12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 15

[87Heel]

Brack, did you get to see today's UNC-Wake game? The 57 and 82 teams were honored at halftime. Very special.

 

[brack]

DrHug is sick again! He is freezing cold, his eyes are red and burn, and all his joints hurt. This is the third crud he has gotten since we came home from the cruise. He had the bad chest conjestion thing, the terrible stomach virus that lasted days for him - about 10-12 hours for the rest of us - and now this. He is back in bed for the second time today, and he did not get up until almost 10. I need to get him out of those pharmacies where all the sick people are!

Chicken soup and 's


pun intended

 

[MrsMork]

GIVE NOTHING BACK!

I just sometimes have trouble picturing Angie as that kind of She is just far too sweet and innocent.

Yeah, what she said! And GIVE NOTHING BACK!

 

[brack]

And Angie snags the mini !!!
Brack was probably drawn to the thread because of the Peeps conversation!

ummmmmhhh PEEPS! Do they come in Carolina Blue?

 

[MrsMork]

Chicken soup and 's


pun intended

Gave him lots of . Wrapped him in a blanket on the couch then wrapped me around that to warm him up while we watched a little TV. But he did not even want any chicken soup. He drank a cup of tea, I offered the soup, first he said yes but nothing chunky in it, then no not at all.

I missed the game. We are in Durham (actually Butner north of Durham) visiting my MIL. I saw the local paper today at the Starbucks in Durham and they had the story on the halftime celebration. Everyone but Doherty was to be there. I bet it was cool.

 

[brack]

Hope everyone else is doing well and DrHug gets better.

 

[87Heel]

The Easter peeps do... but I have to say that I do not like the blue ones. Too much food coloring affects the marshmallow/sugar crust balance!

Did you get the snowman peeps in your cruise stocking?

Yes and they survived about as long as snow on CC!

Doherty tried to rearrange the SMU schedule but couldn't get it done. Cecil Exum also missed the celebration because he lives in Australia now. And of course, some members of the 57 team have passed away.

Hey, once you open the package, they're doomed.

The Durham paper also had stories on Jimmy Black (who lives in Durham) and on Doherty at his new school.

Those poor snowmen. It is a good thing Nathan was not there or he would be so traumatized whenever it snowed.

 

[elaineteresa]

So, do you have Nathan's meals limited to fresh fruit and Fluff??

veggies too. I think they tell you to get as close to the source as possible for all your foods - thus eliminating most pre-packaged foods. Even some stuff at the health food store is not all that healthy - just different sugars.

glad to see you have the fluff covered.

 

[elaineteresa]

That is one of our "silver linings". We are telling ourselves that this is actually a healthier way to eat. After all snacking on organic brown rice cakes is far better than eating ice cream.

who you kidding? there are lots of rice versions of ice cream aren't there?

Becka - whatever you think of Marilu Henner - her books contain a lot of recipes for living wheat, meat and dairy free. She has 2 young boys and she has always fed them that way. B&N usually has her stuff on remainder or the library should have them. She has some quick dinner recipes too.

Yep. In fact we have some of that rice ice cream in the freezer but it has not been pulled out yet so I don't know how it tastes.

I might look up some recipes from her books but I bet I will run into problems if it is meat free. DH is allergic to legumes (beans, nuts, soy, peas) and most meat free recipes include lots of beans or soy products which won't work here.

 

[elaineteresa]

I don't think I personally will be eating them. However, DS ate two this afternoon. Either he was starving or he has some kind of medical problem with his taste buds..... That may help explain why he was the most unpicky toddler I have ever seen.....

Giona loves rice cakes too. It surprises me - Jaea of course would not touch one - not enough sugar for her. They come in lots of great flavors - chocolate peanut butter etc.

try him with almond butter or some of the fruit spreads as a substitute for butter and cream cheese.

DH said the regular rice cakes have something in them DS can't have...probably some corn derivative.

DH did find some organic apple butter that will work and some canola margarine so hopefully that stuff will taste decent. DH spent 3 1/2 hours at the grocery store reading labels to try to find stuff that will work for DS. It looks like we have an entire organic marketplace in our pantry.

I think he found so many organic products to work that he even bought organic apples. I told him there was no problem buying organic apples but that fresh fruit didn't need to be organic to be dairy and corn free.

I'm sorry Dennis is not feeling well. 3x sick is quie a bit in 2 months. Maybe he needs another cruise. lol.

Did I mention that we booked the Sept. 1, 2008 DD 5 day cruise. Apparently it will also be a Deb Wills cruise with lots of special things planned. Everyone else cruising seems to have cruised tons already - so it seems like a fun group. Dody also will be on that cruise.

Becka - I'll check the rice cake packages we have and see what I find.
There are also corn cakes - not sure if it is just corn sugar that he can't have or corn itself.

I find some of those margarine substitutes can give you a loose stomach so be careful.
