True dat--it's sort of a tradition here :P Got home a little while ago from South Jersey--that 2 hour drive seems to go faster each time :D Just put a pizza in the oven--Peter, I used GFP French Bread mix for the first time as a pizza crust. 2 questions--do youse freeze the crusts shaped? and how thick do you spread the batter in the pizza pan? I used a spatula and just winged it but it's taking longer than the 15 minutes the instructions said to bake it. I might have used too much :unsure: oh--3 questions--how many crusts do you get per box?I'm hoping to eat it in a few minutes whilst watching Russell on LKL. :DB)

We spread it about equally over three 12.5" pans. So, that's three crusts from a box of mix. The package says "makes two" but we like a thinner crust. I bake the empty ones first for 10 minutes at 450oF and when they have cooled store them in the fridge in an extra large ZipLoc bag, separated by waxed paper. The fresh one with toppings is baked for about 15 minutes. The partially baked ones are done for ten minutes at 450 with toppings.

:( CNN is carrying "CNN Presents" right now in Larry's regular time slot.Had me pizza all set and everything :angry: But OMGawd....this was THE best pizza I've had gluten-free. The phunny thing is that I've been making the GFP bread regularly all this time and never used it fer pizza. I've been shulmping all the ingredients out and making a so-so crust from scratch--and all this time the perfect one has been hiding in my cupboard! :o:lol:

Isn't it just wonderful? As you already know, it makes a terrific bread too.

Guys, psills, I ask you to please find it in your hearts to spare a thought and a prayer for our 29 coal miners still underground after an explosion three days ago in the Pike River Mine. Gas levels are still too dangerous to send in rescuers or even a battery-powered robot; two men escaped from the initial blast; they are just about through with the drill digging a six-inch bore to where they think the miners are; very unspilly I know, but thoughts and prayers appreciated. :( Thanks!!

They have like 5 gluten-free beers and 2 ciders.

This is grand! Up here in Ontario we have only ONE gluten-free beer available.. :angry: .. ....La Messagere, and it is not great. I love our trips to the States, often for that reason - - can have a decent gluten-free beer.

Been thinking and thinking about this, Shrooome, and have kept forgetting to mention it. 'Tis heart-wrenching... . . ....we do not seem to be getting the constant updates here in Canada that we did over the two months of the Chilean mine disaster. .. . . . ..please keep us updated!

Thanks PeOte--those tips will be very helpful :) Being me phirst try, I made it just a wee bit thick but it was still really good--I just baked it longer. I will get 2 out of this batch, but next time will divide it into thirds. How great it will be to have a pizza crust all ready to go in the freezer--just like the "old days" :D

Nik!! me son and I were just talking about the Brit version of The Office on Saturday. He thinks it's one of the phunniest things ever :D

Yeah--the GFP mix is more like a thick batter--I spread it in the pan wif a rubber spatula :P Gotta love gluten-free baking....

When I started this diet in 2000, there was no gluten-free beer at all. :(

Today, there are three gluten-free beers available in Ontario, although I have yet to find a restaurant/bar which stocks any of them. I have heard that Il Fornello is now stocking New Grist, but I haven't been there to confirm it.

Two are made by a microbrewery in Quebec and the other by a brewery in Wisconsin. All three are listed at the Open Original Shared Link, but inventory varies by location. Use their web locater, or you can order at any store.

Open Original Shared Link The red ale is available in selected Open Original Shared Link locations.

Open Original Shared Link

I have tried all three, and my preference is the Messagere Red Ale, which is stocked by my nearest Beer Store. The original la Messagere Blonde ranks third, IMO.

We have New Grist. It is pretty sweet but I rotate it in with the Bards and the Redbridge. We can also get Greenes and another I forget but they come in big bottles and I prefer the regular size.

When M had to do a Scout project, we tried the GFP & Chebe pizza dough. We preferred the Chebe because it had more flavor with the spices in the crust (we call that a bug crust). We thought we might make it again but add some Ital spices and garlic to the batter. We put a piece of plastic wrap on it and used a glass like a roller to smooth it down. The boys like the Kinnick??? frozen crusts.

