Well, today I go for a bone density test to check for osteopenia or osteoperosis. The dr just wants to see if there are any problems considering my age and not knowing how long I may have had celiac disease. Yesterday I made some gluten-free brownies using Bob's Red Mill brownie mix. They are actually VERY GOOD!!! Moist, and taste like real brownies! Added some walnuts... YUM!!! Much better than the one's that I got from the bakery. Those were sooooo DRY! Of course, I have my favorite restaurant, Crazy Burger in Narragansett, R.I. that I am hoping will be able to accommodate my celiac disease. They are a 'natural food' type cafe' and very health conscious so I am hoping. I sent them an e-mail today explaining my plight and wait for their response. My favorite meal there has been the 'Crazy Gorganzola Burger' which is just awesome, but they use a sourdough roll, and of course, my favorite desert is 'fried ice cream' which is drizzled with a chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Coated with granola or corn flakes (I'm not sure which) but most likely NOT gluten free. So I asked if it is possible to use gluten-free corn flakes to make the fried ice cream....and of course....fresh oil so as to not cross contaminate. I do have a recipie for fried ice cream so I think I may just have to try it on my own! It's just vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, sugar, egg, deep fried in 'FRESH' oil....then drizzled with melted chocolate or honey and topped with a little whipped cream.... sounds yummy huh??!!! Ok, I guess I'll have to get things done now before I have to leave.
