Egads.I googled do chickens have sex with roosters and found out more than I EVER wanted to know about chicken sex. :lol: :lol: :lol:

RSTD....ba ha ha :lol: :lol: x 20

But what I REALLY want to know is do hens crave poutine? Is poutine gluten-free- the gravy part? What in the world are cheese CURDS- sounds gross!

mushroom Proficient

Sorry, you will just have to eat something gross if you want cheese; curds is what is formed first and then they have to be compressed into those wheels you see--there is a lot of processes (and compresses) between the cow and the cheese.

I am ready to make my official Royal Gastronomic Opinion known.

I have never had poutine. However, how many of you have had cheesy loaded mashed potatoes with gravy? SAME THING!

So, I declare it a good thing and will be attempting to recreate at home (having recently leanred that the royal boyfriend loves gravy in all forms and sizes) using frozen safe fries, cheese, and homemade gravy. I will inform all of you once this has been accomplished. Now, everyone draw straws and whoever gets the longest short one will go to work for me tomorrow.... oy...

Sendin' a celiac disease your way, I am ;)

Suze . . . I think I've said this before . . . please don't send me Celiac Disease . . . although sometimes (like tonight) I think I may have it.

and one for Emmel, too :)

Emmel doesn't need any more Celiac Disease . . . you can only get it once you know.

Now . . . a Celiac Disease burner?? . . . is that some sort of new therapy?? .. ...sounds like it would hurt.

Geoss, do chickens lay eggs only once a month? :huh:

Nope . . . wouldn't be worth keepin' if they only got laid once a month. Twould be time for fried cikverb.

Suze, come over to my house and I will make you some gluten free fried chicken and poutine.

poultine, poultine, we all scream for poultine.

Do ckns eat poultine? Ckns eat anything, including each other. thier offspring, thier husbands, wives, and lovers. Ever here of fighting cocks? :rolleyes: Boy, you dont' want to mess with one of those! I once had a Banti rooster who attacked me and if my car window wouldn't have been closed, I could have lost an eye! The next day, It's spur hit my DD (2 at the time) under her eye. That rooster was dinner that night. :P

Ckns (hens) lay eggs daily in season. the first ones are really tiny, called pullet eggs. Then, they lay regular eggs for the seson. Then, they slow down, you bucther them, and they become stewing hens. It is legal to have hens in NYC, but not roosters. Even NYC knows men are bad! :ph34r: Sorry Petrer! Enough about poultry.

We want poultrine!

It's been a long typin and flipin day.

I gwine to watch comedy and sleep my errors away.

OMG

you guys have made me want

POUTINE

more than anything :angry::lol:

and I am simply going to DIE without getting it TOO-DAY :angry:

I want poutine :( *sniff*

DIS IS PHUNNEEE! :lol::lol: Sooozle, ya gots me larphin'... . . ....it's great to see your posts up here. . . . .

.....I have a friend who has them....big, chunky, wide, square feet.

Dear gawd, never seen these before.. . .... :unsure: . . . . . .. :huh: ..... . . .

Well, square feet would be a helluva lot easier to take than, say, hexagonal feet. . ........how about circular feet? Crap, you'd probably just keep walking back to where you've been...then forth... . . ....then back... . . ....forth..... <_<:rolleyes:

What is wrong with both the Susan's :( I, too am as you. Have an art desk setup (for 3 years,now). Have paint, brushes, paper that my daughter gave me for my b-day 1 1/2 years ago.

I, also, am guilty of this.. . . ......I do not prioritize my artistic/creative time, and it falls by the wayside. I painted a big mural in my daughter's room quite a while ago, and nuttin' since.

I need to start painting nude guys again.

I've made poutine two or three times.....gad.......but not since celiac hit the household. It would be easy to do gluten-free - - make the gravy with cornstarch. I remember it being important to bake the fries really well, so that they are extra crispy (so much greasy crap smothering them)..........

When we have our massive Psilly Psummit, we are eating poutine. I am declaring this, despite my un-monarchical status.

This from Wiki:

Open Original Shared Link are popular in some Open Original Shared Link regions of Canada such as Open Original Shared Link and parts of Open Original Shared Link as well as in the Open Original Shared Link of the Open Original Shared Link. To the right are freshly made morsels of Open Original Shared Link before being pressed and aged. In Quebec and Eastern Ontario, they are popularly served with Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link as Open Original Shared Link. In some parts of the U.S., they are breaded and fried. Fresh cheese curds squeak against the teeth as they are bitten. There are also many popular varieties besides cheddar, such as white cheeses and flavored cheeses (Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, etc). The cheeses themselves are not flavored but rather lightly coated with a powdered flavor, natural or not, similar to Open Original Shared Link.

Mygawd....youse guys DEEP-FRY curds down there?? Man. . ...... .. . .I want some o' that. . . ..

And they DO make a squeaking noise when you are chewing them -- can be quite something as you pound back forksful of poutine, to be emitting li'l squeaks... .. .....like some demented, big, sick mouse er sumfin'.... . .. .

Much too much silliness to quote.

