How much money would you pay to eat food you're allergic to and not have a reaction?

My friend Dave asked me this question the other day (the months ago kind of other day) and I said I'd probably pay $200 per month to be able to have all the dairy I want without a terrible stomachache. I usually describe my relationship to cheese as an unrequited love. I love it, it doesn't love me back. If I were able to have all the dairy I'd want for $200 a month, I'd also have to budget about $50 a month for new pants? I would obviously want to eat as much dairy as possible in order to get $200 worth, but also dairy isn't like slimming. Pizza, ice cream, nachos, quesadillas, real butter aren't exactly at the bottom of the food pyramid (although all the carbs are, so probably just throw that example out) and those are definitely the foods that I would eat. I'd also have to budget more for groceries to cover the costs for 3 people to consume dairy products in our house, instead of just 2. Jesse was in earshot of this conversation and he was very offended at the idea. He was not offended at me paying $200 to consume dairy products, he was offended at the idea that I would ALSO be consuming dairy products in our home. He would need to scoop ice cream into a bowl, instead of directly from the carton, and that was just TOO MUCH to consider in this very hypothetic scenario. And also, pizza. We have a good system worked out with pizza.

I wouldn't pay more than $10 a month for eggs. They're okay. Not the best. I can live without them. If I were going out to breakfast, maybe I'd pay a one time charge to have an omelette or something. I've never even had an omelette because I learned about them after I learned I was allergic. They look good. I'd eat one. I'd pay some money to eat one. I would not pay for a day long stomach ache for one though. That's too much.

How much money would YOU pay?

Ornavors and Winter Air Con Mighty

We listen to the Frozen soundtrack just about every day. When we aren't listening to the Frozen soundtrack, we are listening to the Frozen TWO soundtrack (and also, occasionally the Moana one). Aaron's fav song is "Frozen Heart"- it's the intro song when all the men are cutting ice blocks. Jesse made him a pretend ax (obviously it's pretend) out of two small pieces of wood so that he (Aaron) (also obviously) can pretend to chop stuff to the beat of the song, just like those "cutting guys."

He also has no idea what some of the words of the song are.

I'll pair his version next to the actual version, because it makes me so happy:

Aaron's           

Ornavors and Winter Air Con Mighty

Actual

Born of cold and winter air

And mountain rain combining

Aaron's

This icy force bof foul and fair

frozen heart co-mighty

Actual

This icy force both foul and fair

Has a frozen heart worth mining

skipping a bit....

Aaron's

Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Ho! (DO NOT TELL HIM THIS WORD IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE COLD. IT IS NOT. IT IS HO. HE IS SURE.)

Actual

Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Cold! 

Aaron's

Ice has a magic, (mumbling) controlled

Stronger than Sven.

Stronger than a hundred men! Cut!

Actual

Ice has a magic, can't be controlled

Stronger than one, stronger than ten

Stronger than a hundred men! Ho!

It's really not that far off, but the Sven part kills me. And also, ornavors. I tried to correct him on the con- mighty parts but he just said he didn't know what mining was, so he'll just say mighty instead. Fair enough, kid.

well, hey.

I thought I wasn't going to do this blog again and I also thought I wasn't going to do this blog last year or the year before. I keep thinking of random things that I could write about and I figure that's a sign. It's a sign that I should do this blog or a sign that I have a lot of random thoughts in my head. Either way, this Lenten blog makes me watch less tv and mindlessly scroll the internet a lot less, which are always goals for me. I also like the creativity and that some people read this, so I have to practice being vulnerable, and that's good (I still have no intentions to improve my grammar).
