Filippo Berio Olive Oil


Influenster sent me coupons to try these Filippo Berio olive oils a few months ago. I cook a lot using olive oil but I'd never tried these particular items before. I used these both for cooking and mixed with herbs for a dipping sauce for bread. While the Delicato was fantastic I wasn't a fan of the Robusto. It was far too strongly flavored to use as in dipping sauce but it was okay with stronger flavors like tomato sauce and garlic. I don't know that I would ever purchase these simply because the price point is too high for anything but a finishing oil and I'm not particularly interested in using it that way.

Disclosure: I received these products complimentary from influenster for testing purposes.

I don't take gym selfies...

I did it. I took my ass down stairs and did my treadmill time. I sometimes crashed afterward, but I did it. I bought new sports bras. I run to get my heart rate up then walk for a while, alternating as needed. I couldn't run with my old shitty sports bras. I bought the sports bras. Then there was a holiday weekend and a funeral and I didn't walk. And now I have hard spots in one arm pit and my stomach is raging. I did 20 minutes this morning. It was slow, I had to take a break, but it was 20 minutes. Now my stomach hurts and it's not getting better. But I did it. And I will try again tomorrow.

There was an incident...

Yesterday was shot day. Three pens, as expected, no big deal. Except one of my pens misfired. The needle didn't even touch the skin. I pressed down, counted to ten, pulled it away, and the Humira started spraying. I put my hand over the end to catch to fluid so that it didn't spray all over the carpet. According to the Humira rep with AbbVie this is a normal mechanical failure. I explained the incident, gave them some info from the package, and as soon as they confirm with my doctor a new pen will be on the way. I have extras in the fridge, so no lapse in dosing. Still, injecting is anxiety inducing enough without equipment failure. The other problem: I noticed two lumps in my right arm pit on Thursday morning. Around 9 AM it was the size of a ping pong ball. I sat in Sus' house all day while she cleaned, unable to help her because the building pain was just too much and movement would only make it worse. By dinner time it was roughly the size of a tennis ball, and more...
