Parts of it were just excellent! The kids glommed on to cousin Brian, got to see my niece Stephanie, my sister too of course. Took the kids to the beach twice, drove to Palmdale to see an old friend, spent oodles of time at the local (and very nice) park, and got Sarah past the hump with a new med. So, yeah, it was great! And the best part? We weren't HERE!!!!

Is your hubby behaving now that you're back?

meh.

Well....I don't think it's for everyone, thats for sure. But when I was on the uber diet and without both gluten and dairy for 3 months I did get a lot of unexpected benefits. The coolest was that my joints stopped aching and my allergies were very much better.
Although I'm not giving up gluten permanently, if I begin to get achey I can knock it off for a couple weeks and I'm good to go again.

As for my kids, when Sarah eats wheat she gets sick. Sick Sarah, no meds, downhill from there. Emily doesn't get sick but it sure aggravates her ADD, her grades drop off a cliff and she gets very snarky.
I think Hannah is okay with wheat, but uncultured dairy gives her terrible eczema.

Oh, I don't have anything against being gluten free at all. What got me was that we should all be gluten free because Gwyneth is.

But, she's Gwyneth.


Maybe if her lovely co-star from Roseau MN were gluten free I'd consider. Me-ow!

Well ya know everyone's SMELLS, it's just only certain people can actually smell it.

I want to try the blue and purple potatoes sometime too, pbj. Think of the pile of purple whipped potatoes I could make...

Purple potatoes don't make good mashed potatoes. They either aren't waxy enough or are too waxy. I forget which way it goes.

Sigh.

I don't care for the flavor of the purple ones in mashed potatoes.

They're good baked but not mashed.

Then again, I happily eat mudbugs and other such food.
