OK, so this won’t affect my inability to eat M&Ms or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups without breaking out, but I had a revelation this weekend, during a tour of the Theo Chocolate Factory in Fremont. Unlike the pure, organic, fair trade Theo, most “chocolatiers” mix additives with their cacao. Additives such as SOY LECITHIN. I’dContinue reading “Game changer”

Going without
I’ve mostly had to give up chocolate, because it made me break out. Pretty much every time I ate it. I have found that powdered hot cocoa does not have the same effect, so I’ve been drinking that nearly every day. Unfortunately, I continued to break out even when I wasn’t eating chocolate, so IContinue reading “Going without”
What I have for lunch
I have been eating soup every day this week, because there is a drive-through soup place and I like their tomato bisque. I don’t want tomato bisque today, I want Pho, but there’s no place to get Pho in this county, best I can tell. Am reminded why I do not frequent the drive-thru teriyakiContinue reading “What I have for lunch”
Oniongate
Since last I wrote about my lunchtime issues, I’ve been indulging phases such as the Subway tuna sandwich fixation, which was followed by the similar yet different Quiznos tuna “bullet” obsession, wherein I eat the same thing several days in a row. Last week, I made a return to the local co-op deli. I firstContinue reading “Oniongate”
Carcass
Did you ever think you’d see the day when I’d be buying chicken hearts in bulk and feeding raw meat to my dog? After reading a lot about the health benefits of raw feeding (less shedding, no bad breath, smaller poops, walking on two legs, growing opposable thumbs), in addition to my concern that herContinue reading “Carcass”
My canine’s canines
I loved getting a root canal so much that I’m getting one for my dog. A little more than a year ago, I noticed that one of Isis’ teeny little lower front teeth looked like it had been worn down. I googled it, got scared and took her to the vet, whose reaction was basically,Continue reading “My canine’s canines”
Changing tactics
If anyone’s wondering, my last effort at Weight Watching was a miserable failure. I weighed the same this morning as I did when I decided to go back. I don’t know why I can’t do it this time, unless it has something to do with living with a dude (so not only have I stoppedContinue reading “Changing tactics”
Them apples
An appropriate topic for this Washington-based blog, no? I’m eating apples again, now that my TMJ has stabilized. It started with a visit to the Olympia farmer’s market in August, when some dude sliced off a bit of a Ginger Gold and handed it to me. Delicious! I bought two. Buying apples can be frustratingContinue reading “Them apples”
Weight for it…
I lost 1.2 pounds since last week’s weigh-in. Which sort of surprised me, because my scale at home wasn’t showing much of a difference. I’m pleased. I think I’ve been pretty good about following the plan, since Sunday anyway. (Friday and Saturday were potlucks, and there’s no controlling the food there.) I’m still working outContinue reading “Weight for it…”
So many blackberries
Can you believe some people pay for these things? Why, around here, it’s like they grow on trees! I like to eat them with vanilla ice cream and Hershey’s dark chocolate syrup. Or Heath Bar magic shell. Whatever’s on hand. Today, I’m trying Pioneer Woman’s cobbler. And may drizzle some chocolate syrup over it
