Food Glorious Food

First, a clarification: We are sorry for the confusion, but our last post referenced The Godfather picking up a pregnant Mrs. Z from the floor last Christmas Eve, when Monkey was still gestating. So no new animals are on their way to the zoo at this time.

Secondly, an update: After spending a few hours this afternoon going over the allergy diet with our friend, alto section leader and dietitian K, it appears that despite all the special foods and starvation Mrs. Z hadn't been successful in eliminating all the corn from her diet. After talking it over and taking a good hard look at how things have been around here the past week, we decided that we are going to try the opposite approach to allergen elimination, where we eliminate one thing from the diet at a time. So after we made that decision, we all headed to Noble Romans and ate the most wonderful heavenly delicious amazing pizza ever created. Seriously. It was mind-blowing. We are going to take the weekend to eat normally and get some calories and energy back, and start with eliminating an allergen on Monday. We realize that this might result in less sleep, but we've found that we weren't sleeping all that well in the last two weeks anyway, and it's much easier to deal with when you can wake up and eat some FOOD.

Happy weekend to everyone!

Oh, sweet merciful gods. I am elated (first time I ever used that word, non-ironically) to hear this plan. Like, I let out a sigh of relief for you -- I can only imagine how YOU feel! :)

Good luck with the new approach!
