I’m still savoring those incredible heirloom tomatoes. Yesterday I had one chopped up on a salad and it was as sweet as strawberries.
Another item I picked up to try was blueberry butter. I was SO excited when I saw it. I love apple butter and pumpkin butter, so what could go wrong? Well, I tried it on my oatmeal this morning and wouldn’t you know, there is absolutely zero blueberry flavor. It’s basically just tastes like heavily spiced applesauce. It’s still really good, but no blueberry!
And here’s another failed purchase at the farmer’s market the other day. I knew we were about to run out of fish sauce, so I picked up a giant bottle of my favorite Shrimp Brand sauce, only to discover another humongous bottle in the bottom of the pantry that I bought a few weeks ago and forgot about.
That is a lot of fish sauce. Luckily this is a staple item in our house, so we will get through it all, just slowly.
But enough about fails, how about a win?
You may recall that I’ve been trying to correct a B12 deficiency with a high dose supplement for the last few months. Well, on Monday I went in for a blood test to see if my numbers were up. Check out the stellar results!
1415! That’s up from 180 just earlier this year! I know it’s flagged as too high because it’s outside the normal range, but my doctor told me that there’s really no such thing as a B12 level that’s too high. She’s never heard of it being harmful for anyone.
I just ordered more of the B12 supplement I’ve been taking, but I’ve downgraded to a 1000mcg dose that I may only take every other day. I am so glad this worked for me, nothing else has in years!
That’s my good news for the day, tell me some good news of yours!
I’m blown away by your B-12! My trainer has me taking that and B-6 everyday. I love the natural energy boost.
You know what would be good? Heirloom tomato butter.

Good lord, woman! That would be good on everything!
That’s such fantastic news, good for you and your B12!
To continue on my tomato rant, some of our tomatoes are SHAPED LIKE STRAWBERRIES. Can you say cute? can you say yum? Cute yum cute yum!

How fun! I’d totally try to make a recipe that plays with their confusing shape. Like maybe dipping them in a thickened balsamic vinegar to resemble chocolate covered strawberries.
Hurrah!! And this was just from the tablets, right? Not injections? Wheeee! Plus, you’ve reminded me that I think I packed my own B12 tablets in my suitcase. Time to go a-rummaging, a-rummaging, a-rummaging!

Just tablets. I couldn’t believe it either. I was sure that I’d just imagined feeling better all this time and that I wasn’t really better. Hurrah for health!
So glad to hear something finally worked!! Are you feeling a lot better too? I sure hope so!

Definitely feeling better. I can’t even believe it!
So glad you are feeling better Alayna!!!! I’m glad you are getting to the doctor more often and taking care of yourself.
GOOD NEWS !!!!! I closed on my house on Monday the 6th. I can’t wait to have the family over soon and entertain and play some outdoor activities.
