Day 155 of the Cut

My day was so slow! I stayed up like an owl last night and the result was waking up at 9AM. Dragged myself to the gym did the bare minimum. Trained Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Lunch was sauteéd Dried Fish and Shrimp, Ridge gourd, Dal and Rice.

I am not a big fan of dry fish because it has a strong smell but when I cleaned it my kitchen sink smelled like the ocean and somehow it was refreshing lol. I also purchased dried shrimp the tiny ones are cheap and taste good too. A little bit of variety in diet is needed.

I was a little skeptical about getting shrimp but my mom loves it so I got it for her. I was a little stumped when I learned that my shrimp allergy has suddenly gone after five years. I wonder how? Initially I thought it was because of the covid vaccine but then I learned that it doesn’t work like that. I honestly don’t know how it started.

I used to eat shrimp before and loved it but then suddenly one day I started getting hives and my throat started itching I was a bit disappointed because I couldn’t eat shrimp again. Maybe weight loss has helped me in that regard. I can’t explain it. My mom says its all mental and I’m crazy. But she did see the hives! I don’t know what to say. I’m not going to a doctor for this though. I haven’t had fresh shrimp in a long time and I miss it. Might get them now to confirm if my allergy is really gone. My allergy wasn’t severe to begin with so I don’t mind risking it.

It was mostly a slow day with nothing to do so work ended early. Went for a walk in the evening. Day 155 was a success!

      Oh there dried bombil which is Bombay Duck very tasty when fried, and there is dry shrimp, soaked and made Desi style. I’m contemplating making it Indo-Chinese style just to see how it would taste I think it will taste very good.

        I love Bombay ducks, both the dried and fresh. Those dried shrimps are yummilicious. I had a friend who’s mum made that so well…now I’m salivating, lol

        How did the Indo-Chinese style come out?

        1. Ajinkya Rane Avatar

          I tried it with just the chicken 65 sauce and I highly recommend doing it with dry shrimp. For the bombay ducks I recommend frying in a batter like chicken 65 first and then stir frying it chinese style. Both came out good I am still refining the recipe but that is the base.

            For fresh Bombay ducks we use rava/suji. How do you use the chicken 65 sauce?

            1. Ajinkya Rane Avatar

              I made the batter with potato flour and fried it. Then made a sauce with green chili, garlic ginger,onion, bell peppers, chili sauce, rice vinegar and soy sauce. I might tey a different flour next time. We also make bombil with rawa traditionally but I wanted to try a new recipe.

    allergies can come and go over time depending on your exposure to the triggers, environmental changes, and also changes in your immune system. peoples bodies don’t always remain the same from birth to death and allergies are not static.

      I was afraid it was permanent. Thanks for the info! I’m so happy to eat shrimps again hehe

    Day 155 and still going strong! Consistency matters more than having a perfect day. The honest mix of workouts, food, family, and everyday reflections makes this journey genuinely relatable. Keep going!

    Allergies come and go, changing together with your immune system, so try to see what works, but be careful not to get a major allergic reaction!
