*Okay, it’s a horrible pun. But I”m an English teacher. We’re genetically programmed to come up with groaners like that. [Sorry about the bad lighting. . . by the time I got this photo, the sun–and the HH’s car–were long gone.] Hope those of you who celebrated had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. And for the rest […]

January 6, 2010 by 41 Comments
So. Are we sick of giveaways yet? 😉 Okay, I guess that the chance to win something you like–especially if it involves food you like–never becomes stale (even if the aforementioned foodstuff does). Still, with 2010 barely upon us, I’ve decided it’s time to give the giveaways a break. I love being able to supply […]

August 4, 2009 by 40 Comments
[Recent ACD-friendly dinner: Gena’s Raw Cream of Zucchini Soup]. It’s now been over ten years since I began this round of the ACD. These days, I no longer even think about my food as “different,” and never worry about what I can or can’t eat. But it wasn’t always that way. It took a series […]

Kitchen Sink Kitchari (an Anti-Candida Stew)
August 20, 2008 by 35 Comments
[UPDATE, JUNE 2010: In March, 2009, I began a much more serious (and much more restrictive) candida diet after suffering from myriad candida symptoms for more than 6 months. Finally, with a raging rash taking over my torso, I had to succumb and begin the diet afresh. After 15 months (so far) I’m 90% better, […]
Hello, Goodbye

HELLO: Okay, now, prepare yourselves. I am about to be completely serious (I know! It’s just so not like me). No cute little puns, no jokes, no sarcastic remarks about Ms. You-Know-Who and her trademark belly laugh and equally ample lack of talent (Oops. I guess that sort of did count as a kind of sarcastic remark, […]

January 2, 2008 by 1 Comment
Well, I hope everyone out there had a Happy New Year. Ours would have been very pleasant and laid back–after all, we were guests at my friend’s 8000 square foot “cottage” (you read that right–were we lucky, or what??), we were in a pastoral wonderland of snow, lake, birch trees, rare birds and other wildlife prancing past the […]
