Cinnawhat?

[nozenfordaddy]

I'm allergic to cinnamon. If I eat it it makes me wheeze, makes my lips and tongue all... tender and slightly swollen and hoo boy the mucus.

Usually I don't eat it. Or, I make sure that the 'cinnamon' in whatever I am eating isn't really cinnamon - most domestic cinnamon in the US is actually cassia, so this is easy. Cassia, tastes like cinnamon so...

I love cinnamon. And occasionally am seduced by gooey or interesting cinnamony things. Cinnabon at the airport. Trader Joe's cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon chocolate covered Altoids.

Today, it was these things that looked like pizza bites only were cinnabites, dipped in icing and microwaved (I added that part), plus they were on sale in bakery.

They were really good...

So now my lips and tongue have that slightly swollen sort of sunburnt feeling, and I need benedryl - and maybe my inhaler.

But.. totally worth it.

I would have made the sacrifice myself, were I allergic.

Except I love cherries, so in cherry season, it's dangerous.

Way to cause yourself pain.

But yes, gooey cinnamon things are worth it. WORTH UTTER PAIN!
