Yesterday I challenged my system with peanuts. It was supposed to be pork, but it smelled as if that had turned even though the grocery store expiration had not passed. I even went so far as to cook it up, thinking, maybe it was the smell of raw meat that was getting to me. But alas and alack, when I tasted the cooked meat on Thursday morning, I realized that it had turned. *sigh*. So, now I was left with the option of waiting a hole 'nother day to start the challenge or just trying something else. Hence, peanuts! They are easy to get from vending machines and fairly plentiful.

I tried them first for lunch and then later, for a snack. Last night I ate a handful with dinner. I thought I'd made it through this challenge unscathed, but this morning, I had somewhat loose bowels. I'm not certain that it was actually the peanuts that did it. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part... Anyway, I'll see how the next couple days go. I'll challenge with another food on Monday, since I have an audition Sunday and don't want to risk getting sick beforehand. I'll try peanuts again on the third day of another challenge and see if they really do bother me.

Right now it looks like I'm 0 for 3 for these reintroduced foods. *sigh*
