Hey everyone, I'm curious...what do you spend on groceries a week? It seems to me our food is tres expensive here.

Just getting used to things down here, and Mark wasn't home much for dinner for the first several weeks.....

In PA, there were 3 of us and I spent about $200 a week all told. Yeah..... <_<

Now, with just the two of us in TX, it's probably about $100 a week. We don't go out to eat much, just PF Changs a few times a month--and of course Starbucks.

I have to give you all my recipe for easy frozen pina coladas:

2-12 oz cans frozen lemonade

1-15 oz can coco lopez pure cream of coconut

1-48 oz can 100% pineapple juice

3 cups bacardi light rum

7-up

Mix all ingredients except 7-up in a freezer safe pastic container with lid (leave room in top for vapors--don't overfill). Freeze over night. When ready to serve, scoop out pina colada mix and add small amount of 7-up to achieve desired consistency.

Yum!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

Those look yummy, R. I used to love Pina Coladas, but I can't tolerate coconut anymore. :angry:

Stupid, inconvenient intolerances <_<

I can, however, tolerate wine--and am doing so more and more as of late :lol:

GOOD HUNGOVER MORNING, YA BUNCH O' P!SSTANKS!

(In my very loudest cyber-voice). . . . .....

:lol::lol::lol:

Such entertaining reading . . . .. . ....thank you so much, guys -- something I really needed this morning. LAFFS!

Your meandering discourse through last evening reminded me of the classic Flowers for Algernon. If you have not read it, you've missed a poignant masterpiece, and it is well worth it. It is a fantasy story - - the printed diary of a young man who is very mentally challenged (Down's syndrome, perhaps). His writing is exactly like the 11 pm rantings of Jyess and Rayechull.

A scientist begins to study him, and administers a new neurological drug that may "cure" mental retardation. Incredible what happens as one reads along - -the changes that slowly begin to occur with his discourse.

But NO SUCH thing happened last eve - - just kept declining into a final debauchery. :lol:

Wish I'd been there!

Friend's hibyy is out of work (drat this economy). He's made himself a goal of finding a bird feeder that will defetat the squirrles.

OMG.....I don't wanna know. .. . . .... ... :unsure: . . .. . .... ...a feeder that will DEFETAT the squirrels?... ....... . .. ...does it irradicate or neutralize them? Squish them? Fill them with toxic gas?

Jyess, you need to defetat yer boss.

I am in for Texas, depending on the time of year. We have often talked about a trip down south, and Texas would be brilliant. .. . ... . .

. . ....In Patteigh's new home!!!!! :):)

My dad is actually awake now. .. ...haven't heard much more.....going in this am. Thank so much, dear friends, for your concern. . . . . ..... :wub::wub:

Poor Jess. Now it's 'crying rain'--the moanin' after.

No headache pour mois. The first couple of sips make me feel mellow and buzzed and relaxed. By the end of the second drink I feel sober again and get the shakes. Hard to sleep. Wine especially does this to me.

"For the love of Peter"-- a new classic!! :lol::lol:

Say it ain't so, Nik!! Stay dry over there

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.   
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me        
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔
