Look who’s come to watch us tinkle in the recently redecorated upstairs bathroom.  He arrived today and I absolutely love him! And, of course, his name is Peek-A-Boo. Isn’t he adorable?

Given all my digestive challenges, I’ve been forced to spend more time in the kitchen, learning to make food I can both digest and enjoy.  After discovering my gluten intolerance a year or so ago, I’ve been learning how to cook and bake gluten free foods, and now I’ve got to work with the limited foods my body can handle, currently (soft, lean foods.)

As fish is one of the few solid foods I can eat right now, in moderation, (fortunately, I love seafood,) I’ve been learning to cook it at home (something I’ve always been afraid to do.)  So far, I’ve baked and grilled Tuna steak, Swordfish steak, and Salmon.  In an effort to branch out, tonight I made butter sautéed scallops with a lemon butter garlic sauce.

Hot damn, were they delicious!

The more I cook and bake, the more comfortable I get in the kitchen and the more I enjoy it. At this rate, if I successfully master all of my favorite foods, I may never go out to eat again.
