What illnesses or health concerns did I have this month? Had put a new meal plan into effect so was doing great... no IBS flareups. UNTIL I ate friend catfish on the 23rd in Valdosta while on the way to Florida. Up a good part of the night with one of the worst IBS attacks ever.
What new foods, recipes, or restaurants did I try this month? Got reacquainted with several old recipes due to the new meal plan, including Catfish Parmesan. YUM!! (BAKED, not fried!!!). Ate at different places in Florida: Hungry Howie's - great subs but way too big!; Tia's Tex Mex; Bob Evans - oh, how I've missed them - the BEST breakfast!!; interesting experiences at restaurants/cafes inside the parks - especially paying over $30 for pizza w/fries for me and ribs for Tracy!; tried a new salsa - Salsa Verde - that I really liked at a Mexican restaurant in Buford I had never been to; tried an Italian restaurant in Augusta with my mom - yummy; and had dinner with friends at Olde Towne Tavern in Lawrenceville - nice place.
