I was brave this week*, and tried some fresh raspberries, not sure whether I would be allergic to them or not. I have a ton of food allergies, so am always wary ... but they are in season, on sale and .... guess what???? No reaction whatsoever! Yay! I had raspberries on my cereal two days in a row, and have suffered no ill consequences! Yay! Party time!

Anyone up for ice cream with raspberries? A good vanilla ice cream with raspberries slightly crushed with a bit of sugar ... anyone wanna share?

I am very happy about this! I am allergic to strawberries and cranberries are absolutely verboten by my allergist - they've never seen a reaction like mine to cranberries, apparently, so now I know both blueberries AND raspberries are safe, I am a happy person.



*The reactions that I have range from anaphlactic (life-threatening) to gastro-intestinal - and that's sometimes throwing up for sometimes 12-16 hours, so it DOES require bravery to try something I am unsure of - as I really hate vomitting.
