ugh. stupid me.

I am allergic to peanuts.

not deathly but... itchy & hives etc.  each exposure the reaction is more severe.  Which means eventually yes - I'll get the full on anaphalaxis shock.

Today I ate half a granola bar before thinking hmmm this is crunchy..

J has been doing the groceries.

guess I should have read the LABEL!

Took two allergy pills, am currently itchy.  I'm the only one that eats granola bars in this house.  Usually I toss them in my gig bag in case I need some food before/after teaching, on my way to a gig - you know. safe, quick, transportable, never spoil food.

glad I ate it at home instead of SATURDAY NIGHT when I was at the gig.

Eeek! Yeah, definitely stay away from them. Maybe you're allergic to mold? Most nuts are really moldy and mold allergies are rampant.

One reason I prefer to do my own shopping & cooking: too many food restrictions. Allergic to seafood and acidic/oxalic foods cause me almost endless grief.

grocery shopping gives him something to do
& he knows I'm allergic. He's the better cook of the two of us.

Maybe he's trying to bump me off for the insurance money? j/k.

Perhaps he misunderstood you when you said you "craved peanuts".

:P
