Actually, it does appear to move, :lol:

I emptied out the stomach before bed last night, so I think I'm better off than I woulda been. I got up and made 24 homemade cinnamon rolls this morning and 4 pots of coffee. Now that I'm sitting still, it's not good. I think I see a nap in my future

Hey! How's Gramma?

I haven't been here much lately with updates.

Canadian Thanksgiving was two weeks ago. We usually do our semi-annual makeover that weekend, but only got to it today. The weather has been unusually warm, and then it rained for a week. Today was cool, but pleasant and dry. The summer deck stuff is put away for the season, the squirrel bird feeder is up, along with the squirrel fountain bird bath.

Hot times at our place! Thursday we baked incinerated some taco shells in the oven. It was supposed to be set to 350oF. The plates came out much hotter. Did we accidentally set 450o?

Friday we put Kinnikinnick pizza crusts in, set for 375. The oven was cycling on and off, but the pizza was overdone. Okay, no coincidence here, something is f***ed up. (I said "fouled" - where were your minds?) Went to Wally World today and got an oven thermometer. Jacquie put it in the oven and set it to 200o. Temperature went up to almost 300o. I tried the oven at 350o -- it went up to almost 475o! Now we know what happened to the taco shells. :(

I heated some plates in the toaster oven this evening, set to 250o. The oven thermometer reported 240o, so it agreed with that oven.

Arrggh! Service call on the stove in the morning. It is a very old unit, nothing digital or even electronic, but well built and well insulated. It was in the house when we moved in in 1989, and was not new then. It likely was the developer's original when the condo was built around 1976. If so, it is the last original appliance. For those who remember the era of coloUred appliances, it is "Harvest Gold."

<snort> We had Harvest Gold appliances in our first house in 1976. It was a big decision to go with that, or the Avocado Green. Tres chic!

Speaking of squirrels, did I tell you guys that we inherited a squirrel with this house? I named him Chewy--he shows up on our deck every morning to get the acorns and unsalted peanuts I leave there for him.

The former owner told us about him--evidently he was so comfortable with them, he would eat out of their hands. With me, he's more comfortable with the glass door in between us while he eats.

Aha, so Patteigh has moved from North Jersey apt. to South Jersey house :rolleyes: Congratulations if my assumptions are correct :ph34r: The way we have to deduce information!!!! ;)

We have inherited neighbors' scaredy cat - they couldn't find her when they moved to Oz after the 2nd quake. She has even been so bold as to (once) let us touch her head, but usually lurks in the bushes waiting for food at same time each night (just before darkness). Sometimes if we are late she lies where we place the food bowl :wub: (of the cupboard kind) but is usually hiding by the time we get out there with the food.. For a while there we were jinxed because every time she started eating there would be an aftershock and we were afraid she would associate eating with quakes :huh: which was the reason she was MIA when neighbors left (I think they are coming back ?? but nothing happening on their house)

About 22 years ago, we moved into a lovely house with avocado shag carpet, avocado fridge and harvest gold oven. The appliances were 15 years old then, but going strong. We painted the fridge white & tore up that carpet.

Peter, it may be time for a " makeover" in the kitchen. This fall makeover....did you change your hair color? Get implants? Botox? New clothes?

We seem to be sharing a small white dog and a small white girl with the neighbors behind us! Their little puppy loves Cooper and Cooper loves him. The little one fits thru the fence and is always in our yard followed by his 8 year old girl ( she has a chair on her side & a step stool on our side as the human child doesn't fit thru).

Patti & Shroomie, Should I be providing pet food and acorns?

Patti & Shroomie, Should I be providing pet food and acorns?

The cat doesn't eat acorns, but I suppose I could try a new recipe for a new source of protein (but they're probably high in lectins :( )

ACORN PANCAKES from Sharon Hendricks

Break an egg into a bowl. Add:

1 teaspoon salad oil

1 teaspoon of honey or sugar

1/2 cup of ground and leached acorns

1/2 cup of corn meal

1/2 cup of whole wheat or white flour

2 teaspoons of double action baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 cup of milk

Beat all together. If the batter is too thick to pour, thin it with milk. Pour pancakes into a hot, greased griddle and cook slowly until brown on both sides.

Serve with butter and syrup or wild blackberry jam. Delicious!

Of course she doesn't mention the prep time on the acorns ;) And it does have corn meal :o

We were looking for our first house in mid-seventies and the one we liked had turquoise!! appliances. We did nae buy it.

* snort * ColoUr references of 1970's appliances......I very vaguely recall our house having a great deal of orange throughout my early childhood. I particularly remember the big avacado phone sitting on the li'l special phone table in the hallway.. .. . ..... :lol:

POeter! Can you believe that I found a pic of Jacquie proudly standing at your current stove during happier times, when it faithfully produced delicious pastries and roasts?

How on earth did she ever manage to organize a perfectly matching dress to the wallpaper??

Thanks Shroom--we closed on the house at the end of June and have been slowly moving everything down here. I've been living here since July with Mark staying at the apartment during the week and coming down weekends and usually Wednesday nights. Starting this week, he is down here for good and will be commuting the 77 miles. (apartment lease is up at the end of this month--it's effectively empty, just has to be vacuumed, etc)

Worked fer me!

Reminds me--in the late 70's, Mark and I had the latest in phones--it was brown, and the handle was super rounded so it looked like a big donut.

Might not be wallpaper . . . might be a curtain . . . which makes me think of Carol Burnett wearing the drapes in the Gone with the Wind parady.

When I was looking for my first house in 1989, I saw a house with the turquoise brathroom fixtures and a house with burnt orange bathroom fixtures. The one that I actually bought had the avacado green kitchen appliances . . . and the Refrigerator brand was "Norge."

Get a thumb report. B)

Does she have her dress that matches the drapes all pressed and ready to doff?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
