free yeast

A while ago I did a survey for Fleishman's (NO idea how to spell that!) yeast, and they sent me coupons for SIX free packets of yeast. What do I make? Cinnamon rolls? Coffee cake? A new kind of bread? :)

the latest challenge

Since my stomach seems to have given up entirely on the whole don't-give-it-back thing, I am working on what I can eat that at least won't be TERRIBLE to taste again for the next six hours.

Foods so far: Apples, pancakes.

.... though there definitely could be worse menus, this could get dull.

yum yum

I came up with a big pile of sliced tomato, avocado, orange bell pepper and cucumber with a light drizzle of Greek dressing. It was REALLY good!

dying for a good snack!

I am really searching for a snack that I can just munch on, without getting a bunch of empty calories and feeling gross afterward. I don't know if this exists, but I am on the hunt!

on the other hand, I may be cut off from dairy

I have been getting some nasty acid reflux for a few months now, and I just put it together that a lot of times it happens when I have dairy products, like cream cheese or yogurt. I knew that when the baby was born I was going to be off dairy (babies in my family tend not to tolerate cow milk) but I might start sooner, just to get some relief!

heat wave

As soon as this durned heat wave calms down, I am going to make kind of a hybrid chowder. I can't quite face eating clams, so I am going to put in some cooked lobster-ish meat (kind of like krab) instead. Also, instead of corn I'm putting in some peas, so we'll see how that goes.

As far as the heat, though, I am just waiting and waiting for a break! I even thought of the obvious solution of cooking at night so the apartment would be cool, but the temperature isn't going down at ALL! What happened to those nice daily thunderstorms we were getting to clear all the humidity and heat out?
