AT home, I keep an entire shelf full of rice. really. I have a 20 pound bag of white rice, I have 6 different kinds of noodles made from rice, plain rice cakes, and puffed rice. I also have a mean stash of potatoes. I mash them, fry them, shred them, grill them, bake them...you name it. When we're at home, it almost feels like the kid who can only eat 2 foods, has quite a few things to choose from.
I've thrown out all the milk. Yogurt is gone. No more cheese, or ice cream. Of course, these have never been foods that Gabriel can eat, but suddenly, he can't tolerate being around them. There are no worries at home, though. Gabriel has a fridge full or formula, a cabinet full of rice, and cupboard full of potatoes. There are no food that threaten his life in our home, and just in case, there is an entire cabinet full of medicine right next to the food.
this is why I cant look you in the eye at the grocery store
