My turn to blog, I'm late, not even sure this will post right since my computer (or blogger) is acting up, but here goes anyway.

So the last few days have been...interesting to say the least. I found out Friday that I'm allergic to food. Okay, not quite all of it, but believe me, my world has been rocked. No more dairy, eggs, wheat/gluten, turkey or...ready for this? Garlic. I'm allergic to garlic. Color me annoyed.

I'd already taken processed sugar and white flour out of my diet, and I'd suspected the gluten problem so I've researched a lot about taking it out. Anyway, we headed out to the grocery store (which has a health food section) and a separate health food store on Saturday to stock up on alternatives. Let's just say this, we're going to have to take out a bank loan to pay for healthy food.

I'm now the proud owner of a...box, I guess you'd call it, of tofu. I'm really struggling with that fact as I've always sworn I would never ever ever in a million years eat tofu. (I'm still not eating it plain...it's used as a replacement for eggs in baking recipes.)

I could go on but the last thing I'll mention regarding food is that A) in order to have a good variety of stuff I can eat, I have to bake/cook a lot of it myself and B) I can't stand baking/cooking. Since Friday I've baked a loaf of pumpernickel bread (awesome), some chocolate chip cookies (eh, maybe a 3 on a scale of 10) and some muffins. All gluten-free. And I'm baked out. (No half-baked comments, please. ;))

I have no idea what I'll do when I travel or go to National. But if you see a chick lugging around an extra suitcase full of unidentifiable food, it's probably me. If you don't make any cracks about the tofu, I might even share. :)
