Yesterday's banana crumble cake didn't work in terms of texture because the topping tasted like eating crumbled cardboard feet.
Gross.
Today's chicken turned my lips and face puffy and swollen (but no breathing problems). This recent reaction to chicken has happened enough times now that I'll give it a rest for awhile.
Now onto better news. Medjool dates, mushrooms, peanut butter, avocados and cashews have been back on the menu for months with NO ISSUES. Thank goodness, because to me, those are some of the yummiest things, ever.
Now ... for the BESTEST news of my day .....
Banana crumble cake still sounds good....
ReplyDeleteHi Norma. Banana is yummy. Gonna go back to the drawing board.
DeleteHave a great week :-)
I'm so sorry about the chicken Ivy. The banana crumble cake sounds good though and congratulations on your run.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo.
DeleteJogging that far without stopping - awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's fun too.
DeleteOoh. Sorry to hear about that reaction. Glad it wasn't too serious!
ReplyDeleteI only ate a wee bit, because it was a tester piece. Long time no talk. How goes you?
DeleteGood for you on the jogging.
ReplyDeleteThose rocks were pretty cool on your post. Fun selfie too.
DeleteWoohoo! Congrats on the jogging! Sorry about the chicken though :(
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hannah. How goes your eating these days? Anything tasting better than other things?
DeleteThat is great news about the jogging! I like all the good food you listed but dates and peanut butter (only the natural type; the rest totally sucks!) are the best. The absolute best.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Just like real maple and real honey. None of that cut crappy stuff. Yuck.
Deletei love all food you mentioned and one of my favorite cakes in the whole world is my Aunt Lola's Prune Cake..so so good..and tho she has passed on now, she did leave her prune cake recipe behind. She always had one in her freezer for company and she always served it with wedges of wonderful cheese...ummm now I just may have to go buy prunes and make one.
ReplyDeleteGreat jogging news...and thanks for coming by with such a sweet comment. xoxo
Ohhhhh, prune cake sounds yummy. I grew up eating prunes and still have them all the time. So yum.
DeleteI stand by my comment. You are blessed and very a kind soul.
Way to go on the jogging. You've zipped right past me! I'll forever just be walking, but that's okay with me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacy. I go super slow and have fun with it. It's part of my getting my immune system stronger, plan.
DeleteHow goes your hubby?
Huge congratulations. There will be no stopping you now (or keeping up with you either).
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches.
DeletePS: About to have a bowl of fruit. Yum. How goes your autumn pickins? I love harvest time. So yummy.
Congrats on the 10k. That is a big accomplishment! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christian. I feel so happy about it.
DeleteThat is some impressive jogging. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, CountryMum and again, welcome to my little blog.
DeleteWay to go with the 10K! Hope that changes with the chicken for you soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. I don't miss the cow or pig but the chicken I really, really enjoyed.
DeleteHappy New Week. Hope you make lots of yummy things.
Sorry About the crumble and the immune system Ivy but great on the exercise. Good u focus on the positives.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine but on the bright side, my body wouldn't let me eat those other things, and now I can so I am pretty darn thrilled. I could even eat dairy if I wanted, but NO THANKS!
DeleteHave a great week and boogie boogie.
I'm allergic to chicken too, really have to give it plenty of time between. Sorry about the cake. Great news on the 65K!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are allergic to the chicken as well. For awhile, I did great on the locally grown organic chickens but now, even those are a no-go.
DeleteHave you been able to add anything back that you've missed?
Well, your food may have tasted like cardboard feet, but your REAL feet are obviously made out of something much stronger. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy. How goes you? Find any goodies at Whole Foods lately?
DeleteI nominate you for Athlete of the Year!
ReplyDeleteHahah, you are funny. Thanks.
DeleteGreat job on the jogging. Sorry to hear about the chicken.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn. Loved seeing all the food you made this past week. So many yums.
DeleteWow that is awesome about the jogging. You go girl. I can't run to save my life. That stinks about the chicken.
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches :-)
DeleteOooh wow, 10K with 6.5K jogging is really impressive!! I'm still working on 5Ks--and I end up walking part of the time! Also great that you can eat peanut butter; it's hard to imagine life without it. ;) Take care!
ReplyDeleteI agree ... life without peanut butter is hard to imagine.
DeleteI guess that you are not wonder women any more you are road runner... beep beep
ReplyDeleteIt suck on the bird giving you issue :(

Are you drinking wine as you write this comment?
DeleteSeriously, thanks for the funny comment and for letting me know it was you. Very cool that you're back to blogging.
PS: !!!!!! ??????

DeleteThank you for those question marks, here I reimburse all of them and add one for interest. ???????

Hope that you are feeling better, dear Lady Whisk...
ReplyDeleteBell peppers are the food that effects us.

ReplyDeleteNo lie. You pooped into my head yesterday. Welcome back :-)
DeleteGood for you Ivy :) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria.
Delete'eating crumbled cardboard feet' ... certainly not to be recommended!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the reaction to chicken BUT I love the sound of your other foods:
"Medjool dates, mushrooms, peanut butter, avocados and cashews have been back on the menu for months with NO ISSUES."
Well done on the jogging too.
Hope your week is going well.
All the best Jan
Thanks, Jan. Week is going super well. It's Wednesday evening as I type this and we are soon to have breakfast for supper.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and have a yummy rest of the week.
I agree, crumbled cardboard feet always taste terrible.
ReplyDeleteGreat news about the jogging, that'll teach the immune system who is boss.
Tastes even worse the second day.
DeleteCongrats Ivy, well done cailin!
