We are fine. It was worse to the east of us but they listen to the KC TV channels, so it always look like us.

We're having fajitas for supper. Simple, fast, easy and practically no effort involved. Which I need tonight because I'm already exhausted with a ton of work ahead of me.

 

So my SIL who has forever inhabited the actual downstairs apartment in this house got married and moved out. It has been a slow process because she's disabled and her husband works crazy hours, but finally she's more or less out with just what's left in one room that will remain a storage room for now until the stuff is dealt with. This is amazing news for me. This means that I finally get my very own kitchen!!! :D :D :D The rough part is that I've been cleaning and it's hard. Since she wasn't up and about much, I spent a little over 2 hours cleaning the fridge. I haven't opened the oven yet, but thankfully it is a self cleaning oven so I'm not worried. And... it has a dishwasher not named Addie!!! Oh yeah, I'm pretty excited. I told my husband that we'll let him have a few gluteny things and have a special protocol for him dealing with his poison. But we'll be 95% gluten free. Wooo!!! I'm thinking that I'll maybe be ready for a Tuesday move in. (That's hub's day off, and I need him for the heavy lifting. :lol:)

Spoke too soon.  We are still OK but then had a tornado about an hour south.  It was on the ground for 30 minutes!  Fortunately, its mostly farms.  Nothing much in the KC area - rain, wind, a little hail - just the usual

What tortillas do you use for the fajitas?  Or do you?

 

Isn't that what Hubs are for?  Heavy lifting?

Saturday evening I had a small dinner party. I decided I was going to make Indian food. I have only ever made 1 curry in my life. So it was a bit ambitious. My menu was: gluten free naan, chicken tikka masala, tofu tikka masala (vegetarian guest), basmati rice, and Hari's suicide potatoes (recipe from celiac.com). The naan was FABULOUS! I used the new flour blend my friend gave me again (AKulinary Innovations AP flour) and I swear every recipe I have tried it in thus far (3 now) it's been great! I don't think I remembered to take pictures of my naan. But it was so good. I will be making it again. The tikka masala recipe I got from Bon Appetit and it's a keeper too.

 

I made these banana-walnut muffins last night: http://betterbatter.org/banana-nut-muffins

Glad you survived intact!

 

I just use corn tortillas for everything I used to use flour tortillas for. I know it isn't what I "should" be doing but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying gluten-free flour tortillas that cost $1 each (or more!) and will just crack and fall apart and generally be the worst thing I ever spent money on and leave me eating with a fork. I've had bad experiences twice before Rudi's started making them, and while I've been tempted a few times to try again I just can't bring myself to pay that much for something I really don't believe can be half as good as an actual flour tortilla. So it's corn tortillas for everything here.

omg I almost forgot to share, but I was super excited about telling everyone when I was at the store getting it. So, I stopped at the store to get my chocolate mint and right next to it was a purple plant. I was like, what's that? It was purple basil, which I've never heard of before. So, I got some! It'll go nicely with my purple carrots and purple string beans and red corn. Nothing normal round here. :D I'm not sure why purple basil is special (besides being purple) because I haven't looked it up yet, but I'm pretty excited.

You want my snow? Take it! Someone must have taken it because it cleared up beautifully and will be near 50 today. I think I'll get out in the late afternoon to pot my mint if I'm feeling up to it. I started my day with the kitchen half done already but the stove hood and oven racks staring at me when I walked in this morning. Ugh! At least it's just the racks though, the oven cleans itself. :D My husband got bumped to Wed off instead of tomorrow so I guess that is gonna be my move in day for my kitchen. I'm so excited.

 

Tonight we'll have leftover fajitas. They were so good! I haven't had them in... I don't even know how long. Maybe years. I've gotta have them more often.

Some ovens say to do it with the racks out. I couldn't find instructions for this one so I played it safe. At least they'll be shiny and nice when I'm done. ^_^

Made Ski's suggestion for the crock pot balsamic pork and sweet potato fries. 

 

Not doing well the past 4 days. Serious neck pain.... :unsure: and headaches. erg long story, but through no one's fault, I was glutened at a place I have come to trust. Innocent mistake on the server's part and I forgave her. She was so upset, I felt so bad for her. Anyway, as per usual, when I get hit, my muscles take the brunt of it.

 

 

Anyway, I'll live and I am going to try chili tomorrow and hope for things to improve. 

 

it's in the 90s here and I love it.  B)

I have gotten into using white corn tortillas for everything.  I will use Rudi's only if I am making quesadillas.   Yellow corn for beef enchiladas.  The white corn has a less corn-y flavor to it.

 

So, yesterday I made steak with mini corns on the cob and broccoli/cauliflower/carrot blend.  I also made pamelas baking mix banana nut muffins (on the bag) and accidentally doubled the sugar!  eek.  They were edible still but wooooah sweet.  Also I had a coupon for 2 lbs of free strawberries so I got those and used some yogurt I had laying around and made Strawberry frozen yogurt today.  Still in the freezer but the bite I snuck before putting it in there after churning... it is going to be marvelous.  

 

Today for lunch I wanted to replicate chipotle for myself... made cilantro lime rice, and made some chicken with Stubbs green chile marinade, and black beans.  SO SO SO good.  Not an exact replica but my gosh was that good, leftovers for lunch tomorrow.  Dinner will be oven fried chicken with mashed potatoes and leftover veggies from yesterday.

Get feeling better fast! And keep enjoying that weather. :)

 

And yeah, if you're gonna be hiding from tornadoes in the basement beer definitely sounds like a good idea. Always good to have priorities straight. :lol:

 

I saw on my facebook feed today that a local store has Udi's bread on sale for $3.50 and I had a few coupons left for $1.50 off so I ran right over in my cleaning clothes to get some. I'm feeling pretty awesome. B)

Awesome heat pads and an awesome MT/PT who knows how to make muscles feel better (after she beats me up) lol

 

Pineapple, is not a veggie, You know this, young lady,  but I'll cut you some slack because the weather situ is scary. Always, always have

booze on hand for basement hiding. The only way I managed to get through the tornado that came through NY that time was the fact that the 2 cats, the dog and J and I were hiding in the room where he kept his homebrew.  ^_^

 

Going with white bean and chicken chili tonight........ In "Karen's crockpot" as I have come to call it.

 

Blessedmommy, Addy, thanks for the well-wishes. Ski, thanks for the call....cheered me right up.

yup, looks like I've live! bwahahaha

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