Suze, the crockpot holds down the painting supplies.

Wonder if we could deep fry poutine and put it on a stick? :huh::P

Buleeve cheese curds are cottage cheese witout d'juice.

Tiny initial eggs?? :blink: You're kidding me?

I got nuttin' yet. Roomie checks daily, he's more excited than I am.

Poutine sounds seriously evil. :unsure:

I have had gravy on my fries, but cheese too?.......Hold me back! :o ....Hello, my name is Leesah, and I am a cheese addict:ph34r:

And I have very nice feet, if I do say so meself. Although they have, on occassion, been referred to as monkey feet, cuz I can pick up most anything with 'em, and can spread all the toes apart. :P

Hubby never wants to see me toenails painted, cuz he thinks all feet are ugly and should not have attention drawn to them <_<

curlyfries Contributor

The only input I can offer on civkebs is that my FIL raises them, and so when my DD had her lovely outdoor wedding on their property, you could hear the chickens all during the ceremony.....and it's all on video! ;)

Quite charming, really :D

Gluten-free gravy can be made with corn starch as a thickener. Glutino makes a gluten-free brown gravy mix.

Buleeve cheese curds are cottage cheese witout d'juice.

Close enough for government work. When milk is curdled to make cheese, the solid part is the curds and the liquid part is the whey. In cottage cheese, most (but not all) of the whey is drained off.

:angry: We went to a community meeting this evening about "traffic calming" measures in our neighboUrhood. The town made major changes to our road, and one that intersects it, a year ago. The local councilor claims there was public consultation and surveys were conducted prior to the work being done. We have lived on this street for more than twenty years, and I read the local paper, and I read mailings from the town. The first I knew of this was when the 'Choke Points' were constructed. Apparently, AFTER the construction, a survey showed that 85 per cent of residents opposed what was done (include us in that 85%). Almost nobody at the meeting was satisfied with what the town did. But the town doesn't want to undo it because that would cost the same amount of money that they wasted doing it in the first place, leaving them where they started physically but minus $1,500,000 (estimate). :angry:

WAAAY too many amazing posts for one night, and it's not Friday???? Some quotes taken at random:

going to get my crockpot out now and put it on my "painting" table.

Now that's my problem, phinally identified: the crockpot is in the wrong place. Put crockpot on painting table, mix watercolor, heat on low for five hours and if ya still feel in da mood, throw some paint on de paper and see what happens; mix with garden soil from under de fingernails, throw on a civckeb and let in walk all over it and ye have a masterpeice :lol:

...I have a friend who has them....big, chunky, wide, square feet.

No, they's not supposed to be square, they's supposed to be cutely tapered, from da big one down to da little one, so they don't fit any of the current popular shoe styles.. No wonder so many peeples have corns and bunyuns.

I, also, am guilty of this.. . . ......I do not prioritize my artistic/creative time, and it falls by the wayside. I painted a big mural in my daughter's room quite a while ago, and nuttin' since.

This sounds like basically normal guvmint function. We lives on a little rural street with views of harbour and mountains and it t'was only by a quirk we found out the council was planning to put a bloody big street light right in the middle of the view to light up the sidewalk we do not have so the people who walk on the non-existent sidewalk do not trip over the cracks in said non-existent sidewalk that the council would not have fixed. Fortunately, our petition and my repeated pesteringt of the council preserved our pristine views of moonrise over the harbor and we don't have to lower our blinds every night to block out the unasked for light.

We is busy packing our bags, packing our garage cupboards, eating up the refrigerator, pestering our drug company to get supplies of meds before we leave.... that one's the hardest. :angry: Getting out of here is never a fun time....

Goooood Morning, Psills!

Just may head out for a poutine at lunchtime today.......Let's see....there are any number of chip trucks dotted throughout the city to visit.....there's McDee's, Harveys, Swiss Chalet, Wendy's, virtually all of the little diners... . ..

It's eveywhere. :unsure::rolleyes:

However, I eat a plate of this stuff and I can hear my veins cracking afterward. AND, my blood sugar spikes.

AND, I'll have to undo my pants for a while -- the mailman is back to his lunchtime delivery schedule, so I could well have another unplanned, embarrassing meeting with him.

So.... . . ....may not. :lol:

I loved how that Canadienne tart said, in that video, that poutine looks like "the stuff that comes out of yer nose." :lol:

That's Mitsou, our Francophone one-hit wonder. Her song, Mon Cowboy, is maddening in its base, amateurish kitchiness, but one canna stop singing it once it is heard......

I suppose it all lies in its pro-nun-see-ay-shun........I actually say "BOO-ger" (um....not very often, upon reflection). . ....... :huh::lol:

Although they have, on occassion, been referred to as monkey feet, cuz I can pick up most anything with 'em, and can spread all the toes apart. :P

Ha! Me, too.....I'm quite monkey-ish, as I can spread 'em apart and pull back the big toe so that it is close to touching the top of me foot. Quite sick, actually. Or Cirque de Soleil, p'raps. . . . ..... <_<

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      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
