Food

Daughter wanted to come cook supper for me. I informed her that until she could keep herself safe around food, she wouldn't be cooking. She is not happy, but she did not dispute that she has somehow managed to get into food this week. She has informed me she just won't come here today. That's fine with me, though I suspect she will change her mind.

I'm finally getting some work done in the kitchen, which is nice. I'm also figuring out my diet rotation. It is challenging, as I knew it would be, but I think I'm coming up with something that will work for me. I have to rotate food over 3 days, so I'm not eating the same things, which can cause new sensitivities to develop. I'm going to have meat one of those three days. One day my protein will come from nuts, one day it will come from beans. I'm going to have to do some tweaking, but I think I have something that will work.

Yesterday we ate out, and I chose a Mexican restaurant. I had bean burritos and asked them to use corn tortillas. I also had rice and salsa. I suspect there was something I was sensitive to, as I had some cramping in the afternoon, but it didn't create problems. It was nice to know there are restaurants where I can find food I can eat.

Marge said...: I eat gluten free, and find that Mexican works if I ask them to use corn tortillas instead of flour. My favorite place is Chipotle because I am also allergic to fish and shellfish, and Chipotle doesn't serve those things so I don't worry about cross contamination. It is challenging, isn't it? You seem to be doing a very good job and should be proud of yourself!; October 5, 2013 at 10:18 PM
Reverend Mom said...: Thanks. I like Qdoba for similar reasons. Chipotle puts ham in their pinto beans, which means I can't eat them. I could eat the black beans, but prefer the pinto beans. I've not done as well lately, and I'm feeling it. This week it's back to being very strict about it....; October 5, 2013 at 10:30 PM

Important People and Places

Daughter became my foster child in 1990, shortly before she turned 3, and I adopted her when she was 8.

Capital is a state capital in the midwest. In October of 2010 I became pastor of a church on the edge of town.

Administrative Assistant is my keeper. She runs the office at the church, and at heart is an artist. She helps turn my crazy ideas into reality.

Program is where Daughter spends most of her days. She does some piece work and participates in some classes and activities. She'd like to get community employment, but still has some work to do to make that possible.

Sister Best Friend and I met in seminary. We vacationed together for a number of years, and then she got married. We still do some cooperative worship planning. She seves a church less than an hour away.

Far Away Sister is 4.5 years young than me. She lives across the country. She was an electrical engineer until she stayed home to raise Tall Niece and Nephew. Now that they are graduating, she is planning to become a high school math teacher.

Sister is 10 years young than me. She is divorced and the mother of Short Niece. She lives in the same state as Capital. She is a teacher.

Brother is 11 1/2 years younger than I am. He finally got married in February of 2009. He lives near Sister. They are the parents of Baby Nephew.
