Did somebody say DOUGHNUTS?!?!?!?

Happy first day of the month to you too Nikki, me lips are sealed about the maple syrup indulgence!

OK- can I share some good news?

Kurt is on "sabbatical" for a month (the month he was supposed to take off right after he had the stroke uhm....2 summers ago). No- that's not the good news as I'm sure he will drive me crazy :o:lol: as much as I love him. I completely forgot that this past weekend we had tickets to see Lyle Lovett at the Cape Cod Melody tent. Actually, I wasn't even convinced I wanted to go but I MADE myself get in the car and it was GOOD.

Lyle was fun (and actually handsome in person- I have eclectic taste but I swear)! Good, gluten-free food was had. We stayed at a place on the side of the Cape that I think Alex thinks of when she pictures it and it was fun. I had FUN! We even went to a lavender farm (i now have milk and dark lavender chocolate and a mix for lavender lemonade. I could swim! And we went to the one place down there that makes gluten-free pizza (IMHO it's even better than Risoterria's in NY).

I have been off abx and sans PICC line for 11 days. I think I'm starting to feel a bit more human. :D

Wonderful news Bev, glad you had a fun getaway to the Cape AND that you are feeling human again :D:D

Well, thank GOD, I'm feeling a mite better today, because yesterday was HELL on earth. Won't go into details, because I really want to pretend yesterday never happened. But Mom came over and took charge of the kids, which was a relief, and frankly necessary.

More good news!! I'm glad today is a little better Sarah. Bless your mom for coming to help yesterday, you really needed that :)

According to my research a beaver tail is: "Beaver Tails"

Canadian Doughnuts

" If you ever visited Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the winter months on the Rideau Canal, which is the longest skating rink in the world, they serve a sweet pastry, that is essentially a flat doughnut with sugar on top.

Kind of like American fried dough, eh?

Sounds kinda like what we call Elephant Ears.

Hmmmmm....I'm seeing a pattern here.........Beaver Tails, Elephant Ears, Kangaroo Scrotum.............put them all together and you've got........?????????? :huh::blink::lol:

:o What in hell?! What could this meeeeeen??? :huh:

Well my feet hurt. I've been cooking all day. It started with a loaf of your basic gluten-free bread... and then I realized that cooking can be very soothing. First do this, then do that, one step at a time. Can't worry about anything else until you do the first step, then the next. Plus, the measuring, chopping, mixing... is all very mindless. Exactly what I needed.

So I made bread, taco beef in the crockpot, sugar cookies, and zucchini quiche (plus two extra pie crusts for the freezer.)

I think I'm gonna cook tomorrow, too. Probably should go buy some more freezer bags/containers. :rolleyes:

Well, DS has moved home!!!! We are so excited.

A year ago, he moved back to my MIL's house in Ontario, and we have had very little contact with him since. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, he called and told us he wanted to come home. We bought him a ticket and picked him up last night. He's spent most of the day with his friends, but actually came home on time for supper for the first time...well... almost ever actually. He seems to have found some manners as well.

Part of me, I must admit, is still waiting for the other show to drop so to speak and for things to go back to the chaos filled mess they were a year ago. Is that bad?

Oh well, for now we are enjoying his company. I am glad he is home, as I missed the additional testosterone support around here.

Happy Canada Day! We are off to watch the local fire works display tonight.

Oh Ryan--how wonderful! :D I'm so happy for all of you. Enjoy being together and try not to worry and get too far ahead of yourself--although it's quite natural to do so.

YAY!!!!! Finally some bits of GOOD NEWS filtering through Sillyville! Sarah the baking machine...awesome! So glad things are a little more bearable today. :)

And Ryan! How wonderful to have your family together like this. It was meant to happen, and it will all work out..... :)

Mygawd....I suppose I should start packing.......am leaving tomorrow morning...... :o<_<:rolleyes:

Yes!!! This is most encouraging....some real good news and not me trying to inject some levity with stories of packing me arse in shorts or sumphin :lol:

OMGawd Em--you'd better git packin'! Do you realize we're actually gonna MEET in 9 DAYS????? :D

psawyer Proficient

Yes, Emily, you must get packing now.

Canada Day was a quiet affair here, rather subdued for us. Still getting used to life without Thomas, but not feeling as down as I did yesterday.

Every July 1, I wonder why Canada celebrates this day, but not Open Original Shared Link. Oh, probably because nobody would want another holiday in December. But in terms of the development of Canada as a country, Open Original Shared Link, was much more significant than July 1, 1867.

Another busy day tomorrow.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!
