hi honey!!! SOOO happy to laugh with you again. Hoping your issues resolve themselves soon since the idea of you being in any physical distress, other than that which you intentionally inflicted upon yourself, makes me very sad. Please take care of yourself and hope to see your smiling face in person one of these days. xoxoxo

I don't know the details of your "issue" and I really, really don't want to, but I'll throw this out there. I discovered via GoogleFu a couple years ago that I had a sensitivity to carrageenan, which is an ingredient IN ingredients (cream especially, but also some flours and nearly EVERY pre-roasted chicken including Costco, dammit). It's organic, vegetarian- and vegan-friendly, and wreaks havoc with my GI system any time I eat some, which is about once a week because apparently I'd rather read the food label on the toilet than anywhere else in the world. Like, the grocery store before I make my purchase? For pussies, that's what that is.

In any case, my GP had never heard of carrageenan. My friends had never heard of it. My butcher had never heard of it. My multiple-James Beard-nominated chef *had* heard of it because he has tubs of two different kinds of it in his restaurant pantry (and I'd never had a problem at his restaurant, maybe because he stabilizes foams with it and they're tiny little foams on tiny little morsels of heaven?).

So there. Let me know if I've solved your health issue and I'll share my recipe for Cheesy Grape Nuts Snacks.

I will gleefully, and with great pride, consider myself a "beloved clown" from here on out.

Happy anniversary and many happy returns!
