Afternoon all.

Hey @CapricornFarm. Has anybody mentioned psoriatic arthritis to you? I know you have been having a long of problems with pain issues the same as I have. PA could be the answer you are looking for. Hope you are seeing a good rheumy and or derm specialist. Feel Better.

You guys are just cruel talking about all this food that I can't eat. Doctor branded me with a B.R.A.T. diet. For those of you who don't have kids or hacve never been privy to work a ped's unit. Banana, rice, applesauce tea. He did say that I could have chicken breast as I am grinding it and noodles...which I'm going to eat whether he likes it or not. I've had to eliminate sugar from my diet unless it's in fruit. No red meat. I can eventually have fish but nothing fried, no deserts. All the cooked veggies I want.

DH asked me to bring him a granola bar earlier. I said, can I bring me one too? Nope.

I am feeling slowly better. Tired as hell, no energy but the pain hasn't been too bad today...yet.

But man my appetite is coming back, I'm especially hungry in the afternoon and evening. Morning not so much for some strange reason. Fruit helps some. I've demolished a honey dew melon. Could chew through the rind I could!

Aren't butter beans fatter, larger lima beans?

I think so, white large beans I call lima aka belly busters, green smaller I call butter beans, guess it depends on where you where raised and what they called them, also if mom said butter beans you went into the hunger strike thing Noooo butter beans

We always called the bigger white bean butter beans. Probably about the size of a quarter. I liked them pretty well.

Better than butter? But, then wouldn't they be 'better' beans?
