Tuesday, September 22, 2020 Allergy Specialist

 My appointment with Dr. Savi (that's what the office staff call him, but I don't think it is his real name) was this morning.  I really liked him.   I went through a list of foods and chose some that I think might cause me problems and I was tested for allergies to them.  The only two allergies that showed up were dogs (I thought I was allergic to cats) and molds and spores in the air.  However, Dr. S explained that the testing does not show whether or not I am sensitive to any of those foods.  He suggested that I keep a daily diary and "look back" at it rather than checking it every day or every other day.     UGH

I drove east to 78 so I could go to Wegmans, where I bought groceries.

Week of Sunday September 8th through Saturday September 14, 2024 (new password info)

 SUNDAY:  I got up a bit earlier than usual today because I had things to do to get ready for the COUSINS GATHERING later on here at my house.  Church was very good.  I went to DOLLAR TREE and purchased three bags of ice before going home.  When I got home, I started setting the backyard up with chairs and tables and filled my good cooler with ice and drinks.  Gail arrived first and Peggy and David arrived a few minutes later. Then Mike arrived.  He gave us the sad news that his wife Janie was just diagnosed with breast cancer, after a routine mammogram, a second mammogram and then a biopsy.  He said it was caught very early and Janie seems to be accepting the news pretty well.   David set up his grill in the garage and I brought the meat out.  He seemed disappointed that I only provided FOUR (very large) hot Italian sausage.  I suggested we cut them in half, but he did not seem to want to do that.  He cooked both the hot ...

 SUNDAY:  I decided to go to TOPS before going to church, hoping to get some IRISH SODA BREAD.  They had it (right inside the front door) so I got it, and a couple of other items. Church was excellent, the sermon was about HELL!!!   After church I took my groceries home and put the garbage out and changed into jeans before meeting up with Glenda, Elaine and Betty at LaPorts.  They all had corned beef and cabbage, but I had the turkey dinner.  I brought most of it home.  Pam called and wanted me to go to a musical event at a church, but I really wanted to spend the rest of the day at home.  I had a nap.  I scanned some of Peggy's NURSING HOME MINISTRY at Mt. View into her flickr account.  I found a movie: I ACCUSED, based on a true story.     MONDAY:  I had my chiropractic appointment this morning.  I did some jobs around the house until it was time to go to the Y for my class.  It went very well. ...

Stir in coconut, oats and craisins.  On a side note, when I was gathering ingredients, I found three cans of baking powder, one expired in 1997, on one I could not find an exp. date and the third had expired but at least it expired in this century.  Two of these went into the trash. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased  baking sheets . Bake 8-10 m...
