So this happened in my town this week:

Okay, no hospital, just more antibiotics for a longer run and a recommendation to "slather" my infected leg with petrpoleum jelly every morning. Whew!
Cei-U! I summon the goo!

I've also grown to enjoy corn bread With or without sugar? This is crucial.

And Dan, have you ever found any slippery elm powder? I know we talked about it long ago, on CBR. Started to pick some up at the health-food place down the highway from me last time I was in there, but didn't because I'd had no problems to speak of in awhile. Famous last words. Note to self: Rectify that this weekend (need to go there anyway for more guar gum, which I use as a thickener in my frappucinos).

That sounds better than a stay in the hospital, Kurt. Just make sure not to mix up the petroleum jelly with the grape jelly!
And Dan, remember, the slippery elm is not an immediate symptom-relief kind of thing - it's something you use daily, like a vitamin pill.

Have noticed increasingly when I visit bookstores how empty the stores are of other people.

I do not like corn bread.
And yesterday when my boss took me to lunch I specifically asked for mustard and NOT mayo on my club sandwich ... Yes it had mayo on it. And since I know they would just throw it away if complained I tried to eat. Almost got it all down, with the mustard I asked for after the fact. I tasted that crap in my mouth no matter how much liquids I drank. Ugh. Horrible stuff.

I do not like corn bread. You are a monster. Never had a problem with it, being a somewhat sane human being (culinarily speaking, anyway) & all, but it's clear from similar posts here & other places I frequent that a neurotic hatred of mayo & the like is both as deep-rooted & as pitiable as DE Sinclair's (& a few similarly impaired others') pathological loathing of bananas. At some point over the course of human evolution, I can only assume that a select few's synapses went badly awry. Maybe someday a cure will be available.

I don't eat it by choice, but it's by far not something I will avoid eating. If it is put on my plate, I would prefer the less sweet version of it though. My mother cooked it a lot when I was young, and while she never made me eat it, I would try it here and there and my opinion of it has yet to change Yes, my hatred and loathing of mayo is much akin to DE's for bananas. While I have no hatred for bananas, because of mayo and the fact that it does at times end up on something I am going to eat (and as my mother rarely made me eat anything I didn't want, the respect to eat what's given to you is still with me, especially in people's homes and restaurants)I understand DE's stance and feelings. I hope not .... mustard is the best thing for a sandwich.

Food phobias (probably not the best noun, but offhand I can't think of a better one) are interesting, to say the least. I don't seem to have any -- looking at my waistline, I rather wish I did, in all honesty -- but of course they're not at all uncommon. On a local Facebook group I'm in, the other day a woman noted that she couldn't abide the thought of cooked eggs, to the point that the knowledge that a local restaurant's chicken salad included it (albeit in apparently utterly undistinguishable quantities) meant she couldn't eat it. WTF?
My mother abominated fish; so did H.P. Lovecraft. That's apparently a fairly common sentiment. Mother couldn't stand the thought of any sort of salad dressing except, maybe, French, & that certainly included mayo. Same with chocolate, but in that case it's because she'd developed a physical intolerance to it, somehow; she told me she'd liked it just as much as anyone else as a kid.

I have an intolerance for strawberries (they make my dust and mold allergies so bad I cannot go near my comic books - or a bed or sofa or carpet), but I still crave them like crazy. I sometimes make that horrible strawberry-flavored pudding because there are no actual strawberries to set off my cross-allergies in that chemical hodgepodge.

I'll eat an egg anyway one can make it. I've eaten them right out the shell at times. Not for culinary reasons, but I can take a whole egg down raw. I prefer fried or hard boiled, then scrambled. I have only not tried poached so far. I love fish. Missing chicken (or for that matter foul in general) I could live on a diet of sea/water dwelling creatures. Fish and shellfish especially though. Delicious. I don't eat sweets much, which comes as a great surprise to my children. It's not that I don't like it, I just can do without it. And with what high calorie beer I drink, I am fine with my gut expanding as I get older from that. I don't help from sweets. I have an intolerance for strawberries (they make my dust and mold allergies so bad I cannot go near my comic books - or a bed or sofa or carpet), but I still crave them like crazy. I sometimes make that horrible strawberry-flavored pudding because there are no actual strawberries to set off my cross-allergies in that chemical hodgepodge. I can't think of a food I like a lot that I can have for that any reason. I voluntarily don't eat some things, as I mentioned above, but there's nothing my body forces me to want to eat, that then rejects it or causes me pain. There may be something out there that I haven't tried yet that would do that, but so far I have not had an allergic reaction to a natural food.
