you know what you need? An immersion blender! They're so awesome! And way easier to clean than a whole food processor. You should look it up, you can get a good one for 40 bucks. Good for smoothies and soups and whipping cream and all sorts a stuff!

I used to have one of those!!!!

Burned the motor up making milkshakes all the time :P

Love me beans......one of the few things I CAN eat! Have not tried the brownies, though.

Poor Gerald Geraldine :(

This weekend......phamily stuph. Teenage babydaddy nephew went off and got married, so there's a reception tomorrow. Then a family get-together Sunday, because one of Brian's sisters is in town. It will be a surprise for them when my son, Nathan shows up :D

No more school work. Good and bad. Now I'll have time to get some projects done around the house, but no money to spend on them <_<

Did your Hub come home for the weekend? Wish we lived closer, we could do something. My hub and M are going camping and fishing. J will have his own agenda (17 yr olds do). I should clean my closet or something productive but don't wanna.

Patti, it was RobbWolf who talked quite a bit about legumes and lectins - quite interesting :D and very un-Psilly. That's the way I am today. Also interesting (to me) I had just bookmarked a page of his yesterday from another poster here. :huh:

Next weekend. With the holiday, he'll be here 3 whole days :D Closet cleaning is one of those things I have to be in the mood for :P I wish you lived closer too...feels kinda lonely here since we only moved here 6 months ago and although I'm friendly with people, I really haven't made friends so to speak....which I suppose is for the best since I'll be leaving too. If this house ever sells....

Hey, gang!

Well, we Canucks have our long weekend now, a week before our southern neighboUrs - -this is Victoria Weekend, when we celebrate Queen Vicki's birthday. She was quite a monarch, and I am so pleased that we venerate her as we do here. She was one of the first users of chloroform as an anaesthetic during childbirth. She publicly praised and drank the fashionable nineteenth-century cocaine-based drink Vin Mariani that later inspired Coca-cola. AND she outlived 12 of her 42 grandchildren.

Yay, Vicki! :DB)

I plan to do good, Victoria-inspired works today, things like tending to my outdoor fauna, grooming the dogs, visiting my mom..... . . ..dunno if I'll have the opportunity nor the wherewithal to consume any cocaine - - may have to work at that one. ..... .<_<

Sounds like you are having fun. Did you make your husband shoe shop and go to High Tea? That should earn him some gluten-free brownie points!

But of course! They did a vegan tea for me at the Empress, my food was much better than Jesse's ;) Also, they do a celiac meal if any of y'alls are up here sometime!

Well, I think I've finally recovered from Wednesday afternoon evening night...

I followed Wednesday with a Thursday. It was Baaaaaaaaad! I came back to the hotel and passed out before 10. I took 8 shots in 10 minutes..... :blink: Yes, stupid (but tasty!)

Gah! I do hope they were shaped like veritable maple leaves. . .. . ...!

Absolutely!!!!

her thighs?? :blink:

And yes, after this week, they are! The smaller point at the knees and they just keep widening out from there!!! I think we're going to ride bikes up to Butchart Gardens today. That should burn a few calories! 19km each way :o -----Like I know how many miles a km is :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

We catch the ferry back to Seattle tonight! Hope there aren't anymore screamin kids!!

19 km is 11.7 miles. But it probably seems farther in metric units. It balances out though, cuz everything seems lighter in kilos. 45 kilograms doesn't sound nearly as heavy as 100 pounds (until you actually try to lift it ;) ).

I try to ignore my weight in all forms. I do like my weight if I were on the moon.

I just painted my toe nails an odd shade of red. In the bottle it looked like it would be a lovely burgandy - like the color that you see when you hold a glass of red wine up to the light. On me toesies it looks like dried blood with a shine. But its there, so there it will stay for a few days.

Taking the dog up to the rehab/ nursing home to see my mom. Fun times... :unsure:

Believe it or not, the same thing happened to me recently. We had been invited out to dinner before Mark left, and I was going to wear black so I thought it would be nice to change my toenails from my usual peach to red.

I got a really pretty (I thought) Chianti type deep red, but once I applied it it was too much of a good thing. It was dried blood red and against me very fair (read pasty) skin....oye :unsure:

Kept it on for a while too, but have since gone back to me trusty (boring) peach. :D

J, the 17 year old, said "cool that it looks like dried blood. The vampire thing is really in right now."

Don't want to leave right now. J's friend is playing some lovely guitar music below this open window.

Yeah--the look would have been better suited for someone a lot younger than me :lol:

It actually wasn't that bad, it was just sort of jarring.

Holy hot waiter Batman!!! In a kilt too, no less! Thank God for sunglasses :). Our 19km bikeride each way turned into a 4 hour, we don't know where the hell we are, bikeride. Can't say it was particularly fun, but the gardens were beautiful! So here we sit, unable to move, at this awesome Irish pub eating and drinking our aches and pains away ;)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
