My husband has a nightshade allergy.

· Bits and Bobs 10/6/25
  • My husband has a nightshade allergy.
    • It's not commonly known, but probably more people have it than they think.
    • Nightshades are in everything.
      • Eggplant
      • Peppers
      • Tomatoes
      • Potatoes
      • Fun fact: if you buy pre-shredded cheese it likely has potato in it.
        • "Modified Food Starch" is often potato.
    • Because it's not a well-known allergy, it's hard to explain to people.
      • Sometimes we'll go to a friend's for dinner and they'll say "I remembered you couldn't eat tomatoes, so I made gnocchi!"
    • Even if you knew he had that allergy, it would be easy to forget.
    • Imagine if you had a system that when you put a recipe with nightshades on your shopping list, and had an upcoming dinner date with my husband, it warned you "Remember, Daniel can't eat that dish."
    • LLMs have infinite patience.
    • The right structure could help them help us in way more parts of our life.
