A very Berry Christmas

Over the weekend, I ate Turkey and I mean a lot of turkey. I'd gone to a friends party and the ONLY thing (I thought) I could eat, was turkey. Well, I forgot that Turkey does not agree with me from my experience over Thanksgiving. Sure enough, about an hour after eating it, I felt unwell and really tired. It took me all of three days to get over the fatique and stomach problems. As a result, I didn't try anything new until yesterday. As the title suggest, it was a berry.

Strawberries!

I think they're going to work out for me. I've had no major stomach upsets and feel pretty good. But the fact that I did have some issues suggest that I'd better challenge them again after I'm off the antibiotics (on the 20th yeah!!!). The major problem with strawberries is that, they aren't in season. In order to reintroduce this food, I took whole, frozen, unsweetened berries and blended them up into smooties (I'm having a morning protein shake now per the Dr's orders). Yesterday I had three such shakes with strawberries, my normal one at breakfast along with one for afternoon snake and one for a bedtime snack. You'd think I'd get all berried out but they were all berry delicious. Maybe I just miss strawberries. In any case, it looks like berries are on the menu for Christmas!
