Clam Chowder and Homemade Pizza

Its amazing how you can eat things and never know you’re allergic to them until one day it suddenly hits you…wham….

That’s what Trevor found out last weekend. On Sunday after church, we went out to eat at Sticker’s Cafe. Trevor had their clam chowder, which he said was very good. Later that night he noticed he was itching really bad and didn’t know why. When he took of his shirt, his entire chest and back was covered with a nasty looking rash. We tried for a little while, to figure out why he was broke out. After going through the list of , did you wear a new shirt? we didn’t change detergents…did you eat something different?…it took us a little bit, but then it finally hit us. The clam chowder. Apparently Trevor is allergic to clams. Didn’t know that…he’s had clams before and it didn’t bother him…he didn’t think.

Anyway…after pondering this for a while, we went to bed. Then next morning Trevor’s rash had spread pretty bad. He was defiantly having a reaction to something. He went to work, but ended up coming home early cause he was itching so bad. SO i had him take some more benadryl which helped a little. Trevor had came to the conclusion earlier that day, that he used to get an itchy rash on his hands every now and then, but never knew why…so he finally figured it was caused from the times he had clam strips for lunch. It made perfect since.

He is doing much better now, and the rash that once covered him from head to toe, has toned down a lot and is almost gone. Thank the Lord he didn’t have a worse reaction to it. Looks like he wont be having any more clams in the future.

In other news…Trevor and I have been wanting to make homemade pizza. But so far have not found a good pizza crust recipe. We’ve tried a few that are ok, but nothing that you want to make again. So anyway…i searched around and tried again tonight. The crust was deep dish, and not too bad, but nothing great. But the toppings were awesome. We’ve been getting our fresh meat from the butcher shop down the street. I love that place. We had Italian sausage tonight on the pizza and it was great!

Anyway…so anyone having a really good pizza crust recipe, please send it my way. In the meantime, the search continues….
