A couple of weeks ago I had some visitors and we went to Homer and took the ferry to Halibut Cove. We had lunch at the Saltry and walked around (as much as you can, especially with a boot). It was the most gorgeous of days too, which doesn't usually happen in Alaska. There are usually a few gorgeous days followed by many rainy/overcast days. It is definitely not proportional. Here are some pics (most taken by my Aunt Karen). Since getting back to Kenai I have been experimenting in the kitchen. I had some blood work done back in June and got the results back in July when I was back for good. Nothing was bad in the results, but I was told to cut out all dairy, including eggs. So I have been trying to cook a few dishes. Before the blood work I was told to try eating grain free as much as possible. I have had headaches for years but they seems to just be getting more obnoxious. I was told that grains are very inflammatory and this diet change could help.
So I have been loosely following the grain free diet, as it hasn't really seemed to make a difference. I have been trying to stick to gluten free and probably will try to go grain free at some point. I just keep buying stuff that I think is good but it isn't. Dairy free has definitely lessened the headaches, and is a little easier to spot. Grains are just sneaky. Packages are marked gluten free so that is easier. I would've never guessed that diet changes would help so much. Boy was I wrong. The more I read on the Paleo/Keto diets the more intrigued I am. I will try to give another update as I explore these more.
Next up is the start of school. Teachers start back tomorrow. I will try to get some pics up of my classroom when I get a chance.
