One s-more...



I attended my nephew's wedding which was amazing BTW and when the sun set I had only ingested one no no as far as foods go. It was an outside wedding with a sit down dinner but at the end of the day we could make s-mores and I did with the thought that I would make it and give it away...well, I didn't I started eating it and didn't care. Guilt overcame me and I did care. The next day I had an itchy spot on my face, but otherwise I was okay. No more s-more.

Hubby bought me a hat to wear to the wedding...I don't like hats but I like this one. HUGS

PS update...35 mice...3 in the humane traps when we got home from the wedding. I guess they like us.

Glutino products

While I don't like to ingest anything with yeast or eggs I do love Glutino bread. Well toasted they are a treat for me. Corn Harvest, Fiber, Flaxseed...good stuff. I just tried their gluten free crackers and they are also tasty. I had given up on eating crackers, I was tired of the rice cracker offerings, so these are a nice change.

Last weekend my sons and granddaughters visited...heavenly. The guys played a show locally and my youngest son debuted with his band. Band mama was in her glory. Love it!

We have a big mouse problem here... I have humane traps set in the kitchen and we are up to catching and releasing 30 over the past month...perhaps they are running right back in, yathink?

Tuna fish sandwiches



I missed tuna fish sandwiches, but I did't miss mayo...yuch! I hate it; it never made me feel good when I did partake of it. So I have struggled, missing tuna fish sandwiches...but not any more...I found a Wegman's brand pouch tuna that is simply tuna and water and salt. I make a fake mayo out of almond milk and raw cashews. Process them together until they are the consistency of mayo and then add the tuna and spread between fave gluten free bread. My fave lately is Glutina Corn Harvest...I try not to eat yeast but this bread toastly dark is so yummy and then the tuna combo spread between two slices...amazing!

Got back on my bike finally! Hooray! Loved it!

Had a wonderful Mom's Day! Felt so loved! Feel so loved! Truly thankful.

Pork and beans...still good.


Even with all the scare over swine flu I made and ate pork n beans and enjoyed them. Thirty years or more ago there was a swine flu scare and I remember people avoiding eating pork back then.
Well, I took out my Easter ham remains from the freezer the other day and boiled it up with a pack of Navy beans and it is delicious. If I never post again you will know that I died of swine flu. But I will have died with a belly full of good food.

A little dark humor to lighten the load of the swine flu hysteria. HUGS

Fun night in the city



I sure enjoyed my night in the city. NAVAR's performance at Webster Hall was amazing! I loved spending time with my sons. I did very well eating what I can eat and avoiding what I should avoid.

eleven days of feeling better

I am thrilled that I am on the low thyroid pill...I sure do notice I have more energy and sleep better and stomach uneasiness completely gone and on and on...the benefits of a more fully functioning thyroid are huge!

On another front, I called my daughter when I found out she has a phone and got the number so we could sing happy birthday to her...yeah!!! Disconnections are no fun...glad we are back in touch...she was a block away from the shootings in Binghamton. She works a block away from the place where it all went down and I am so thankful she is okay.

Saw ADVENTURELAND with my son. It is a wonderful movie...funny with nice messages.

HAPPY DAY!
