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.

thanks, Jess!

the Spit sounds like just our kind of place. Have fun!

HEY! Thanks for all of this, POeter! Two of these locales are walkable from my place. I am going to purchase the New Grist - - methinks Will might like it. He's never been into blondes.

Big storm here. Took more than an hour to get from the boat to my house last night (4 miles). Power was out for a while and it's still flickering. Can't imagine what the roads are like. I have to figure out if I'm going to try to get into work or not. Not that I need to work, but I don't have a fireplace and it's pretty chilly in my house.

Outside temp currently 21. Reminding you that I'm in Seattle, where a low of 30 in February is a remarkable event.

Jeepers, Jess, this sounds like a three-cat day under the blankets :unsure: as Kerrigne says. How come you have no heat in your house??? :huh:

Em, I am afeared you are right; hope is fading fast even on the west coast amongst the mining community where they are a hardy bunch of survivors. I saw video yesterday from CCTV of the blast coming out of the mine and I don't think it was survivable. Gas levels are still too high to risk going in and possibly setting off another explosion. It seems like there may be a smoldering fire burning down below - it has been a rather gaseous mine :unsure: It is all very harrowing and frustrating for those affected.

How awful! It was a coal mine, right? They have horrible dangerous gases and collapses. The Chilian mine was metal or jewels. Those usually don't have the gas that is found in the rock around coal.

Think I have bought all the food I need for Turkey day except we get the smoked turkey tomorrow. Fortunately, it's cold because I can't fit the food in the fridge. I have to clean & re- organize a little. It's about 40 degrees so things will be fine on the porch for a little bit.

I heard about the robot. Hope that turns out OK.

My power went off about 5 am. I left at 11 when the house reached 45 degrees. I'm at BE's house, but his parents don't have power either, so he's gone to get them. :o :o :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: I'm in his shop, so can't hang around. Just wanted to email my prof that I won't make it to class tomorrow and what should I do about my homework?

Stay warm y'all.

Do you mean finding out what your assignment is or handing your homework in? Can you email the homework? Sounds like you have a legitimate excuse to hand it in late. Glad you're at BE's. Guess this means you decided to spend Thanksgiving with him (or is fate forcing your hand?). biggrin.gif

Just picked up our son at school. He's out eating a gluten packed dinner at a chinese restaurant. I decided that it would be fun for him and dad to enjoy eating without my restrictions tonight. Tomorrow it's gluten-free mac and cheese (for them, not me). I had planned on making Jewish Penicillin but he's not sick anymore. Of course I also have three huge bags of laundry that need to be done. I have to admit it's so nice to have him home that I don't mind doing it.

Happy Turkey Day to all. My thoughts and prayers are still with the miners but it is looking grim. Not a very happy holiday for them or their families.

P.S. question for my brilliant psillies:

I'm making a potato casserole and a squash casserole Thanksgiving morning. I need to make them in advance because I won't have room in the oven to heat them (making 2 ducks) so I want them cooked in advance so I can microwave them. They have eggs in them but again they will be fully cooked. Can I keep them outside if it's supposed to be 46 degrees. I won't have any room in my refrigerator for them.

(((HUGS)))

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
