Dairy Update

Still not consuming the milks. Still bites the big one.

Made a 'cheesecake' with cashews (can't vegan stuff be cheaper?) from some random Internet recipe that was okay. Too much lemon juice. Really snappy flavor that hit the back of the throat. Real bright. I think I'll cut it with half fruit juice next time. I really liked the date and macadamia nut crust, though (as well I should---expensive!).

I'm going to try to figure out cheaper ghetto alternatives (are there ghetto vegans?). Too poor for this.

Cheese!

I want it!

What If I Can't Eat Chocolate Either?

I'm allergic to milk, and that's been confirmed both by reactions to it and by a blood test. Yet I wasn't tested exhaustively. I have to rule a few more things out. I haven't had chocolate for many months.

I'm scared.

What if I react to it? Or what if my anxiety provokes a reaction that isn't real, and it's really safe for me to eat, but I don't know that? That would be worse somehow. I don't eat chocolate that much, but I'd like it as an occasional option.

I need to see an allergist.
