer these to the egg mixture and press down with a spatula soaking for 1-2mins a side and carefully flipping. 
	4. Transfer again to the baking sheet and cook 15mins then carefully flip and bake another 8-14 mins til done. I finished a bit with the broiler then let rest a bit.
 


	Again this is a not quite the normal one...but it gave me a bit of satisfaction.</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2019 19:03:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Oreo Cookies</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2594-oreo-cookies/</link><description>Again experimenting with some odd rewrite of others recipes to meet cravings, I give you Oreo Cookies DO NOTE the type of Cocoa used is Important

What I got was not the monkey bread I used to make....BUT DID make a huge pan of GLORIOUS cinnamon Sugar Doughnut holes. Now that I think about it the one from my child hood we would pour a ton of butter and sugar icing  all over it before baking so it was huge gooy mess &gt;.&gt; we also used Pillsbury crescent dough formed into mini balls. This still is close enough to provide some satisfaction....and really addictive.
 


	 
	Coating 
	6tbsp Swerve Granular (sugar) 
	4tsp Ground Cinnamon
 


	Dough 
	1/4 Cup (60ml/g) Almond Milk 
	1 tsp (5g) Apple Cider Vinegar

	1/4 Cup (30g) Pea Protein 
	1/2 Cup (100g) Swerve Sweetener Granular 
	2tbsp (20g) Psyllium Husk (or 1tbsp Guar/Xantham Gum) 
	1tbsp Baking Powder (Try Doubling for more rise) 
	1/2 tsp Salt 
	1/2 Cup (120g) Nutiva Butter Flavored Coconut Oil 
	1 tsp Vanilla Extract 
	3 Large Eggs Room Temp 
	25 Drops oooflavors Cinnamon Roll with Caramel (optional)
 


	1. Preheat Oven to 350F. Line a 2lb Loaf Pan with parchment Paper 
	2. In a Small Bowl combine the 6tbsp Swerve and 4 tsp Cinnamon for your coating. 
	3. Combine Milk, and Vinegar and a small measuring cup or bowl, stir and set aside. 
	4. For Dough, combine almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, Swerve, Baking Powder, Psyllium Husk, and Salt, Wisk to combine, if you can run through a sifter. 
	5. Warm and pour your coconut oil into this and fold til it starts to look a bit like corn meal 
	6. Add in the vanilla and eggs til well combined then warm up you milk 30 sec in the microwave and pour it in stun until uniform and can be formed into balls. 
	NOTE if dough is too crumbly add 1-2 more tbsp more hot milk 
	7. Use a cookie scoop or a tbsp to measure our then roll into a ball shape, coat each ball in the cinnamon swerve mix before placing it in the pan. 
	When filled just sprinkle the rest of the mix over the balls. 
	8. Bake 20-25mins, allow to sit in pan for about 10 mins before dumping onto a plate/serving dish. 
	Feel free to make up a icing to put over this, I like making a swerve and cream cheese flavored ones, but caramel and pecan sauce works too.
 


	Simple Frosting x2 for extra Frosting 
	1tbsp Coconut oil butter flavored 
	4tbsp confection swerve sugar free sweetener 
	2tbsp Lakanto maple 
	1/2 tsp LorAnn Oil non dairy cream cheese extract

	Heat and melt the Nutivia Butter, then cream together with everything but the pecans using a beater/wire whisk, then fold in the pecans. 
	Pour this over when done and serving, might need to heat up a bit if it sets up

	Dough 
	220g Almond Flour 
	28g Coconut Flour 
	2 Large Eggs (ROOM TEMP or the oil will harden up) 
	1/4 Cup (60g) Nutiva Butter Flavored Coconut oil 
	1/4 cup (60ml) nut milk 
	2 tbsp (30g) Lakanto Maple Syrup 
	1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt 
	2 tsp apple cider vineagar 
	1 tbsp Heinz Feather Light Baking Powder 
	1 tsp vanilla extract 
	2.5 (25g)tbsp psyllium husk 
	3tbsp Hot Water
 


	Filling 
	3tbsp (45g) Lakanto Maple 
	2tbsp (30g) Nutiva Butter Flavored coconut oil 
	3 tbsp ground cinnamon (cassia is more gelish, siagon is more bite) 
	3 tbsp Swerve Brown
 


	Simple Frosting x2 for extra Frosting 
	1tbsp Coconut oil butter flavored 
	4tbsp confection swerve sugar free sweetener 
	2tbsp Lakanto maple 
	1/2 tsp LorAnn Oil non dairy cream cheese extract
 


	1. Whisk Dry Except the Psyllium Hudk in a large bowel, mix wet in another with the psyllium husk whisk and let set a min to thicken, then combine wet and dry and mix well with a spoon 
	2. Knead out the dough with your hands making sure it is well combined adding in 3 tbsp hot water and working it in(IMPORTANT this helps activate the emulsifiers) then transfer to the fridge for 30mins to let it chill 
	3. Mix up the filling while the dough is chilling and set aside, and Preheat your oven to 350F 
	4. Take the dough out of the fridge and put down some parchment paper, using a rolling pin roll out the dough until 1/4" thick 
	5. Apply the filling to the dough spreading evenly the back of a spoon works best 
	6. Might want to use a thin spatula to help get it off but slowly start to roll one edge of the dough going slowly to roll it up into a log. 
	7.Take a large knife and cut the dough into 1 - 1 1/2" sections place each on parchment paper covered baking sheet. 
	8. Bake for 18-25mins til browned
 


	9. Choose your glaze and have fun drizzling it over them. NOTE if you do this with hot rolls it will run all over them and puddle around. When Chilled the icing will harden up. 
	Bonus tip warm the icing before hand to make it drizzle well.

