Chicken and Eggs

I used to like fried chicken so much. Thanks, Kenny Rogers and KFC. :) Omelet was a staple breakfast item too.

Not till last year... I was confined for 1 week after eating those two to my dismay. They were added to my other kiddie allergens: yummy seafood (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, squid). I am such a whiner in the food department because I realized the best things in life are not really free. :(

In the first day of my recent seminar, Mr. Hubby called me just to say hello and share something that bothered him. We were enjoying our conversation for a good deal of 15 minutes (overseas call is pretty expensive), when he discovered I was starving as it was in the middle of our lunch break. So, I rushed back to the training room, only to find out that the only dish left in the table was fried chicken. Left with no choice and so little time, I was able to eat my top food allergen, with hesitation. I was grateful that I did not feel a single itch after that incident.

That good feeling did not last long. Adventurous me challenged my immune system and ate the omelet and corned beef served during breakfast the next day. Before lunchbreak, I saw rashes in my fingers and before lunch time was over, I was itchy all over. I even asked the training officer to excuse for 15 minutes since I needed to buy antihestamines. The pharmist gave me Zerlex. It gave me temporary relief for good deal of 2 days. However, I still felt some itchiness and some rashes were still visible.
