2016-08-05 Fabulous Food Allergy Friday
Happy August, everyone. Is it hot where you are? We had a few really nice days here, but then it got hot again. How does Watermelon Lemonade sound to cool down? I’m not generally a big fan of watermelon, but a few weeks ago, we were in NY where hot is even hotter because the…

Reuben-esque Potato Pile
Sitting in a random deli in Providence, RI, on an April Friday afternoon, I was drinking some odd flavor of coffee (that was actually really tasty, and I’m not usually a fan of flavored coffee). Jack left me alone for about 3 minutes while the deli woman made a hot chocolate for him. When he…

On Monday, April 29, 2013, I had some more scratch test allergy testing done because I was having symptoms similar to those I had before I realized that the milk allergy was bad and couldn’t be ignored any more (see my Denise page, which will have to be updated at some point for reasons that…
