Not like you'd think given the strong taste of duck meat, and the more smooth
taste of chicken.  When I hard boil them and grab a chunk, I can't tell..
neither can I tell when I make scrambled or sunny-side up eggs (g).

I can understand that one.  :(  When my daughter was so small, maybe 18 mos.
old, I could see that at least then all she could eat was cooked apples, not
raw.  Later anything apple got to her according to the gov't allergy tests she
had (she was going to go to West Point).  So now she just plain avoids them.

>At least pears and grapes are ok,

hehe yes, non-obtrusive.. grapes are great that way, aren't they?  Can you eat
cherries and blackberries?  I had a funny thing this week.. I was talking to my
younger brother after my aunt died.. he lives in Vancouver,BC,  so I don't get
to see him really often.  Anyway, somehow we got on the subject of foods that
bothered him, and I had to remind him that he was allergic to peaches (g).  He
said he didn't remember that at all but it made sense since he avoids them at
all cost (G).  I guess that's a subconcious protection-mechanism (g).

Yeah.. so much is crazy in this world these days.. Ron ordered a book easily
over 10 days ago.. it's not trackable because it was through one of Amazon's
merchants.  It should have been here days ago..

I'm sure it will help make a difference for her, again thank you :)

Btw, did you get my netmail message?  I just wanted to say I hope Richard is
doing well now that he's got the new meds.

Take care,
Janis