	1. My diarrhea for the past 6 months stopped, no changes in diet or medications it just tapered off and is solid again, still a bit oily from pancreas issues but solid. I assume this means the antibodies finally went down? Probably jinxed it but 4 days now solid stools. 
	2. Fasting in the evening to address the vomiting, this resulted in me still vomiting around the same time without eating solids/food for lunch or dinner. Conclusion is that this stuff is from breakfast....12 hours earlier. Seems that what does not digest goes rancid, makes me nauseated and sick and I will inevitably vomit between 4-6pm. GG GI tract. But I am still digesting a good amount of it. Just throwing more stuff on top in the evening just makes it worse. Funny it forms a film and looks like a jelly fish and floats.... 
	3. I made a safe to eat burger bun...while I can not eat meat still, sprinkling some bone broth powder in some avocado mayo on it was good, it goes will with eggs, mash avocados, and a blend of primal kitchen ketchup, mustard, and mayo with my vegan cheese a make weekly. 
	4. I got a instapot and have started making my own yogurt dairy free. NOW if is use my normal methods of that 80billion pill in almond or coconut milk, I get a really sour offish yogurt...TO make a good yogurt I got some do delicious tub of unsweetened, and dumped hte one tub in has a starter. this is thinner but gives a good flavor. I can then thicken it up with gelatin or agar agar. 
	5. I have almost perfecting my own cheese lines, &gt;.&gt; I cheat with oooflavors cheese flavorings but using a blend of almond butter, water, nutritional yeast, coconut flour and psyllum husk I can make a stretchy gooy perpetually melted state of vegan cheese....stuff is crazy fun. 
	6. Research in to cocoa...might do a post on this later. I have been doing market research on bulk distributors for cocoa. I have found the type of cocoa swiss miss uses for their chocolate mixes...that flavor....is mostly from the special bandelier cocoa powder from blommer cocoa. I also found the cocoa that is used to maker Oreo and those icecream cookie sandwiches...that rich cocoa they use... it is called Jet Black from the same company, now this one can be ordered online by normal people. The Bandelier...I got a sample and confirmed what it is but I need to order a 50lb bag of it . I am honestly tempted to do it, and make my own cocoa mixes dairy free and sugar free and repackages and maybe sell.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2018 20:13:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Instant Hamburger Buns</title><link>https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2587-instant-hamburger-buns/</link><description>I was going to make hamburger Salad but recalled a mini burger receipe from a cook book I got from ketosummit.

			Dad got me a new bed set, OK this might not sound like much BUT I have been using the same blanket, sheets, etc for the past 10 years. ONE set. I just wash it every week and put it back on...the sheets were so worn you can see through them.

			Food, I have recreated Cinnamon Toast Crunch...grain free high protein version ALMOST to perfection. 
			Been on a more blended diet and trying to find a good balance with enzymes. 
			I found a good way to season spinach to make it quite flavorful, 
			I am thinking of a few things also, starting a savory Challenge, no sweet flavored stuff for breakfast, IE no serve, lakanto, monk fruit, or stevia. Going to go 1-2 weeks with this....Starting AFTER national cookie day on the 4th &gt;.&gt; 
		
	

	
		
			 
		
	

	
		
			I am also debating giving up dinner...I mean I eat a nut meal porridge for dinner as it is the least harsh and I vomit it the least. Fact is end of the day, my stomach is tired, my digestive system is done...and I will pretty much vomit some of ANYTHING I eat for dinner no matter what it is, and then it turns into a binge fest of trying to eat vomit, eat and try to keep something down. Just going with heavier bigger lunch and dinner then fasting from 11am til 5am the next day? Maybe have a single scoop of protein powder in a shake for dinner to prevent muscle loss. Should I start this now or in January? 
			 
			Tooth, the dentist did this procedure a few weeks ago, he pulled the broken tooth up 4mm and sutured it in place. The sutures have come off and the latest xray show it is reattaching to the jaw in the new position. IN a few months they will fit and install a crown on it. 
			 
			I will probably do a post in a few weeks about my Christmas and Thanksgiving meal plans for ideas for others trying some new stuff. 
			 
			This new tooth issue has me trying to get my cocoa fix...I used to chew on cocoa nibs, I can not really chew or grind foods now with this tooth issue so trying to find a nice powder fix...Lakanto bars work and melt in my mouth but damn that pricing. And store cocoa powders are VERY lacking with the gluten free ones. Will break this down later. 
			 
			AND FINALLY My Birthday is on the 16th, I can not do any trips like I used to, even cheap train ride to San Antonio is out of the question this year. I was looking at perhaps a cheap stay at a hotel with homemade cinnamon rolls and a walk at Six Flags? I mean I have a lifetime pass the the place...but I have to prepare food for a day, bring a cooler (they let me bring my own food in) and then the lines....the lines make me feel trapped and have panic attacks, I have to buy that dang $100 flash pass to skip the lines or it just ruins my day. Who knows probably just spend a miserable day my myself.....yeah if I do nothing I will have a mental breakdown....learned that last year depression really hits when you get no gifts, cards, etc and spend it alone.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 03 Dec 2018 14:04:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
