Accidental Chicken

Today I got stuff done. I went to target to pick up a prescription. Then I was off to costco again for veggies, fruit and a few other things. I ended up with mini cucumbers, mini bell peppers, fresh green beans, plums, pasta sauce, black beans and avocados. At costco i ate several of their free samples. One i thought was just some cheese but i took a bite without really looking and realized it was meat, either chicken or turkey. I almost spit it out but got all socially weird and told myself it was turkey. Then i decided to go back to the booth to check it out. Turns out it was chicken. Awesome. In case you are new to the blog, i am allergic to chicken so this was not good. I freaked out a bit then decided to get on with my life.

After that I went to Randalls and got whole wheat tortillas, milk, and pumpkin pie mix.

When I got home at 2 pm I decided to make lunch. I made black beans with onions, garlic, corn, tomatoes and red pepper. I then spread some garlic Boursin cheese on a tortilla and added the black bean mix and covered it with another tortilla. Then grilled it in the foreman. After that I cut up half and avocado and sprinkled some red pepper on it. Mmm.




About an hour later the chicken hit and I was off and on sick for 2 hours. Then we had to go to the new house to do a final walk through. Luckily I was fine during that. The house looks great and I am crossing my fingers we close tomorrow (or Tuesday??).

I did some laundry today and finally got through it all. I even put most of the clothes away. I will get to the rest when I am done with this.

I als seperated my veggie snacks into plastic baggies so that they will be easy to eat at work. I also packed an avocado and nut mix as well. That might be too fatty for a snack though. But good in omega 3s so might do it.

For dinner I made a boxed lasagna with a side of green beans. I ate this while watching Dexter and sipping some red wine. Mmm.





My tummy is still theatening me with pain. People often ask me if maybe I am over the allergy and I always tell them it is not worth the risk to test that. Now I did, on accident, and yes I am allergic and never would I test it on purpose again.

This week should be intense. I hope to Jesus we get the house. If we do we move in on Saturday. Yay!! Nothing is packed yet but I don't think it will be too awful. Moving to Austin mike and I packed up the place in just a few days. Not a big deal. Not perfect packing but it got the job done. Luckily only moving 3 miles this time and not a few thousand miles.

Alright laundry is calling my name.

hey lady, i'm sorry to hear about your allergic reaction. that really sucks. i do that sometimes too - test my allergies to make sure they're still there. yup, they are. no fun being sick :(
also, i had a thought. if you want to get more fiber/omega 3's you should add ground flaxseed to your breakfast. i have been doing that... you can barely taste it, esp if you mix it in with your cereal/oatmeal/whatever.

Good ideas! I like to add them to oatmeal, or breading on pork chops ot turkey or something. I also put it into some rice dishes for some extra crunch. Mmm. Thanks for the tips. :-)
