13 (nearly) Thursday things

1. I don’t know what day it is today.  We are finally home after over 45 hours of transport.  Maybe 48 hours.  I don’t know.  All I know is I woke up at 6 am on Tuesday to catch our first flight in Uruguay and it’s currently Thursday in Uruguay.  You do the math.  I’m obviously in no condition to add.    2.  One of our layovers was 12 hours long.  Yikes. 3.  I just got back from a run.  Yes.  Given the previous two points, some may call me crazy.  Some may be right. … Read more >

Hi from South America

I’m not really too sure how to post from my celly. I’ve only had my iPhone for a few weeks so it’s a miracle I even had the foresight to get the WordPress app prior to leaving the country. Anyway.

Kyle prefers to remain unlabeled, and I think that’s perfect.  It’s definitely easier than saying he’s a sometimes vegetarian who eats cheese, but drinks almond milk and is high raw and vegan when his wife cooks, but occasionally orders meat when he’s at a nice restaurant and it’s from a responsible source.  Right?  It’s only natural that our habits and preferences rub… Read more >

Fodmaps friendly snacks

I miss apples.   During my elimination phase of fodmaps, I realized that certain snacks in certain combinations have been hard on my digestive system.  It’s hard for someone who doesn’t have GI issues to understand, but I’ve been trying to figure it out, bite by bite, and even though I’m still thrown off every once in a while, I’ve kinda figured out what works. It’s all about the FODMAPS load.  <— that’s a link to FODMAPS info and a fairly complete food list It basically comes down to two principles.  1.  Stick to one… Read more >
