It's people like you that I would like to smack around quite a bit. Food
intolerances don't go away. You wouldn't want to spend most of your life in
the bathroom, would you? Or clawing at your skin until it was bleeding. Or
going to the Dr. because of ear and sinus infections. Or wondering why your
blood sugar was so high. That's what certain foods do to me. Daughter has
food intolerances too. Just not necessarily the same as mine. Husband does
not but he does have gout.

I grew up in a household of picky eaters and my mom has food intolerances.
Making or cooking three different meals is no big deal to me. In fact is
one reason why we mostly went out to eat when I was growing up. There was
no such rule that if something was on the table you had to eat it. I would
never ever subject anyone to that.

I assumed that I would be able to turn this chicken into something she would
eat. I assumed wrong. I will get husband to eat it. He's not picky.
