The other thing is the pasta is wheat which you should probably wait a few more months to introduce as it's one of the main allergy culprits. But you can get rice and corn pasta that are both pretty good. I can't wait until I can just give Autie what I'm eating - was just thinking it today when I had curried sausages. You can add herbs and spices though as long as you're careful and watch for reactions, and probably chilli isn't a great idea. I didn't dream of mushies btw, but I've been thinking about them all day...mushie soup, mushie stir fry, mushi casserole, fried mushies, stuffed mushies, sauteed exotic mushies with butter and garlic...mmmm.LOL

Oh Jem you are so making me get the guilts with your exercise I keep telling myself I will do that, or at least my yoga one. But I never do. Did you taste the Rafferty's yourself? Sooooo different from the other brands.

LOL Raels. She doesn't screw her face up, she does a cute little shudder. but it won't happen with mushies for sure! Good news about your DH's quitting and your playgroup. I'm thinking of going to one at our community centre tomorrow.

Em, your poor parents and the little car thief! Sounds like he needs to live on a property where they all drive before they can walk LOL

I was telling my DH about Jess and Ethan and he just kept saying 'you're kidding?!" then told me to ring up tomorrow and get the house sprayed (we have redbacks outside and have been slack in doing anything about it) I've always been against it because I think even spiders have their place and I don't like killing the lizards and geckos but now I have Autie, all those reasons just fly right out the window. I did some research today and it said no-one in Australia has died of redback bite since the anti-venom was made in the 70's or 80's so that's a positive for little Ethan. Hope they are all doing well and we hear soon.
