Holy Fucking Shit!

I just rescued a red pepper from the verge of Fungal Fuzziness, and broiled it according the the directions in The New Best Recipe, and it's *fucking* *killer*! Very sweet and fruity, firm but slippery, with smoky undertones and perfectly complimented by the garlic cloves I roasted along with it. I previously was fairly "eh" to most non-stuffed peppers, but this is definitely a major new Food Find.

In less positive food news, I thought I'd found an In to the No More Ice Cream Problem (I've got immune reactions to whey and cane sugar, among other things.) I had some Nadamoo, a non-dairy ice-cream imitator at

Art Outside (pictures forthcoming) at the Enchanted Forest last night. It certainly tasted good, so I picked up some more today at Central Market. I shoveled some into my mouth on the way home after verifying it had neither whey nor cane sugar (they use agave nectar instead.) However, upon re-reading the ingredient list, it contains coconut oil, which I *also* have a reaction to. So now I feel a lot of the symptoms I'm both coming to expect with this kind of reaction, and also remember from previous interactions with these kinds of foods. A slight burning in my mouth afterward, along with subsequent feelings of slight dizziness and caffeine-style jumpiness and a minor headache. Of course, all this could be totally psychosomatic.

Lucky you

slight dizziness and caffeine-style jumpiness

You know, there are people who pay good money for drugs that give them this feeling. Count yourself lucky!

You're probably right. I've thought about deliberately ODing on things I have a known reaction to just to see how far I can take it and how much of a difference it makes.

There is another variety you might want to look at that is called So Delicious or Soy Delicious (I forget which). It is vegan, but I'm not sure about the coconut oil. It is the only pseudo-ice cream I've had that I think tastes decent. You can get some at Wheatsville.

Excellent!

I put it on my list. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll pick some up Wednesday.
