Hiatus....

Hi all...I am very sorry for my long absence.  I actually figured something may be wrong with my blog or email because I hadn't had any comments in well...practically ever so I decided to shut it down for a while figuring I may have been talking to my self this whole time;)  And lets face it...when talking to yourself you quickly realize that you are NOT very good company:)  So I popped on today and Voila I had a comment!!!!  I am not alone and my pitty party may now end.  Thank goodness because partying by myself is not fun.


So my little experiment with cheese and my migraines has come to a close.  I gave up cheese shortly after my HUGE migraine in January.  I was cheese free for 8 weeks and have had 2 other migraines in that time.  So...I ate cheese.  No migraine, then again and finally today.  No headache at all.  It's not like I am eating a pound at a time.  Usually 2 slices at lunch with some crackers, veggies and fruit.  One comment mentioned vitamins. I hadn't talked to my doctor about that and honestly would love to hear what he says...thank you for the suggestion.


I am also a lover of baking...so here is what is new with me.  In February I baked two cakes, one for my daughters 5th birthday and one for a friends daughter whom was turning 5. I will post pictures in the food area.  If there are any cake, muffin or dessert recipes or really anything you would like me to try, let me know. I  will bake it and post pictures.  I will also do a "taste test" with my judging panel of 2 5 year old girls and one 7 year old.  My husbands place of work will also get a sample.  So email me and I will try my best to reproduce your wonderful recipes. Look for to hearing from you all!  My first attempt will be Edime wontons.  I tried out soybeans on my family tonight and they loved them.  So...now to wrap them in a wonton and see if they still think they are yummy!

Well, I haven't posted before...but I do like reading your blog :-) Just wanted to let you know that you were not talking to the air and that my blog feels pretty empty sometimes too...but then, I don't post as often as I'd like.

Hope you are having a great week!
Sommer
