What's for dinner at your place tonight?

How about pickled?

I can do pickled vegetables as well. My allergist explained the chemical changes that pickling causes that allows me to eat them, but I can't remember the specifics.

I should note that raw vegetables won't lead me to anaphylaxis, but it does trigger mild asthma and major itching. Cucumbers and avocados being the worst.

All this talk about eating Mediterranean has me somewhat bummed. I am really allergic to cucumbers and that seems to be a staple of a lot of these dishes. But I'm also allergic to most raw veggies as well (i.e onions, carrots, broccoli) . Also avocados.

Sorry. That's an awful allergy. I have know two other people with the same thing.

I'm doing italian sausage mixed with red onion, spinach and roma tomatoes over spaghetti Squash tonight. I do 90% of the cooking so am trying to mix things up a little. Instead of doing spaghettig and meatballs I did meatball subs on Monday. Aldi also had a deal where turkeys were 50 cents a pound so on Sunday I'm doing a turkey. Tomorrow night will be smashburgers out on the blackstone.

I have some fresh fruit/vegetable allergies: bananas, carrots, cantaloup, avocados, walnuts. I would get an ichy throat. Cooked items are fine. I believe the group of allergens are associated with the birch allergy.

I got allergy shots a couple of years ago for my hay fever, but they have helped with the food allergies as well.

When I was a kid I was allergic to avocados, cantaloupe, watermelon, bananas. Over time I developed a tolerance. Zero issues now.

Was there purposeful development of tolerance or just more growing out of it? Tropical fruit is another category that causes me issues along with melons. As I've gotten older, some have changed or lessened. I can eat bananas with no problems as long as there is no green on the peel. I can now eat watermelon with minimal discomfort.

It just seemed to lessen over age and the more it lessened, the more I ate them.

I took one of those food sensitivity/reactivity tests from Everlywell a while back. Turns out I'm moderately reactive to cow's milk, eggs, wheat and yogurt. I can't say I've noticed problems with any of that, so I haven't changed my eating habits because of it.

Chili on the Traeger tonight. I rolled the meat into a patty about 1/2 inch thick and smoked that and peppers and onions for about an hour, then started cooking. When it was done I turned it down on 180 and let it smoke for another half hour. Turned out pretty good.

Been buying the wild caught sockeye salmon filet from Costco once a week. Enjoying it with a drizzled olive oil, lemon juice, spice mix and capers. Simple bake at 375 for 20 minutes and finished with 2-3 minutes under the broiler.

We do atlantic salmon from Trader Joe's every week. Quality and freshness are excellent and the price is good. Our go-to method is to spray with a little olive oil, add a liberal amount of our favorite salmon seasoning, and bake at 275 degrees for about 25 minutes. Comes out perfect every time (medium-rare/medium and consistent all the way through). The worst thing you can do it overcook salmon and this method is very good at preventing that.

What seasoning do you like? I'm not sure what the missus usually puts on it.

My nephew is a professional chef and he gave me a jar of his secret seasoning last fall. It is amazingly good, but I don't know what is in it.

My method cooks at about the same time/temp, but instead of olive oil I brush on a light coat of Italian dressing and use Plowboy's Fin and Feather seasoning.

I like overcooked salmon. Come at me bro. I can take it.
