Be Proud of It

I have mold and pollen allergies and asthma and an intolerance to milk sugar butter cream fried or greasy foods, especially lard. I've inherited tendencies toward gallstones, ulcers, lactose intolerance, alcohol intolerance, allergies to skin care products and eye make-up, bad reactions to most allergy medicines. 

Luckily there's the fruit and vegetable kingdoms! I love black tea and black coffee and seltzer! I love to make my own food: granola, sourdough multigrain breads, millet, Basmati brown rice, quinoa, and other grains, home cultured buttermilk and yogurt and chicken breast marinades and salad dressings. I love to make sourdough buttermilk wholegrain waffles and pancakes especially corn. I make cold soups for summer and hot soups in the winter. I love every bean known to man. I have never met a vegetable I didn't like.

Occasionally I have made my own pasta and my own tortillas from scratch. I love to teach cooking and baking. I truly believe that people with eating disorders could heal if they learned to make their own food. That's what I did starting at age 13 and it worked like magic.
