But we’re having trouble finding the quality and size we’d like to get. So far the selection at Kohls, JCPennys, and Walmart have been disappointing.

This week my tick-panel blood work came back positive for alpha-gal syndrome. (www.alphagalinformation.org) So it seems that I’m allergic to red meats, and possibly dairy as well. I also seem to be reacting to the airborne fumes from cooking/cooked meat.

I’ll be sticking close to home…
