    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Someone else here sent me to this site back when I bought my crock pot. It rocks: Open Original Shared Link The woman that writes it is gluten-free, and so are all her recipes. I have yet to have something I made off there that wasn't really delicious.

    Woo! We leave tomorrow morning. I have a reservation for Merrimans tomorrow night, and we're both very excited about hanging out on the Big Island. Its going to be so nice to be home. Talk to you soon Ken!

    I've always found it to be a bit chewy inside, but I only use it for things that are really thin, like pigs in a blanket. Like the other poster said, getting the consistency right with the liquid is essential. I order it by the case as well, and you can also get it by the case from Amazon. I was thinking about using the sweeter one to make a mock-baklava...

    We are on the Big Island the 24th-4th but in Kona the 1st-4th. My cousin lives in Kona too, she is the manager at the pizza hut, which I doubt you ever go to My grandparents live in Ocean View. When we are in Waimea my (soon to be husband- 2days!!!) is going to be working and we're going to be staying at the Keck Visiting Scientist Quarters, but I really...

    We're staying at the Royal Kona resort for our honeymoon at the end of this month. We're also going to be up in Waimea for a couple days. When we're at my mom's house in Volcano I know we're good, but the other places are more unknown. SO awesome to have an advocate in Kona. Do you know what the lead time for Merrimans is?

    Fisherman's Wharf specifically no, but I have had good luck at Dave's Crab Shack. I am sure the nicer restaurants there should have no problem, generally people are very aware of gluten here. Amici's Pizza on Lombard has a gluten-free menu, and the Pizza is really good. Open Original Shared Link Be aware the other Amici's Sf locations do not have the gluten...

    You'll find this is actually pretty common. Most airlines will only do special meals for international flight, I have yet to find a domestic flight that I have taken with a special meal option.

    I found the yellow cake and the cookie. I made the yellow cake and marbled some of it using cocoa. I have to say, i have yet to find a white/yellow cake mix that isn't dry and weird and this was really really good. I'll be using it for the wedding cake in a few weeks. (The bottom is going to be a flat cake of yellow/marble and the top is going to be a chocolate...

    I'm in the East Bay. There is a yahoo group, and a yahoo dinner group that meets up occasionally. The yahoo group is Open Original Shared Link and the dinner group is Open Original Shared Link. I am pretty sure there is an active ROCK group in the San Jose/Los Gatos area. These guys: Open Original Shared Link just had a gluten-free potluck in Sunnyvale...

    Black olives, carrots and cream cheese. They were awesome. Many people did not believe the stuff was gluten-free. I ended up using the french bread rounds for the spinach dip as the topping for the brushetta was kinda weird. People really liked the Chebe sausage rolls. All in all the event was a huge success!

    We're throwing our engagement/housewarming/why the heck not party tomorrow, and I've been cooking all day. On the menu: Apple-Goat cheese brushetta - Recipe from Allrecipes, made the bread with Gluten Free Pantry French Bread mix using my french bread pan. Pigs in Blankets- Lil' Smokies and Chebe Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts- Recipe from Allrecipes...

    I don't allow gluten in my house, with the exception of beer for parties. I also have the rule that if you bring beer and have leftovers, you leave with it, as no one in the house can drink it. My guests love that rule, actually I make the majority of the food, and if people want to bring things, they can either bring drinks, or contact me in advance about...

    Celiac disease is not an allergy, so doesn't require an EpiPen. I have allergies to pollen and dust among other things, and am getting allergy shots to try to lessen the severity of my reactions, so have to carry an EpiPen. You get a new one every year because the solution expires. You're not supposed to expose them to heat or light, but since we have to...

    Open Original Shared Link The issues with a lot of their stuff is not wheat, but oats. I for one don't eat anything with mainstream oats, because I am very sensitive to CC, and mainstream oats make me sick. The Tostada shell does not contain Oat products like the other shells do. The only thing I ever eat there, and its only a stop I make if there...

    My fiance, who doesn't cook at all, is now making his own gluten-free bread. We really like Pamelas for a slightly darker bread, and the gluten free pantry for a white bread. They are both really easy to make. We eat some of it fresh, and slice and freeze the rest. Even though we are freezing it to keep it fresh, it still tastes better than store-bought any...

    I'm really not surprised. I'm not really "normal" unless I take a probiotics every day. I think this probably has something to do with the fact that a gluten-free diet really doesn't have much in the way of prebiotics going on.

    Soup! Soup is an awesome way to get warm filling food and keep the calories down. Its my winter go-to lunch food.

    The Stinking Rose, Lawry's and pretty much any of the higher-end places on restuarant row on Wilshire Blvd are very accomadating, if a bit pricy. Beware a few of the Vegetarian places in LA like Greenleaves, they continue to advertise their Kamut products as gluten free. There is a PF Changs in the Beverly Center. Houston's and Gulfstream in the Westfield...

    We have been testing mixes for our wedding cake, and we're down to a tie between Gluten Free Pantry and Pamela's. They are both very good, the Pamela's is a bit denser than the Gluten Free Pantry but is also more intense on the chocolate. Both of them would work very well.

    I love the Gluten Free Pantry pie crust mix, I don't find it crumbly at all. There are a few things I do that might help with that. I used ice water instead of cold water, I make it pretty darn moist at first, and I always refrigerate it for two hours before using. I also always cover the crust with a shield when baking, the one time I did not do that the...

    I use Pamela's cookies for crumb crusts and I never add sugar. I always melt the butter in another bowl and slowly drizzle it in bit by bit while mixing to get the desired consistency so I don't get too much in there. You want it just slightly damp so you can mush it together. When I bake the crust I only do it for a few minutes to brown it, then I put in...

    I buy latex free items. Polyurethane and Polyisoprene are the two main contenders there. They don't make as many of them and they are harder to find, but they are definitely out there, and well worth it. Durex, Lifestyles and Trojan all make an option.

    In addition to the things mentioned, some mexican places use soy sauce in their fajitas, etc. So there's a hidden source of gluten that may not have been considered. Corn tortillas made in house are sometimes prepared on a floured surface to keep them from sticking. Eating out is always a gamble, and even though its a pain in the butt, it is important to...

    I'd say the SF Bay area and New York are the two places I've had the easiest time being gluten free.
