Addy, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, sweets! xx
K, my portable kitchen was devised by reading your suggestions last year and adding the Koolatron.
Plus, I also found a cool collapsible colander. Less awkward to transport.

So cool what they make now.
Mindwarp! 20 lbs.--that's awesome, buddy. I'm over-the-moon for you. xx
Okay guys, we drove for 8 hours and we're in VA now. There is a Bonefish Grill across the street and this place GETS IT.
We were going to just heat up the stuffed peppers we brought, but it seemed wrong not to take advantage of this safe gluten-free dining opportunity.
I had:
Chilean sea bass with mango salsa
herbed rice
roasted asparagus
and then, I had the nerve to have some
creme brulee.

I'll probably sleep like a log.
Ski, all's well so far. Just a tad "ouchy" from the long car ride, but they have a hot tub in the hotel and I'm going to get in it right now. ![]()

I wouldn't have resisted creme brulee myself. It is a vacation after all.
Today was supposed to be my last day babysitting, as the little guy was starting at a daycare to get some social skills. He spent the day home instead. I have burnt myself out getting his stuff all packed up for his mom to pick up so instead of pizza leftover for lunch tomorrow, we're just having them tonight. If I get super ambitious, I'll reheat them in the oven instead of the microwave.
This is my last sleeping in weekend. Starting next Saturday I'm starting this food co-op thing that requires me to pick up my fruit/veggies at seven-o-freaking-clock in the morning. On a Saturday. It is practically criminal! And if I want to be a semi-decent human being and volunteer.... I have to show up an entire hour earlier. Who thinks up these times?!?! I just keep telling myself I'll save buttloads of money and I have nothing better to do. (except sleep)
So yes, bring on the weekend!
Gluten free January 2012.
Tyramine free June 2012 - slowly getting a few foods back at a time.... scratch that
Low Histamine April 2013 - I swear this better be the last time I have to restrict my diet because giving up chocolate is the final straw
Iodine free briefly fall 2012

Zipity Do Da!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I consumed my first legume in 18 months - thus far (3 hours post consumption and I am fine) -- Shroomie you got your ears on?
I soaked and rinsed red lentils within an inch of their life for 48 hours -- added bone broth, garlic, ginger and onion for 45 mins -- then added good helping of salt, pepper and cilantro.
Dinner included some other stuff -- oh ya steak and asparagus....but, but, but I ate a lentil.....can you feel the happy dance - and this is with only one glass of Zin --- going to pour another and keep dancing ![]()

I had bean with bacon soup. Made a big pot of it on Monday but starting to get a tad sick of it by now. Still have another serving. Too bad daughter doesn't like it.

I think I just heard a squeal of delight over here in my hotel in Georgia. Was it the sound of victory over 'da lentils? ![]()
I had white beans in a white chili last night that we brought with us, so I see your lentil and raise you a white bean.
Lisa, this is how we reclaim our lives--one stinkin legume at a time!
So excited for you, sweets ---- and I just danced around the lobby.
J sends a Whoohoo to you too! xx

Last night we had - Dali chicken, Pepper steak, Schezuan Beef, fried rice, & egg drop soup. It was M's 17th Birthday and we went to Pf Changs! They even brought him a little gluten-free flourless choclate cake with a candle.
Not sure what we are eating tonight. Too much snow left to grill outside. ![]()
You ladies with the beans - Take it easy there! Hate to see you overindulge! You got a designated driver? ![]()

I had roast chicken, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, mangetout and ...my 1st white potato this year! That was 2 hours ago, so we''ll see if I am a zombie tomorrow. It was baked and crispy and soft and fluffy.

We're having pizza for our anniversary tonight. Nothing fancy or anything, we're just too much in love with pizza.
He'll order out and I'll make my own. Well, sort of. I still have 2 Venice crusts in the freezer. Five years and I'm still madly in love and he's still hilarious. Don't tell him though, I keep the eyerolls coming to keep him on his toes with the jokes.
happy anniversary!! ![]()
