205th New Thing - Ate Low Country Boil

I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Sat 5/12/12).

Our friend's birthday was on Friday so his parents were in town from Georgia. They wanted to cook a delicious birthday meal so they made Low Country Boil. This is a traditional Southern recipe that stems from the southern regions of South Carolina and Georgia. From what I read in an Atlanta blog, it sounds like it is a spring/summer meal when you go to the beach or lake. The recipe is easy and can be adapted to feed as many people as are in attendance. It can be cooked outside on a gas burner for party settings or cooked inside on the stovetop. This particular recipe was made with smoked sausage, shrimp, corn on the cob, onions, and red potatoes, all boiled in crab boil seasoning for about 20 minutes. Then you drain the water and dump the ingredients on a table covered with newspaper. I would like to try to make this myself one time. I think I would add crab legs and Old Bay Seasoning. The best part about this Low-Country Boil (other than taste) is the cleanup factor. One pot to use, one pot to clean.

What did you do today?

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u
