So a while ago Addy posted about making cheese bread without buying a mix, using

the recipe from the following link

Well, it's awesome. Piece of advice? Don't accidentally double the amount of oil called

for in the recipe......

Glad you liked them! I tried them tonight with a little butter added and they didn't rise as well but the flavor was awesome with the garlic and basil. Great replacement for garlic bread.

We had fish, fries, hush puppies and slaw. OH MY GOSH was it good, I was in HEAVEN! We ordered the hush puppy mix from from a Grist mill from back home and it makes the BEST hush puppies we've ever had! I just recently realized we could order it online. We did add finely chop onion to the batter. HAVE MERCY. They were VERY light and fluffy and naturally gluten free because they don't process any wheat in there! We also ordered grits, cornbread mix and rice. It is the best we've ever had. I would share a photo but it won't let me post it unless I have an URL.

we are having exactly that tonight, except no hushpuppies  but i have sweet onions to make onion rings

 

i got glutened by a cupcake for my birthday - haven't got the heart to tell my daughter that the award-winning gluten-free cupcake must have only won because it must have been judged on 'flavor' and not for being celiac friendly    annnnnnd i spent 3 days blaming everything else i ate/stress/blah blah blah on what is UNMISTAKABLY gluten - nothing wipes me out like that - after 2 plus years, i still second guess.......  a harsh reminder!  so, went into "safe mode" and finally got 'reset'  

 

hey - everybody is eating strawberries!  so, they are ok??  i thought they packed them in wheat straw ?/  is there a way to tell ugh i sure miss my strawberries

You can eat strawberries. I saw them growing in California. They don't use straw. They use plastic. Even if they used straw it probably wouldn't be from wheat as they would have to haul it in from a long distance if it were wheat. Not very cost effective.

Dinner tonight was pork chops, carrots boiled in chicken broth, baked beans, rice & gravy. Yum! Everyone ate the gluten-free gravy with no complaints! Love having my whole family gluten-free so my daughter doesn't have to worry about what to eat at home. She gets enough to worry about everywhere else!

Chicken soup tonight. Something got me Saturday night and I was waiting hoping that I had random D that night but I knew. Deep down I knew. Yesterday it hit me suddenly like a ton of bricks. Taking it easy on my tummy with loads of ginger ale and bitters and chicken soup. Tomorrow if I feel like something a little fancier and feel like cooking again I'll make my favorite ever soup, creamy carrot soup. If not I'll have that on Thursday. Mostly I'll be sleeping and laying for the next week. If I get super ambitious and hungry at the same time, iodine be damned, I'm having mac & cheese which is my ultimate comfort food. I can feel the rash prickling, it hasn't blistered yet but I'll start my steroids in the morning at least so hopefully it won't be so bad this time.

   Oh no Addy! What happened?

[Adalaide]

I don't know!!!! I had ham and scrambled eggs for supper Sat night, and all was fine. Then later we had some cake and blueberry sauce. The blueberries were in the freezer from last summer or fall or something. I don't know if I handled them poorly then, or did something when I made the sauce, or did something when I was getting the cake. But then I got my signature D and was like, bah... it's just from the eggs. I knew I was lying to myself, but it felt so good to lie for the rest of the night and all day Sunday. All I know is I did something, somehow, to handle my food poorly. Now I'm sleeping propped up on my Patrick Fitzgerald (a 4 foot pillow pet giraffe) so I don't get overwhelmed with the urge to vomit from laying down. I get the feeling that Patrick and I will be quite good friends by the end of the week. I just hope I don't vomit on him.

 

At least this time I'm handling it better, emotionally speaking. Sort of a stuff happens attitude. Really, what is the point in freaking out? Or blaming someone, even if I'm just blaming me? I'll just stress myself out and make it take longer to feel better. I know this is a month and a half long road to feeling like a person again, I won't let it get me down. Well... besides into bed.

 

ETA: I recently pointed out to someone that it had been something like 5 or 6 months since I had done anything stupid and contaminated myself even though I live in a shared household. I'm pretty sure this is karma related to being cocky.

Sorry Addie - me too today

Have no idea what happened other than cleaning my folks house - I always wash well after spending time there and never eat over there, but here I sit with obvious gluten symptoms.

Nettle tea, lots of water and a bowl of spag squah is it for tonight - crappy end to a day that started of great!

Hope everyone is much improved tomorrow.

Charcoal worked good on me last time! Good luck buds! 

[love2travel]

Oh, Addy and Gottaski!  I feel for you poor girls.     How very discouraging.  But Addy, you are right.  What is done is done.  There is no point in placing blame on yourself.  Do you not find that celiac can be character building in ways?  I have learned a lot and cope/face challenges better than I did a few years ago.  I feel wiser.  Part of it may be because I am now technically middle aged.  Did I just say that out loud? 

 

Be gentle on yourselves and do what you have to do to feel well.  Tomorrow is a new day full of promise and hope.

For me getting glutened is now more a humbling experience than past glutenings - I used to get more upset at myself and angry at gluten - yesterday when it happened I went home threw on jammies and accepted it was going to be a rotten night.

My family has jokingly called gluten kryptonite for years - now that I am relatively healthful - I must say it is exactly like it. I went running without pain yesterday and was full of energy until that pesky prrotein knocked me out. Even hubby said don't worry - we know what this is and it will pass - just a minor setback. Boy have we all changed over the past four years!

Good news is my symptoms are much better this morning - still bloate but the fog has lifted and joints while still sore are functioning enough for me to get up - going to drink another cup of tea while soaking in an epsom salt bath and buy charcoal when the store opens - prob won't help for this round but going to keep in my bag o tricks - thanks Bunny!

[IrishHeart]

Addy, Sorry honey. (and you just told me to never ever say things like this cuz karma bites us on the butt.) Hope you feel better soon.xx

 

Ski, I'm speechless. Must have been something at M and D's--cuz no one is more careful than you are. Feel better soon. xx

 

Hugs all around, but from a distance so as to be sure you do not get my flu cooties.(yeah, it's the flu. I tried to call what we have "a bad cold", but who are we kidding?)  The hubs and I figure someone at the gym must have spread the joy to us. Why do people insist on going out when they are sick? Stay home!!! All I can say is do NOT get this, people. ugh and blech.

 

 

Dinner tonight--probably choke down more chicken soup........gonna start squawking soon........

[notme!]

goodness, we are a sickly bunch this week  love2 i think you're right although 'wisdom' doesn't usually scarf down a cupcake from a questionable source!  i'm still rebounding (o gosh, my guts HURT - hard to imagine before diagnosis i was *used* to feeling this miserable)  probably make the hubs eat leftovers - err - encores.  maybe i'll have some clam chowda later if my samwich is nice to me...

 

everybody:  feel better soon!  i'll be holding down the couch if ya need me.  :/
