Diario de Fritzy 22, 30 dic. 22

I keep reading information on the anti inflammatory diet. I had some information saved from 2017 or 2018, whenever I first tried it. Things I am not supposed to have at all include added sugar to anything (or honey or agave). No butter or vegetable oils. No shellfish. I don't eat much fish but I do like shrimp. I hardly ever eat it because it has tons of cholesterol in it. I do remember eating it last time, though. Mayonaisse is also not good to have. I rarely use it except when making a tuna sandwich or egg salad. I found a recipe using avocado oil but think it would be easier for me to just smash up some avocado and mix with tuna. I remember doing that before and adding chopped almonds. Red meat should be avoided. I have quite a bit of frozen hamburger. I can't afford to not get rid of food I already have so I will use up what I have, but in small portions. Nightshades may need to be avoided - certain vegetables like tomatoes, white potatoes, and peppers. But I don't know if I really believe that.

Excited about the rain we are getting. There may be areas of flooding. I am at the highest part of my street so don't think I'll have problems except there are already some really big puddles. The local news station said the foothills, especially Grass Valley and Nevada City may get 6-8 inches of rain. I live about 30-40 minutes away but still considered the lower foothills. My new rain gauge currently shows 2 inches from the rain that started yesterday. I may have to empty it if we get to 5 inches and then see if it refills. Everyone gets so excited when it rains after so many dry years. But I also remember the really bad flooding in the 90's when I lived in the Sacramento area - people having to be rescued off their roofs. Hope we don't get that much rain. It's okay to have a storm and then several days to dry out before it rains again but it looks like we may have rain most days for the next 7-10 days.
