cooking with MAV

That's why we started slicing the kernels off the cob first!!!

 

Well, I usually do that, but at the time I was sitting at my computer at work.

I missed the orange kitty waving for her share.....

 

Oh, the one who projectile-spewed corn all over the the dog who then ran through the house? :

 

Yes, that is the kitty!

See orange kitty in action here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8931821915393699179&q=julian+plays+with+cats&hl=en

(no, it is not a hurling video--it is adorable!)

 

Fruit, fruit, glorious fruit! Cantelope, strawberries, cherries, yum yum!

Pretty soon the blueberries will be in and I can pick ten pounds of them and stuff my face!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Ok I just loved the babies belly laugh, thats the sweetest sound on earth.

 

now that I have pigged out on blueberries, what is left?

orange kittens are really stinky.

 

Sitting here in the kitchen, I am thinking that the *assholes in the living room are making me puke. I think I will make some puke casserole with tuna catfood and forcefeed to these people and smear their faces in it.

 

Just sitting here reading thru all your posts. This is what I can't eat, so what's left? Not much.

I can't eat:

gluten
dairy
nuts (peanutbutter)
Tomatoes
Onions
Citrus
Green peppers
cabbage family
salty foods
MSG
Chocolate
Decalf
Anything with sodium nitrite in it
All premixed foods
All premade soups
Kale
Lettuce
Any darkly colored spice
Lamb
recently made gluten bread
vanilla

Every isle in the grocery store is THE ISLE OF NO. Very little comfie food left.

Sparrow :'(

 

wine and graham crackers. A new low.

 

Beans, beans, the wonderful fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
You should eat beans at every meal!

Beans, beans, are good for your heart
The more you eat, the more you fart
The more you fart, the better you feel
You should eat beans at every meal!

Beans, beans, oh please, not again
It isn't if, it's always when
If I see one more bean, I'll surely scream
I couldn't eat more, even with whipped cream!

Beans, beans, are powerful fuel
they give you gas that could drop a mule
Or stop a mugger right in his tracks
Beans are great, and them's the facts!

 

Here is something to not eat; honey bunches of oats cereal with your fingers, washed down with wine.

Hmmmm....I am really tired.

 

Now it's fudge with apples. I think I need to rehealthy my diet.

 

On my really bad, tired days I was known to have had a diet root bear and gummy bears for dinner....

 

these days, everything is better with flies on it.

Or at any rate, it had better be, because that is the seasoning of the hour.

 

Tonight....dinner is:

boneless pork ribs browned in a dutch oven (no idea why it's called that, marian) with chopped fresh garlic....then smothered in organic baby carrots, onion quarters, apples cut into 8ths with the skin on, fresh mushrooms, bay leaves, marjoram, oregano, floated in pink zinfandel wine (because that is what was on the counter next to the stove), a dash of red wine vinegar, a splash of cranberry apple juice.....simmered for an hour and a half until the pork is spoon-tender.

Wow, this is really good.

 

I just saw this thread. Very interesting. My question is, how come you can't have decaf anything? Is it because of the small amounts of caffeine? Does that include decaf sodas?

 

Never looked at this thread when it was in it's heyday...didn't know then I was on a collision course with MAV crap.  I was pissed with my restrictions before, no dairy or any of it's singled out components, at all, and the low sodium restrictions, now with the mav restrictions I can't eat most of what is left.  What really stinks are the fun words I need to look for now, the "amines", the "sulphites", "nitrites and nitrates", the "let's play the game with msg and all it's cryptic it's aliases", my favorite fruits, and what really bites is all the natural food products that are on the warning lists of caution, such as malted barley or brown rice syrup, chocolate products, vinegar, onions, nuts,  yeast, etc., etc., freakin' etc..

Are you friggin' kidding me?! 

I still have coffee, mostly decaff and not every day, but on the weekends I allow myself a little caffeinated coffee, and a regular Pepsi.  And I did find nitrate-free bacon and hotdogs that fall within my lo-so levels, but overall this all really bites, big time. Eventually I'll be left with nothing but rabbit food.
I don't think I'll ever be happy again.

 

I have caffeine up the wazoo. I love the stuff. Gimmee an energy powerfuel or a double espresso or turkish coffee, mmmmmm. Now, if I >>stop<< caffeine, then I get a migraine. I need a steady supply, or I have to do without altogether. I prefer a steady supply.

the thing with the food avoidance stuff is: if it isn't YOUR trigger, and not everything is, you can eat it. And if you have been sleeping regularly, eating carefully, and are taking preventive meds, then you can eat a little of one of your trigger things...like, if I am in good shape, I can go out and drink Breakfast Stout at the local watering hole. But if I am not, a mug of that stuff will knock me right on my prodigious @$$.

Citris is not a trigger for me. Aged moldy cheese is not a trigger for me. Tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, tobacco, are all on my nono list. Chocolate, vodka (no idea about that one), dark beer are sometimes triggers.

You have to go on a REAL elimination diet, then add stuff one at a time, one every couple of days, to see what gets you. then it isn't quite so bad, because probably not all the stuff on the list is a trigger for you. I know someone who gets migraine whenever he eats an onion. I don't; I get HORRIBLE deadly flatulence. But not migraine. That person can eat tomatoes; I can't. So you have to test yourself.

And you have to eat whole foods or things you cooked yourself, otherwise you don't know what is in them.

 

I am eating Cool Whip with a spoon. Mmmmmmm.
