swollen lips update

dada's nomnoms

I cannot spell "broccoli" right.

Quick recap: Bit and sucked on a shrimp's head on 3/14/16 Monday, dinner. Lips tingled and itched so took half a Zyrtec right away. Lips felt tight for 2 days. On the 3rd day, 3/17/16 Thursday, woke up with noticeably swollen & white-crusted lips (mainly upper lip). It got a little better during the day. On 3/18/16 Friday (TODAY), woke up with the swollen white-crusty lips again (upper lip's center border line's barely visible); it looks worse than yesterday. Took Cetirizine 5mg (half of 10mg tab) in the afternoon.

So, am I allergic to shrimp now?

It's turning out to be shrimp week here. Had a large ebi tempura (no head) on 3/15/16 Tuesday for dinner and pancit with baby shrimp on 3/17/16 Thursday for dinner. The pancit noodles tasted like it was boiled with shrimp essence (dinikdik na shrimp heads and shells).

I'm getting ready for bed now. Slathered lips with petroleum jelly and took another 5mg of Cetirizine, just in case.

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.

December in food pics 2023

  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 😁

Mango season and food pics

Image
 It's mango season! Lots of sweet ripe mangoes for sale around us 😋  Mango Slices, Pork Tocino + Vinegar Sawsawan My current favorite bigas  variety is sinandomeng. It is buhaghag but still soft, but not all sinandomeng  are the same. I prefer the one by Golden Grain's. Mango Slices, Beef Tapa + Salt on the Side I asked for salt. Maybe I'm having too much sweet fruit.  Mango slices, Purefoods hotdogs + UFC Banana Catsup I prefer Purefoods Cocktail Hotdogs compared to the regular sized Tender Juicy. Two weeks straight of sweet mangoes is cloying (but good for digestion!). Will hold off buying them for now.
