GooOOoood Twenty-Ten morning, Paills!

Actually, depending on when you indulged, Sooooze, I may have beaten you to the punch -- I am sure I ate sumfin' that was cc'd last night at our friend's house....got some rumbling going on... . . .....

MY first and LAST glutening of 2010! (Wouldn't THAT be nice).... ....

All right: Operation Tree-Down to commence.......

[Darn210]

Happy twenty ten youse guys!!!

I slept about 9 hours last night (that's a LOT for me). Briefly awakened at midnight by neighborhood fireworks but went back to sleep immediately. Suze, were you banging yer pots and pans at midnight last night?

. . . and Suze, I do agree that when you eat sweets you have to eat some salty to counteract but next time pick a differnt flavoUr . . . and I, too, hope it's not too ruff.

Probably one of the best meals I've ever cooked last night . . . hope the leftovers taste decent as there are quite a few.

Jaw update . . . I think I'm doing better but still gotsa ways to go. My teeth aren't hurting near as much, but my jaw joint still feels tired/sore.

Off to bake some muffins . . . I'm onto a really good recipe now and must go check to see if it was a fluke or if I can repeat myself.

Me too.

And the new year starts in Seattle with pouring rain. This means I have no excuse for not cleaning up the house. :angry: I'll try not to over-exert myself.

Merry! Happy! Cheery! to all!!!

[jerseyangel]

Good 2010 phirst mornin' to ya'll!!

Gads--we've had our phirst couple 'o glutenings already.....I guess it's best to just git em out of the way early Pseriously, hope you both feel better soon

What was this wonderphul dinner, Jan-it?? Please share Glad the jaw/teeth are showing signs of improvement.

We stayed up till just after 12 our time--I never realized the festivities end at 12 eastern time (at least on TV ). That last hour was spent watching HGTV and dozing off from the wine and carb fest.....

Ah....Nik's pinch-punch.....all's right wif the world

All of our Christmas stuff is down and put away--now back to the fans and blinds.....we may get settled sometime in 2010, we hope

[celiac-mommy]

Looks like you and the kiddos had such a fun, happy day yesterday

[curlyfries]

Leesargh - don't know WHAT to tell you, but it's three hours ahead where you are - WHOT did you decide to do???

We ended up sticking with tradition. Did nae want to worry about the food, and didn't feel like leaving our friends and a warm cozy house to treck across town to dance on a crowded little dance floor. We had a good time, and I made some awesome potato skins

I also had an awesome lunch with a coupla old friends........lots of laughter......SO much fun! I really missed them. Already planning to do it again over Spring break

All right: Operation Tree-Down to commence.......

I'm joining you! It'll be a phirst for me, procrastinator that I am!

I have high hopes for 2010.

Wishing everyone a brighter, happier, less stressful year, full of wonderful surprises

Well, it wasn't like it was anything that special . . . I did a pork loin (never did a pork loin before, only tenderloins). However, instead of dry and chewy (like I make my roast beef ) it was moist and tender . . . Also had roasted potatos/carrots and sauteed green beans/mushrooms/onions . . . AND (and this is a big one) it all got done at the same time.

wif crustless pumpkin pie for dessert.

Storage boxes have started descending from the attic for packing away of the Christmas stuff . . . I'll make sure I go slow, wouldn't want to overdo it . . . will probably take the whole weekend

[DingoGirl]

I slept about 9 hours last night (that's a LOT for me). Briefly awakened at midnight by neighborhood fireworks but went back to sleep immediately. Suze, were you banging yer pots and pans at midnight last night?

Nope, not this year.....I think I was asleep by 11.

and WHAT are these muffins you speak of? Sounds like your dinner was quite good....my friend made Pioneer Woman's pork tenderloin w/ homemade cranberry sauce - said it was TO DIE FOR -

in other news -

no signs whatsoever of a glutening Bowels totally normal today......

guess it was just a light dusting of barley malt flour - did nowt

Well, new year, new decade..........very happy to see 2009 go.......

Good things for all of us in 2010, hear hear! Happy New Year to all -

[celiac-mommy]

I just finished writing a letter to my auntie, who prefers to get "real mail" Well, I tell ya, 5 pages later (it's been a white since I've wrote her...) I think my wrist is broken. Carpal tunnel at the very least. WHY DOTH SHE REFUSES THE COMPUTER????

Hope yers day hafs been gouda!

[elye]

Wow....just got back from a TERRIFIC exhibition game - - The Canadian Olympic Womens' Hockey Team vs. the US. What a showdown, and what stellar hockey.....fast-paced, no vicious shoving or smashing into the boards....just beautiful skating and stick-handling, superb athleticism.....

AND.......Canada won, 2-1.

Go, girls, GO!

[mushroom]

Wow....just got back from a TERRIFIC exhibition game - - no vicious shoving or smashing into the boards

Not being a Canuck or from the northeast, here all along I thought that's what hockey fans went to see

At least from what I saw on the teevee....

Anyways, well done Canucks!!

[jerseyangel]

Glad you had a good time, Em

Ugh.....I think I musta got cc'd er sumphin. Woke up wif the telltale back of the neck headache, queasy all day but hungry, and so dopy and tired. Think I'll turn in early.....

Nite sills

[elye]

'Mornin', gang!

Oh, no.....another glutening! Crap, Pahteee. Hope you are better this am. Still dunno if I was actually cc'd - - it did not last long, and it was kinda crampy stuff, not bloating or D happening. Guess I'll never know.

Hey! Oracle POeter may know this.......I was just thinking about how I miss our great li'l emotifaces on this forum when I'm typing just about anything anywhere else. I wonder if you could move them into conversations in the facebook chat windows? I somehow doubt that the fb gods would have such settings.. . .....more's the pity -- I'm sure I am being completey misinterpreted when I'm furiously chatting away with someone, and I don't have that perfect li'l cackly phace at my disposal... . .. ......

[Darn210]

Glad it was short-lived, Em . . . hope yours is too, Patti.

Yeah . . . I need these available for when I'm sending emails or writing my Christmas letters . . . a picture an emoticon is worth a thousand words and all that!!

[jerseyangel]

Yeah, thanks goils, I'm better today. Thankfully it doesn't last too long anymore. I took a couple pre-emptive Immodium (actually didn't have D with this round, but ya never know ) and we're at Starbucks having a warm drink before running a few errands. Could have been cc or a combination of snick snacks and wine on New Years Eve. Like Em, I really don't know.

Jan-it--meant to comment on yer dinner (yum!)--how did you get the pork moist? I'm always afraid of undercooking pork and subsequently I over do it and it gets dry. Is it a timing thing, or do you have a trick up yer sleeve?

Pseriously considering getting me hair cut into a long shag and relaxed. It's that time of year again Been growing it out and am getting itchy to do sumphin. Opinions? Mark thinks I should do whatever makes me happy (read: stop talking about it and do it), Matt thinks I should keep it the way it is (not a chance).....
