Allergy Holiday!
Feb. 2nd, 2009 01:41 pmI'm celebrating my birthday by declaring an allergy holiday, in which I eat *almost* whateverthehell I want for lunch.
So I'm having a pasta dish called Mezzaluna Cipriani (or something like that, but spelled correctly), which contains cheese (bad), cream (bad), maybe eggs in the pasta? (verboten), more cheese (bad) and tomato. With bread, which is allowed. For dessert, I got a brownie (eggs+chocolate, both deeply verboten) which I shall eat if my esophagus is still functioning after the yummy, yummy pasta.
In other allergy news, we finally found a laundry detergent that is safe for Charlie (he gets a rash from, like, everything)--Seventh Generation free/clear Baby laundry detergent. We believe Charlie's allergies are really just his way of forcing us to buy green, the little tree-hugger.
Anyway, unlike Tide or All Free & Clear, which also have no fragrance or dye (they say), this also has no "optical brighteners," which are particles that stay on your clothes to fool the eye into thinking they're brigher than they are. Since we have to wash our clothes in the same stuff as his (since he touches our clothes), we expect to be looking very grey in a month or so.