Being more of a wine drinker (see av), I've only had Redbridge. For a beer, I thought it was pretty good--although I like a lighter beer anyway.

For Thanksgiving, because its always at my house & I have to cook, I am making some different things. I am going to try a recipe from the 365 crockpot blogger for scalloped potatoes and a crockpot recipe for sweet potatoes. I have never made sweet potatoes except baked or oven fried. This recipe using some applesauce and a lot of brown sugar. Anyone have a good recipe? Would like to stick to the crockpot because my oven is small.

I usually stick to simple candied sweet potatoes--heating butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, pouring over cooked sweets and baking until sticky and bubbly. I've never made them in the crockpot, but I think the same topping could be used over raw sliced sweet potatoes and slow cooked. You could make a ton of them that way....

Maybe stick some orange slices in wif the potatoes....

Does the fact that it is carried at the NEAREST Beer Store have anything to do with your preference for the Red Ale? ;)

Thanks for all this, Oracle POeter! Our beer stores here in Ottawa only order La Messagere, and I'm not certain which one... . . .likely the light version, as you say it is the least tasty, and we find this one fair to poor. Couple this with the fact that a six-pack costs eighteen dollars :o, and I no longer partake in a bottle o' beer.. . . ...only when we're in the States and I can find a Redbridge - - quite tolerable, this. :)B)

Do you find that beer generally makes your blood sugar rise, POeter? It certainly does mine, so I have only ever been an infrequent partaker. . . . . ...dry wine is the way to go fer me!

pile the peeled, sliced, taters and yams in the crockpot along with chopped onion and some orange slices. A bit of orange zest is good too, if you like the surprise 'zing' of serious orange flavor while you're eating. You could also add some pie apples, but maybe halfway through cooking so they don't get mushy.

Cook on low for ~6 hours (check them for done-ness at about 4). When done, stir in a few slices of cooked, crumbled bacon (or sprinkle it over the top in the serving dish).

That sounds good. The recipe I saw had applesauce - good- 3/4 cup brn sugar - too sweet for me.

Not really. It is about a mile out of the way. I pass a source of the blonde on my way home most days, so it would be more convenient. But it lacks the body of the Red Ale. FWIW, the Red Ale is $15.55 for a 6-pack. The blonde is currently $14.95, and New Grist is $13.10. In each case, 0.60 is a refundable bottle deposit. Sorry about the "case" pun. :P

Yes, it raises my blood sugar, so it is an occasional indulgence.

I don't understand either. I thought that prices were fixed rigged the same province-wide. You can check prices online--thats where I got the ones I quoted. Red Ale is listed at the same price at the LCBO and at The Beer Store. :huh:

What a backward place this town is.. . . . ...here one can only order (or pick up, if they have any in stock) this beer from the LCBO, NOT the Beer Store. :huh:Canna.. . . . ......order... . . ....BEER... . ..from the.. . . ..BEER STORE. I was told this the last time I was at The Beer Store asking for La Messagere. "Sorry, ma'am....gotta order that from the Liquor Store".. . . . . ..

Gah. But there's more: In this province, we must return our empty wine bottles not to the Liquor Store, but to The Beer Store for the refund. :huh:

I want to try this. Are you cutting the orange up into bite sized bits or slicing thru with the peel, like on the glass of a drink?

Thanks. Did you decide to go to BE's family for T day?

According to their store locater, la Messagere Red Ale is stocked at Open Original Shared Link Not a lot of stores have it, but you can find them online. I am lucky that I am close to one. The city of Toronto lists only one, downtown on Spadina. :(

I peel the orange and limit the amount of zest 'cause I don't really like the shock of the intense orange flavor. Maybe dried zest would be a little easier, or just skip it. You could flavor after cooking with a splash of orange liqueur if it needed a bit more. Some people put some orange concentrate in, but I don't like it too juicy.

Not going to BE's, but he and I are planning on going to Open Original Shared Link on Friday, if the weather isn't too heinous.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
