This has been a darned busy month! At the beginning we had Searle's Raid in St. Augustine, then the family trip to Orlando, and then back to work...but work's been full of school tours, educational outreaches, and LOTS of Volunteer Coordinator stuff -- primarily planning for the next two months, when we have events and days where we need all the

Foxmeat

You can't have sushi? That seems pretty healthy.

Those are great pictures of your chickens. I told my husband about Foxmeat, and we both thought that is a brilliant name. Hope you manage to keep Foxmeat alive. :)

I am sure the limitation in sushi involves pathogens and parasites. My best friend/roomate is a biologist, so I have heard all about such things in detail :)

Thanks! That makes sense. Now that you mention it, I remember someone with leukemia having to give up sushi until finished with all their treatments and cleared. I should have thought about that.

Or it could be no sushi because Izzy's stuck in low-carb land for the sake of her blood sugar.
Sushi being composed mostly of glutinous rice, usually white, not one of nature's lower-carb foods.

If she was a sashimi fan (shudder raw fish shudder), she'd be golden.

Apparently there are high levels of mercury in certain kinds of raw fish used in sushi & sashimi, and I indeed am a fan of that kind of thing. So I was told initially to just avoid raw fish kinds of sushi, but then I went on the no-carb diet, and now I'm on the low-carb diet...

So in the end, I can eat some sushi IF it doesn't have raw fish, and IF I keep careful track of the amount of rice I ingest...and in the end it's all just easier to avoid it all and just not take the trouble. Boo. :C
