allergic to shrimp's brain

homemade bread pudding

That's homemade bread pudding.

I had a bad allergic reaction after I bit and sucked on a shrimp's head at dinner on Monday. My lips tingled, itched and turned red. They gave me half a Zyrtec right away and told me to take a teaspoonful of white sugar.

I didn't have any food allergies until then. I admit that my lips used to tingle a little after sucking on a shrimp's head before but the feeling wouldn't last so it wasn't a bother. But, boy, that Monday's shrimp brain must've been toxic!

The tight and tingling feeling on my lips didn't go away. Then yesterday, the borders of my upper and lower lip started to feel very dry too. I woke up today with my lips swollen and the borders dry and crusty white. My upper lip was very "plump" which was quite obvious that someone pointed it out.

I took a bath and most of the crust has fallen off. It's all superficial and not really that bad. My lower lip is returning to normal already. It feels like my upper lip would return to normal in a day or two. APPARENTLY NOT.

Gold ring size 6 for ref

Image
A “pawnable” 0.69g 18k Saudi yellow gold ring (photo sent by the Shopee seller). My ring size is 6... in case I forget. Another buyer left a review that when they took it to Cebuana, they received an appraised value of P1,800 or ~50% of the retail price. Gold 18k market value is ~P3,400 per gram as of today (Sept. 11,2024). But for serious assets = gold bars are preferred over jewelry.  Actual ring I received ✨ Pretty small hearts design and stamped Au750 / 6. The diamond cuts make it sparkle. It looks very nice when worn.

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁
