No, I'm not dead. Just slack.
Reading another blog, whose owner is afflicted with the same problem as me, was the inspiration for this post.
I'm allergic to all nuts. Peanuts, cashews, macadamias, almonds, pinenuts, brazil nuts etc. I could die if I have them. I carry an epipen with me everywhere I go, and Bloke is just itching to one day have reason to use it on me. His time, I'm sure, will come. Dining out is a minefield, and at every new place we go to, I have to be very particular about ordering. We have our favourite, no fail places, which we love. But we also like trying new places as well. One day, this trying of new places will be our undoing, and Bloke will get to stab me with adrenalin.
I also have a penchant for recipe magazines. Always have. However, it pisses me off to no end that at least 1/3 of all the recipes call for the use of nuts. Surely it would not be too much trouble to dedicate one issue per year to "nut free" recipes? They do special issues for diabetics, gluten intolerants and all manner of other food "issues" - why not nut allergies? It confuzzles me.
Anyway, wedding dress trial is tomorrow night. I hope it fits.
Hope you're well.
