Tuesday I picked up a dozen eggs from my parents. Yesterday morning I cooked the first egg that’s been cooked in our house in over a year. I was trying to make a custard-type egg dish for Zac, for a few reasons. For starters, it would be a relatively new … Continue reading
Last week I missed sharing a lot of things, so here’s a little update on how the kiddos are doing. When I left off, we discovered I had inadvertently corned Zac with dishwashing soap. That put the pork trial back in full swing, albeit with some residual reaction symptoms. We … Continue reading
When it came time to consider another meat trial for Zac, I admit to being at a bit of a loss. My awesome lamb guy only raises lambs. We’re pretty confident chicken (so probably turkey and other poultry) is a trigger, so we didn’t want to go there. Game meats … Continue reading
So I had this whole post worked out in my head for today, and then Monday night happened. Sunday, Zac really seemed to be on the upswing. He’d gotten his appetite back, was playing and his nose wasn’t running as much. So it seemed like a good time to write … Continue reading

While we dealt with all the fun viral sickies this week, we realized that all day on Saturday Jed had told us “something is wrong with me”. Of course, both Darrel and I were like “Duh! You’re sick!” so we ignored him. Finally he climbed up on my lap at … Continue reading
When I wrote about making my own hand cream out of tallow, I mentioned that my Mom had told me once about “how to clean your oil” but that I didn’t know how to do it at the time. I promised that the next time I made hand cream, I … Continue reading
Mr. Happy is now in the unpleasant position of not having any pain relieving medicines he can take. Ibuprofen was a major fail; acetaminophen might eventually pass, but it showed fail signs when we tried it a few weeks ago. Our compounding pharmacists are waiting to hear back from their … Continue reading
