Holy Fucking Shit!

errantemberI 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.
