The exact anniversary of it went past without me noticing, but this month marks five years since I last had to go to an ER or urgent care!!! :D
Still don't know what exactly is wrong with me health-wise, but I am doing so much better than I used to be it's a little ridiculous. I was in an urgent care or ER every summer for severe allergic reactions for years, and now I hit that late June/early July mark and don't even notice

When I ordered this tteokbokki, the allergen info said no shrimp. Now that I have it and I checked the ingredients why does the allergen info now say shrimp???
It’s most likely just minuscule trace amounts found in the fish sauce they used but I don’t think I can risk it

Hey y’all! I have family in town right now, and as a general heads up to people who don’t have food allergies/restrictions/stuff like that*:
If you want to go out to dinner with someone you know has food allergies*, PLEASE discuss where you’ll go with them before you finalize plans.
This message brought to you by my mom inviting all the local members of my family out for barbecue, a thing I cannot have in restaurants because either it uses sauce, which has vinegar in it (and usually so much sauce is used there’s a high risk of cross contamination) or it smokes meat, in which case I can’t breathe. Smells good! Usually tastes good! Very bad for my asthma.
*idk where food intolerances fall on this scale? but I couldn’t think of a good catchall term for “cannot eat some foods without bad consequences”

(This conversation happened a few years ago but I still think about it from now and then . because I blow my nose really a criminal amount per day)
Me: (Blowing my nose)
My brother: How do you do that?
Me: ????
My brother: Blow your nose that hard. When I do it, it comes out like this (the most sad, quiet, pitiful nose blow; would not wake the entire house up, like mine and my mom's do)
Me: Um. I've been doing it for a long time?
My brother: (Annoyed) So have I, I'm 10 years older than you
Me: I just take a deep breath and then... use a lot of force? So I can get all the snot out at once and only need 1-2 tissues instead of 3-4. I don't know what else to tell you.
