Passover and Gilly

Well, there's only 2 more days left of Passover and that darn lizard is taking all my enjoyment out of the holiday.

I love fried matzoh, but Gilly decided that it wasn't for me.





In case you forgot, Gilly is short for Gila Monster who has the original spit that I have been taking via injections for diabetes.





Oh, so one night I had the fried matzoh with marmalade for supper and the next morning around 4:40am I was sick as a dog. Gilly wasn't too happy and neither was I.

I also had some matzoh ball soup. That was a bit iffy too but I think I can have it again.




I had bought the ingredients to do a shiitake and leek kugel, I can't even face the thought of it. I'll try to make an omelet out of the mushrooms. I am enjoying though pizza made from a board of matzoh, layered with kosher le Pesach spaghetti sauce and then the top has grated cheese. It's put into a hot oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.

The nausea has lessened which is great but the lack of appetite and taste buds going flooey is still weird. I've lost about 8 pounds since going onto Byetta. My blood glucose numbers are great so I hope that Gilly eases up a bit and lets me enjoy my food again.
