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?

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?

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
