Back to bird seed food! but happy enough im intolerant to wheat and dairy but no allergies which is a relief!! Cholesterol going down a bit but thats without much effort so must get it down now to normal! Almost at my ideal weight again which is good but have to take the wheat and dairy seriously now HA! not much bloody chance of getting fat when you cant digest chocolate and cakes!! anywhoo glad im not allergic just a tough diet but its for life now i am lacking an ensyme that breaks down wheat and dairy so best to stay clear! seems to run in the family we are all tall and slim but three out of five of us are wheat and dairy intolerant? going to miss my big boobs but you cant have it all!! as long as i am still passing the pencil test im laughing!!!!!

So tuna and green salad tonight and the detox headaches have started up again but may not be as severe this time as ive been good all month! bad news no more COFFEE? yep caffiene was a culprit aswell and beef which i thought. I not fussed though as never could digest beef so i wont miss it just glad i like fish or id be anorexic! the doc says stress wont make this better and yes its all from stress your gut just couldnt cope with the constant knotting and so refuses to digest certain foods?
I think emjo understands this more!! anyway i could be worse its not serious but could get bad if i continue to eat the bad foods?
treated myself to some really good dark chocolate with chilli so whoopeedo!!!

Storm should be passing late this afternoon. Hunkered down. Decided to cook full pot of rice in case the power shuts down due to downed line by foliage. All night and all this morning, the lights keep flickering. I was going to make what you all call: Spam Goulash. It's basically the same recipe as I use for the vienna sausage but instead use the low sodium spam. Alas, I found that all our can of tomatoes have expired since last year, 2013. Been googling on alternative way to use our unused catsup. SIL just text me that they also don't have can of tomatoes. That her DIL tried using tomato catsup and everyone refused to eat it.

I guess this morning for breakfast, I will cook eggs and the hot sausages. And then put aside some rice in a container to cool off. Once that's done, i will make fried rice with onions, scrambled eggs and spam in it. That will be lunch and dinner. I will put on my to-buy list some cans of tomatoes. I sure was looking forward to that spam goulash with the mushrooms and olives. Disappointed but... what can one do if you don't have much in the food pantry, which I discovered most of it has expired ..even a 2012 expiration!

I am on my second attempt on making fresh homemade mozzarella. Yesterdays attempt was an epic fail!... I love caprese salads when it's so darn hot out.

Cool bookluv i love a good storm although i know its alot heavier in the states! But theres nothing nicer than been inside all warm with a fire and a mad storm outside its my favourite thing to do! if i had alot of money i would go storm chasing nothing like an electric storm to make you feel alive! Best storm i ever saw was in the Fiji islands i sat up and watched it all night as id never seen anything like it! my ex just snored but he was from NZ so it wasnt a big deal for him! We dont get many here but when there is one im up all night watching it love them!

JB how do you make your own mozzarella? and why? seems like hard work but good on you for trying!! yes this is/was my fav salad drizzled with homemade pesto sauce yummy! I only like the buffalo mozarella the real stuff which is quite pricey here but worth it!

We had teriyaki steak, steak fries, and broccoli. Last night my mother came over and we had spagetti, garlic bread, and salad. I usually don't like to cook but lately I've been in the mood. I also made banana bread, and banana blueberry muffins for tomorrow. Probably won't feel like cooking tomorrow after taking Mom to the denturist to get new dentures.

Book it is usually safe to use canned goods many years after the expiration date as long as the can has not bulged and is not dented.

A bit of nostalgia tonight: Veggie Melts, which I remember ordering from the Dayton's River Room Restaurant years and years ago, when it seemed exotic. On the toasted bread I piled sprouts, artichoke dip, tomato slices, sliced mushrooms, shredded zucchini, and three kinds of cheese. Broiled till cheese bubbled and started browning.

Watermelon was all we needed to round out the meal.

B & V: Canned goods can indeed remain safe to eat for years, but they begin to lose quality after the date stamped on the can.

Too late! I finished cooking for the whole day. Okay. I will not throw those 2013 expired cans. I tried not to get irritated that I cooked all this. And then sis comes out and just digs into it. Uhm... she didn't even cook rice lastnight so that I can have a decent dinner. She basically cooks only for herself when I'm not home. I only know this because my eggs, meat, etc... seem to disappear and I know that I didn't use it. Yet, when it's my shift here at home, I cook enough for us to last the whole day. I'm really really trying not to let it bother me. At least say thank you.

But book, it does bother you, no matter how hard you try not to let it. Have you discussed it (calmly, politely) with Sis?

yup kaz . german fast food is ( or used to be ) a brotchen roll with any kind of wurst on it . the bread is essentially a sponge to absorb the afternoon beer which is even acceptable on the job . most office buildings come equipped with a beer garten on the roof . germans do a lot of questionable things . verboten , means we just dont talk about it ..
