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."

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

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
