Torture

[cjsmith]

Yesterday's free lunch: pasta in assorted sauces, with bread and butter.
Today: someone brought in Krispy Kremes and left them by the microwave.

I don't for one minute think other people should have to change what they're doing for my comfort, but my God, I never knew how AWFUL this sort of thing could be. I am getting a major education here.

edit: AND there's an Enforced Fun at the office tomorrow! Guess what we're having! Pizza and ice cream! I think I feel an attack of bubonic plague coming on. *eyeroll*

I hope it gets easier too. What the heck can ya EAT? You're a way better cook than I am, I expect; what would you cook if you couldn't have ANY grains of ANY kind?

[edit: doh. I can haz grammar.]

I'm a good recipe follower...and there's a LOT of recipes out there.

I'll second someone from above.

You need to make an EXTENSIVE list of what you can eat. For example, instead of saying "I can eat greens" you need to say "I can eat
Bok Choy
Spinach
Collards
Beet Greens
Red Chard
Swiss Chard
etc, etc"

It will help you think you actually have more options.

Then you can eliminate the things you either don't like or have no intention of trying.

This website http://www.writerguy.com/deb/recipes/keyingred.html
has been extremely helpful for me in trying to figure out how to cook and prepare all sorts of veges (and also nicely gives you an extensive list of the types of veggies available locally. this is the recipe database for my CSA)

If you are on this diet indefinitely, I'd think about subscribing to Living Free, its an allergen free cooking mag...it might give you more ideas.
