Much of my reading lately has been a cookbook called Dropping Acid. It's designed to reduce the amount of acid in our diets. The recipes have a wonderful balance of seasonings. We are indebted to Chef Marc for bringing food with flavor back into our lives.
So far I have made five of the dishes. Three I can reuse without alteration, but two I had to throw out because one ingredient was an "idiosyncratic" food which, although not particularly acidic, caused a really bad reaction for Bob, the member of our family with acid reflux. I will use those two recipes again but without the rogue ingredient.
Now that I have a better grasp of these major dietary changes, I can get down to the business of the last two weeks of summer-- friends and solitude, projects and relaxation, reading and thinking, and hanging with the kitties.
