Health is Wealth - FBB gets no Humpty Dumpty

If you want to see more by the artist who painted this picture, click here.

FBB = Fattie Boom Boom. See explanation post here.

If you assumed Humpty Dumpty had something to do with humping, I am sorry to disappoint you. This is all about eggs.

When I was kid, my nursery rhyme book portrayed Humpy Dumpty as a big egg that fell off the wall and cracked.

Anyway, Softly Concerned, my Nutritionist, suggested I have an allergy test. So I went to see my doctor and allowed her phlebotomist to poke me with a sharp thing and suck my very life blood out of me while I scunched my eyes closed and tried to visualize a tropical beach, and I duly posted it off to some lab or other.

Softly Concerned emailed me with the results.

I am "highly reactive" to eggs.

SHIT!

I love eggs.

I love boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs.

  • Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon

  • Fried eggs and bacon

  • Poached eggs on cooked spinach

  • Soft boiled eggs with bits of toast to dip into them

  • Hard boiled eggs with mayonnaise

  • Egg salad sandwiches

  • Boiled eggs in Salad Nicoise

  • Quiche...

I haven't spoken to Softly Concerned about what this means yet.

Will I have to give them up completely? Will I have to give up anything even containing eggs? Cupcakes? Pancakes? Chocolate cake?

Will I have to embrace Vegan cafes, previously the brunt of my scornful wit?

It's really too frightening to even think about.
