Well, my good intentions to keep up with this blog every week have fallen through. We got tests results back on my son that put a halt in my life. He is allergic to WAY more than we had previously thought. The list is as follows:
barley, corn, cucumber, currant, date, eggplant, garlic, grapefruit, lettuce, malt, cow's milk, goat's milk, millet, mustard, onion, orange, green pepper, red pepper, pimento, rice, rye, rape seed (canola), soy, thyme, tomato, wheat, watermelon, baker's yeast, brewer's yeast, all nuts except pecan.
Just about everything I cook has onions, garlic and bell pepper in it. I have had to abandon everything I knew about cooking and start from scratch. Fortunately there are a few really good websites out there and several books that I am in the middle of. I will start posting my new recipes and all those links and books very soon. I have gotten past the shock stage and have finally stopped crying every time my son asks for a "mushin" (muffin). Now I am fully stocked with all of the crazy flours we will soon become accustomed to and am tinkering with them in the kitchen.
