Hugs for the potential hay fever. I think this year is worse than last year. Not causing me the coughing and wheezing issues but playing havoc with my joint problems. Like you not something I have suffered with before and no problem last year. Take care.
Mine is gout. which is usually triggered by an illness or over training and not enough hydration. The last 2/3 weeks have been a problem but manageable with good food choices, naproxen and gallons of fluid. On Monday all seemed well - big mistake. Coffee is best avoided at these times for me as are many lchf friendly foods. The coffee on Monday plus turkey and steak of the last 2 days have resulted in major problems - huge swollen right knee like a major sporting injury.Interesting you mention joint problems. I didn't know that hay fever could affect joints. My knees, back, neck and finger joints (which are normally painful but just about bearable) have been badly playing up since this 'cold' started - I just put it down to being under the weather but, thinking about it, it might have started before.
Is your joint pain arthritis? TBH I think mine is payback for years of (year round) motorbike riding and weight training.
I have not drunk beer for years and have had no alcohol since Boxing Day. Normally very wary around alcohol since end of cricket and rugby days. First time I was diagnosed was in mid 20s during a period of intense training. Oddly enough weight then around what it is now.Ouch! My ex BIL and ex FIL both had gout and both were, at times, almost completely disabled with it. Both, luckily, worked for a government department and had a good amount of time as sick entitlement allowance. They were both sporty and I always wondered if that had anything to do with it. I think their fondness for 'real ale' definitely had something to do with it.
Gennepher, we old bats are hard to keep down! Welcome to the OSAHDWEGH Club. That’s the Over Seventies And How Did We Ever Get Here Club.
Mine is raw.I have a question to those of you who use frozen cauliflower and/or broccoli ‘rice.’
I thought it would be easier if I make some for the freezer. Has the rice been cooked- tossed in butter or blanched before freezing? I was wondering which would be best. Before I grate up a whole cauliflower and head of broccoli.
I just put it in raw - works fine so farI have a question to those of you who use frozen cauliflower and/or broccoli ‘rice.’

Correct! I never cook it first or it wouldn't hold it's shape.Thanks maglil55. So if I just grate it all up, it will be ok to freeze portions for cooking later.

I stir fry it from raw. I don't boil or steam. Treat it the sane as fried rice. I put chopped spring onion in it, peas and a beaten egg sometimes after I've added Tamari soy to it.How do make sure the cauliflower rice isn't soggy? It always seems to be too wet for my liking. I did see a TV cheffy programme which suggested wringing the rice out in a tea towel, but my hands aren't strong enough for that. What does everyone else do?
@zauberflote - welcome back again and why are you disappearing again on Monday? .
