My worst fears realised...

Found an alleged specialist coffee place in Osborne Park. It's the front end for a coffee machine supplier, and it looks like a proper cafe. They have expensive little cakes and giant cookies. I couldn't see a chip fryer. The coffee was more expensive than the city. Oh Posh Nosh, how I miss thee!

( And how was the coffee? )

Hey, it's me!

20 minutes into tonight's episode of House, the desperate chronically ill guy with the gun is... me! Right down to the post chicken pox/neuralgia and hypersensitive hearing. He needs to go beige.

ETA: 45 minutes in: It's not a tooma. I bet it's preservatives and tomatoes. And mint, oranges, curry, bacon etc etc etc. And let's not forget soup.

Perhaps now would be a time to ask my fellow chronic sickly friends if you've ever had House diagnosis fantasies? A team of dedicated brains and a whiteboard, just for you?

Killer sprouts

So, no mung bean sprouts in the two places I looked, but there was mung/lentil/pea sprout mix. I know I have to limit the pea sprouts, but I'm itchy, coughing, tingling and swelling and that's the only thing it could have been. Granted, if I'd thought a little more carefully I have recently overdone mystery amines, but they don't usually make me itch. And tingle. And swell.

FFS

To quote azhure, stupid human suit.

ETA: Glutamates in the peas. Tasty = itch :-(
