What's in a Number? For Tres, Three Was His Charm
On March 3, 2021, I took this photo of Tres meeting for the first time, my client of over a year who had, from our interview meeting in late 2019, included O'Rio Grande in things.

I've been spending a bit of time talking and communicating with people who I know in my own community or who are part of the Lumigrate team getting things done which you'll see or hear on the website in the near future.

I'm establishing two areas about food allergies for now, this one and "Food Allergy Cooking - Recipes" (so please deposit recipes in THAT area). This is intended as a place for those of us who have found our way to learning about food allergies to talk about it. How did we figure it out? How do we deal with it?
