Dead mouse? What a Good Mornin' that is! :lol:

Just had some hot quinoa porridge (made a batch for the fridge this am after our discussion last evening)....with brown sweetener, cinnamon and the big treat - - homogenized milk......yuuuuuuummmmmmm.. . . ....... :)B)

I find that grains, generally, are NOT good for my blood sugar control, so I rarely indulge. Is it the same for you, POeter? Quinoa and rice seem to be the best for this.

Fantastically, alcohol is superb for keeping blood sugar down. Jess, you would make a great diabetic. :lol:

Me car's going in for the big tire change today - -spring is truly here! :)

And yet MORE laptop problems. . . . . ... :angry::angry: ..... . . does not allow me online, even though I am connected. WHAT IN HELL?? Somebody has told me that it is because it is running on only one bar of strength . . . .. .... :huh::huh: . . . . ... ....hanh??

Sigh. . .. . . .....I feel like I'm on only one bar of strength. . . . . . ..

Carry on, Psills!

Hi Sillies!

John is feeling a bit better. He has some more appointments and hopefully we find out more soon. I was able to find the Honey Chex last night--talk about exciting. I was dancing.

Its kind of gloomy here today too--I think they might be expecting rain which works for me--they were showing on the news yesterday where we are real dry for this time of the year and thats not good going into the summer months.

Paddeigh how are you settling in? Send me some warmer weather.

Till later

I went back into the room to discover that Lyle had eaten the ears off the mouse and left the rest for me.

This brings up serious social-psycho-ancestral-caveman questions when you consider the implications on the consumption of chocolate Easter bunnies...

And served to you in bed on top of it all!! :D

It's a bit cooler here this morning--58 and cloudy. I have me windows open to catch the breeze :)

Did I tell you guys that the fridge here doesn't work? The freezer is fine, but the fridge is only slightly cool. (which is odd since the whole place is brand new...) They gave me the key to an unrented apartment across the hall so we can use that fridge till the Whirlpool guy gets here today.

Walked over yesterday in me PJ's to fetch the almond butter :lol:

Hmmmm....why DO we eat the ears of those bunnies first? It would somehow seem weird if the first bite we took was off its face. . . . . .. . ....but why?. . . :huh::lol:

Take me through it Em!..do you boil in water or the milk??

...sounds GOOD! :P

I boil it in water for about 15 minutes. It keeps in the fridge really well (perhaps not Patti's apartment fridge :rolleyes: ) - - I've made a big pot and it's been fine for almost a week. I heat up a bowl in the microwave for a minute. Jack likes some honey, cinnamon and milk on it (I put berries on mine). . . . . ....TRY IT!! :)

Good news on John, Amanda! :)

Pahteigh headin' across the hallway in her jammies . . . .. :lol:

You MUST name this useless fridge.

I think Wayne.

My goodness sillies--I swear Lucky has become the pimp of the neighborhood--in the last week I got 2-3 different cats at the porch staring at him at our back porch. I don't know if he is showing off a little tail or what but he is very popular.....I can have my own little Kitty Brothel.

They don't seem to cause me much of a problem. Perhaps it is because I am using lispro (Humalog) which has a different action pattern than regular insulin.

Afternoon sillies :D

I see big ponderings going on here in Sillyville, why do we eat the ears off the chocolate bunnies first???

Nikki, I would give the quinoa another try. It does sound like maybe you used too much liquid. Give it a go with a reduced amount.

ANd score on the gluten-free baked goodies you found :D

Amanda, I LOL'd at you dancing in the cereal aisle. IT's the little things that bring so much joy :lol:

Patti, hope you get your fridge fixed soon.

A Lisa B poop in. Hi Lisa!!!!!

Got nawt to share. We are supposed to get snaugh tomorrow. We've had spring weather patterns all winter pretty much and now when I am REALLY ready for SPRING and wanting it here to stay we will probably get 4 weeks of winter LOL That's how it always goes :lol:

You all have yourselves a good day!

Julie--I can't believe you're getting sno!!!! :o And after 70 degree days, too. <_< Glad you checked in :D

Well, Wayne is fixed! He had to have his whoosie-whatsis motor replaced (located behind the freezer) and the drain was plugged (?). The fridge doctor was able to unclog the ice dam and replace the motor in about 20 minutes :D

Will leave the phood in Steve for 24 hours, as he suggested ;)

Now we have to decide if I should change Wayne's name........ :lol: This is getting complicated :P

Woke up a little after midnight and I've been awake since. It's rainy here, with a high probability of snuggly cats. It'd be a perfect day to call in sick......but it wouldn't do me any good in the long run, so may as well go in.

I got NO silly in me a'tall (menstrually depleted <_< ) but that did crack me up! :lol:

Field observations of 653 deer within 50 metres of power lines in the Czech Republic also revealed random orientation.

Okay, okay, let's think, now. . . . .....how can we use this highly researched area of study to help Tareeeeesuh and her plethora of unwanted deer? Perhaps a freakin' enormous magnet clandestinely buried in someone's yard down the street will orient them thattaway. . . ...... :huh:

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
