The tragedy of food allergy

I have to make the little good-bad-good sandwich with this post.

Ummm.... Thank God I'm not allergic to peanuts, so I can eat peanut butter as much as I please.

Okay. Now for the bad. Tonight I have discovered that I am allergic to (drumroll)...

Bleu cheese.

Well duh. With my severe mold allergy, how could I not expect this? A couple of bites of the stinky stuff (Roquefort, I think?) and my mouth was crawling with little itches. If I had eaten any more the little buggers would have crawled down into my throat and up into my ears. Shudder.

I'm also allergic to all melons. I am mildly allergic to nectarines (my favorite) and mangos, but that is controllable with medicines. I am allergic to uncooked pecans, walnuts, and dates.

Please no jokes about the dates. Let me make them myself. Wink, wink.

It's mildly tragic, that a would-be foodie such as myself would have oral allergies as well as lactose intolerance. I'm sure you really wanted to know these things.

I am not allergic to chocolate or wine. That's the good thing that ends this food allergy sandwich.

Good night.
