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:

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

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 ;)

      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.

      @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?
