The Ink-Pot and the Palette

I find, on considering your idea, that I have way too much insecurity around to food to publish exactly what I eat. I think I could trust this particular community not to weigh in with opinion or judgment, but it's an area where I'm keenly aware of my imperfection. "What if someone notices that I ate potatoes today?"

Hm. I'll have to give that more thought.

Speaking of spuds, the nightshades are implicated in osteo-arthritis, which I have a tendency towards. In addition to taking high doses of a naturopathic formulation of MSM/glucosamine/chondroitin, I'm also advised to keep away from potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes and bell peppers. I kind of miss potatoes, but the rest I'm indifferent to to begin with, so no hardship. (I actually allow myself one side of hashbrowns a week, in order to continue enjoying a very longstanding Wednesday breakfast with a coworker-friend.)

I had never heard or seen the word myclonus until this moment. How interesting! Avoiding nightshades seems like a fairly easy experiment to try. I'll be interested in your findings!
