getting older/allergies

it seems the older i get the worse my allergy gets. I've had 2 major attacks in the past month. definitely not something i need. it seems they find different ways to list it in the ingredients.

Vegan chocolate bar

Very bitter. Didn't taste any honey flavor. Would not buy again.

Purchased at whole foods, Lexington, ky
Price $6.00

Soy whip cream

Expense! But, tastes exactly the same as the regular dairy type. The people in my house loved it and they can have milk.

purchased at whole foods, lexington, ky
price $5.19

finding foods

I've lived in Lexington for about 2 months now. while this is a largish town, it's definitely not Orlando/Kissimmee. finding vegan/dairy free foods are very hard. the whole foods is about 1/3  the size of the ones in Orlando and a lot more expensive. the super Kroger has a section for special diets. but, it's mostly just organic. makes finding foods a hunt. not bad. just interesting. at least, I'm pretty much downtown.

things change

living in a different state and with family. i actually have a reason to cook again.

been here. been there.

seems like things are back to normal on here with posts/comments.

been traveling a lot. thankfully, to major cities.

favorite "trashy" dish

my friend and i were talking about "trashy" or "junky" types of food that you just love.

a favorite among my family is baked french fries (baked fries? yeah, sounds duh.) covered with pasta sauce and soy Parmesan cheese. so basic. but, soooo good.
his is greasy fries with hollandaise sauce. never thought to try it. i do make the sauce with almond milk.

you?
