Still Learning this Layout...

I want to have a blogroll on my page so I can let people know who I'm reading and what they have to say. So until that happens, here's a link to an excellent blog about children's diets.http://lawrencesyloucreutzojermark.com/blog/how-does-diet-affect-my-childs-behavior/

In the Land of Differing Points of View

I'm on the East coast these days, trying to find my way in my beloved James Wilson family, none of whom have discovered any food intolerances, and all of whom welcome my cooking for them.

In a family that loves shrimp, for example, how do I cook for them? Wear latex gloves, and fry myself some chicken on the side? Last night we went to the restaurant Sakura (sp) a Japanese style place that cooks your food at your table. So everyone's food gets cooked in the same 'pan' so to speak. For someone with a seafood intolerance that was an interesting adventure! But today here I am just fine, after eating my filet mignon and wishing I could have had some of that lobster....

I have a few weeks to get to know my Wilson grandkids again and enjoy every minute I get to spend with them. Along the way maybe I can find some healthy foods they will eat and enjoy. I'll keep you all posted...

Still Working on the Food Thing

It's now May! Less than 3 weeks till I'm home again, starting a new chapter in my life. Exciting, and a bit stressful. But mostly exciting.

I just opened a box from Hidalgo Foods that contained 1)Coca tea, 2)Bee Pollen and 3)Gluten free cereal. Tried the coca tea, it is supposed to be a great energizer with no side effects, and no it isn't from the same place as cocaine (just in case you were wondering.)

So my life of experimenting with food products continues. I have yet to try any of them except the tea, which tastes 'planty', but not bad. Tomorrow I'm tossing the bee pollen into my smoothie, and will look forward to the results. It's supposed to eventually strengthen my resistance to any allergens that are floating around or lurking in my food.

Not sure whether to get another bread machine, since I'm going gluten free it may be a better choice than bringing the one up from Spokane. I'm going to try to make my own gluten, egg, sugar free stuff with the bread machine, and now I'm going to have time to experiment!

I get to see Jessica and Elijah, Isabelle and Chloe whom I haven't seen since the end of February. Of course, then I will miss Maddie, Brianna and Dillon, not to mention James and Cristen. "Sigh" But I'm counting my blessings.

And I get to see my little dog, who I haven't seen since February! (I miss him)

And last but not least, my hubby, who is now working away from home, but should be there by the time I land.

I'll keep you all posted on the Bee Pollen experiment ;)
