Been having lots of really strange dreams lately...and some kool ones. Dreamed of making copper arbors with huge dream catchers in the sides.....and dreamed of carving woodsy figures for the yard. I could be inspired to try both of them. Need to sketch out what I saw pretty soon or I'll forget that I even wanted to do this :rolleyes:

Karry on the psillie......

I had a dream last night about an overflowing toilet. Apparently, in the dream I was much too tired to do anything about it....

We had a retirement party/dinner for my uncle tonight, just the five of us, and I made the BEST blondies ever!!!!! I haven't had those in ages. I also had a haystack cookie, another thing I haven't had in forever. Haystacks are PButter and butterscotch chips melted together poured over chowmein noodles and scooped into cookies to set in the fridge. So we used Sunbutter and Glutino pretzels and gluten-free butterscotch chips and theyre just like I remember!!!! I never eat sugar, so I'm a little woozy after a brownie AND a cookie!!!! That's my binge.... oy. I'm so lame.

1 Cup Sugar

4 Large Eggs

1 Cup Dried Fruit

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Baking Soda

Before you start, sample the whiskey to check for quality. Good, isn't it? Now go ahead. Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc . . . Check the whiskey again as it must be just right. To be sure the whiskey is of the highest quality, pour one level cup into a glass and drink it as fast as you can. Repeat. With an electric mixer, beat 1 cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 tsp of thugar and beat again. Meanwhile, make sure the whiskey is of the finest quality. Cry another tup. Open second quart if necessary. Add 2 arge leggs, 2 cup of fried druit and beat till high. If druit gets stuck in beaters, just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the whiskey again, checking for tonscisity. Then sift 3 cups of salt or anything, it really doesn't matter. Sample the whiskey. Sift 1/2 pint lemon juice. Fold in chopped butter and strained nuts. Add 1 babblespoon of brown thugar, or whatever color you can find, and mix mell. Grease oven and turn cake pan to 350 degrees. Now pour the whole mess into the coven and ake.

Morninnnnnng! I have a song running thru my head....Gordon Lightfoot ...".I'm on my second cup of coffee, still can't face the day".....

That's me this am. Gotta get ready for work and just don't wanna do it. I want to find the door into summer, pass through and lock it behind me! If nothing else, I guess I'll take some of my study materials with me to help pass the time. Pretty soon we'll be back to madhouse in the park!

My sister got through her surgery all right. They cleaned up the meniscus (was a mess) and took care of the cysts. She has to go through a second surgery about a month from now for the ACL reconstruction. Don't know why they couldn't do this all at once and get it over with. :( She had plans to come down in April to visit....doesn't look like that's gonna happen.

Guten Tag alles. Bright and Shiny! B)

Good Morning, Gang!

Sounds like the knees in question are managing through the recovery - - Vicodan.... ...sounds good.

Tareeeesuh, is your sister by any chance a basketball player? My RMT was telling me last week that torn ACLs are the most common injury to befall a female BB player - -with competitive teams, something like a third of the girls will suffer this. :o

Guten Tag alles. Bright and Shiny! B)

Gluten tags?? What a superb idea. . . . . .li'l tags found on food that could possibly contain tiny, CC'd amounts of the stuff. . . ...

Or does this refer to the action taken when posting and labeling a picture on Da Book of something that may contain gluten? :lol:

Glad the first one is over. Having gone through three knee surgeries, my advice to your sister is

DO YOUR PT!

it makes the recovery so much better.

Gah. Worse here (colder, stronger wind) and get this: I bundled up to the point where I was absolutely unrecognisable (not just as me, but probably as a human), put the spiffy zip-up-da-back sweaters on the dogs, and off we went, dragging The Ripper in his snow pants and parka, to the trails near our house.

Trudged along for a brisk 45 minutes, until I could no longer stand Jack's plaintive screeching behind me...."Mom......MOM......!!! You are frickin' nuts. I need to turn aroooooouuuuunnnnnd!!!!" :lol::lol:

Kids these days.

It is regrettably too early still for a hot toddy.

Hmmmm....appetizer.....Jess, great parmesan suggestion, as it involves stuff ya tend to have around the kitchen. My favortite before-dinner, easy whip-up thing is bacon-wrapped dates. Problem often is that you don't have dates on hand.

You wrap a half piece of uncooked bacon around a pitted date and secure with a toothpick. I usually fill a cookie sheet with them, and they're into a 375 oven for about 25 mins. I have served them warm or cold....delicious either way, and cold is handy because you can do them ahead o' time.

SOOOOOOOOOOO yummeeeee. . . . .......

If you have pine nuts (but who does, on hand?) you can put a few sliced pieces in with the wrapped date.

OMG!! Love that! :lol: Official dessert of the silly summit!

My gawd Ter-essah, and she has to go through a second surgery now too. :( You know, my SIL who we just saw while in Syracuse a couple weeks ago, had what sounds like very similar surgery to repair her meniscus--she had cysts also--I'm thinking in the back of her knee?? I hope all goes smoothly for her from here :)

Eclair squares recpe BETTER be forthcoming!!!!!

Here's my favorite appetizer:

Appetizer Cheese Bake

1 egg lightly beaten

1 cup mayonnaise

1/8 tsp black pepper

3 cups finely shreded cheddar

1 onion finely chopped

Mix, put in greased 1 quart aking dish (glass) bake at 325 25 min til golden brown.

I know, it's retardedly high in calories, but ITS SO GOOD. It's really good with Chebe crackers or corn chips.

Nahhhhhh

Ummmm . . . it if was, it has some serious design issues . . . for instance, if you are going to extrude shapes, your "supply" feed area shouldn't be smaller than the "exit" area . . . is that TMI??? . . . how 'bout this . . . one good push and it goes flyin'.

If the Eclair squares pass the guest test (old friends, if this ends up being mush than we'll just eat ice cream) then I'll post it tomorrow . . . super easy to make.

I've had that cheese bake before (had a friend that used to make it) . . . it is yummy.

Honest to gawd, I am SOOOO pleased we have our Bevel in with us, constantly finding these unforgettable products!!!! :lol::lol: This outdoes the sauna pants, Bev......I actually believe that it outdoes anything and everything. .. . . . . ...

Um, yeah, the cleaning question. . .. .....actually, I did notice one terrific poster ask in the forum underneath the ad, "Is it dishwasher safe?"

Yes, one good push and it goes flyin'. . . .......it would teach sphincter control and judgment skills, i.e., when NOT to try making poopy shapes - - some BMs are definitely more shapeable than others, and one would likely become very good at knowing ahead of time what to expect. :lol: This could be a crucial skill to develop.... . ....... . . . . :lol:

:huh:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
