I love beans and peas too!

The only raw beans I eat are sprouts from our farmers market. I buy mung bean sprouts. I also buy alfalfa and micro green sprouts.

Do you mean fresh raw veggies Satarri? I find that fresh local veggies are special when cooked too, they just taste better!

cw,

That’s pretty good. I love all of those.

I don’t buy kale. Don’t even know how to cook it.

My daughter puts spinach and kale in smoothies. She drinks something called kombucha. I have never tried it.

I do like carrot, apple and celery juice. As for smoothies, I do fruit or fruit and yogurt.

This weeks grocery flyers best deals feature local peaches for $4 or $5 for a 3L container. Cauliflower $3 each. Sweet corn $1/5. Club size mushrooms $4. Broccoli crowns $2. Unfortunately that's from several different stores.

I have been buying strawberries, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches and melons. All are delicious!

The fresh corn, zucchini, spring mix salad, tomatoes, and lots of other veggies.

Produce is really high though. The last avocado I bought was $1.89. I remember when they were only $1.00.

I don’t eat a lot of meat. It’s too hot here for heavy meals.

I love eating hummus with naan or pita bread. It’s cold and nutritious. My daughters and I go to this little hole in the wall restaurant on Magazine St. It’s so good! They specialize in Israeli cuisine.

It's that time of year when there are so many fruits and veggies in season it's impossible to eat them all.

Llama,

My dad used that a lot! Unfortunately, I inherited all of his allergies! Maybe I will try that.

Need: Me, too. Have you tried Vicks Sinex? I have been managing mine and only have the sinus headache at very end of my night. Weather related.

I have been having sinus issues. Don’t feel like cooking or eating much of anything today. My husband is picking up something for us after he leaves his office.

I had some corn on the cob followed by a jumbo size hot dog. But now I want to eat some of that yummy sounding cheese!

Haven’t tried that, cashew and Satarri. Sounds interesting.

Where did you buy it, specialty shop or ordinary grocery store?

I tried Bread Cheese (not cheese bread) for the first time. It's a cheese
that you grill without batter or anything.
I really liked it.

Good point Anabana,

My husband has an epi pen for a Turkey allergy . He always asks in restaurants. He travels with his job. So far he’s been given Turkey bacon by accident and Turkey soup instead of chicken noodle. He now never gets any bacon or chicken soup out. Luckily he knew as soon as he tasted it and took a Benadryl . So far he has to eat more than a taste to have his throat close up . Which did happen once at someone’s house .

Ana,

My brother ended up in the hospital with the same issue as you. He is severely allergic to shrimp. There is no tolerance for cross contamination in these situations. He’s so careful when he eats out by asking questions about food prep.

I have a bazillion allergies and asthma. I had a systemic reaction to my allergy shots. I never reached maintenance. I always did as I was told and waited after being given my weekly injections.

I was driving home and decided to stop by my parents. I’m so glad that I did stop. I started having really strange symptoms and had a rash all over me. Then, my throat started closing up, I had difficulty swallowing.

My mom told me to call the medical center where I received my shots. The tech told me to go to the nearest hospital. I nearly died from my reaction. They pumped me with steroids and kept me in the hospital for awhile.

As someone with a fatal food allergy, please use a clean spoon or knife per product. My last anaphylactic shock was courtesy of cross contamination.

Venting,

Oh, I have stopped people from doing it. They laugh at me and I laugh back but I tell them, ‘Don’t you dare put that peanut butter knife in my jelly jar!’ LOL 😆

Need, haha :)
I feel exactly the same way:
“I hate if someone puts the same knife in the peanut butter jar and jelly jar.”

But by chance, I’ve gone through my whole life, never meeting anyone who uses the same knife.

Almond butter can be an alternative to peanut butter.

Way and ITRR,

Same here. I think hotel hot tubs are gross! I don’t care how expensive the hotel is, I can’t do soak in their hot tub.

Way,

I have the spoon issue too! LOL

I don’t like peanut butter and jelly together anyway .
I eat them both but not at the same meal .
I agree though , separate knives .

My mom and grandma became ‘dump and pour’ cooks! They could eyeball everything and it was delicious! I think this naturally occurs in long time cooks.

Way,

I have some weird quirks too! I hate if someone puts the same knife in the peanut butter jar and jelly jar. 😆 I use two separate knives because I don’t want peanut butter mixed in my preserves or preserves mixed in with my peanut butter.

It makes me crazy if I see someone spoon out of a mayonnaise jar ( or any other jar ) then open a new one and put that same spoon in the new jar . To me , now the new jar has been open as long as the old one

Public bathing has always been a gross factor for me. I am like the secret service when I have anyone in my pool. Constantly calling out gross behaviors, like spitting in the water or not getting out for long periods of time. I tell all the kids that I add a chemical that will turn them purple if they pee in the pool. You know who is guilty when they are getting out, looking for that color change. Ugh!

So, I'm not for any public bathing facilities at all.

Ball pits and jump pits at the trampoline places are both guaranteed to make you sick. So happy to see other fun things brought in that can be cleaned.
