A Farewell to Omelettes

About 7 years ago I was tested for allergies. I was stuck, probed, prodded, scratched, and probably was implanted with electronic bugs or something. When all was said and done there was a long list of things in the environment I was allergic to: Most grasses, tree pollen, weeds, you get the idea.

I also was positive for soy and corn. Soy was a surprise, but I suspected corn would be on the list simply because of the physical reaction any time I'd have some popcorn.

Over the years I've found there are other foods that cause a similar reaction, but only if eaten in sufficient quantity. Lettuce, broccoli, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, peas, and green beans immediately come to mind.

Now alas, I add eggs to the list.

If I'm baking something that calls for eggs as an ingredient, I don't seem to get a reaction. But eggs as a main part of the meal will eventually make me a very unhappy person.

I may be able to do okay with egg whites, and Egg Beaters are palatable with enough spices thrown in there. The next few weeks will tell. Either way it looks like I'll be looking for new alternatives for breakfast on the weekend.
