Egads.I googled do chickens have sex with roosters and found out more than I EVER wanted to know about chicken sex. :lol: :lol: :lol:

RSTD....ba ha ha :lol: :lol: x 20

But what I REALLY want to know is do hens crave poutine? Is poutine gluten-free- the gravy part? What in the world are cheese CURDS- sounds gross!

Sorry, you will just have to eat something gross if you want cheese; curds is what is formed first and then they have to be compressed into those wheels you see--there is a lot of processes (and compresses) between the cow and the cheese.

I am ready to make my official Royal Gastronomic Opinion known.

I have never had poutine. However, how many of you have had cheesy loaded mashed potatoes with gravy? SAME THING!

So, I declare it a good thing and will be attempting to recreate at home (having recently leanred that the royal boyfriend loves gravy in all forms and sizes) using frozen safe fries, cheese, and homemade gravy. I will inform all of you once this has been accomplished. Now, everyone draw straws and whoever gets the longest short one will go to work for me tomorrow.... oy...

Sendin' a celiac disease your way, I am ;)

Suze . . . I think I've said this before . . . please don't send me Celiac Disease . . . although sometimes (like tonight) I think I may have it.

and one for Emmel, too :)

Emmel doesn't need any more Celiac Disease . . . you can only get it once you know.

Now . . . a Celiac Disease burner?? . . . is that some sort of new therapy?? .. ...sounds like it would hurt.

Geoss, do chickens lay eggs only once a month? :huh:

Nope . . . wouldn't be worth keepin' if they only got laid once a month. Twould be time for fried cikverb.

Suze, come over to my house and I will make you some gluten free fried chicken and poutine.

poultine, poultine, we all scream for poultine.

Do ckns eat poultine? Ckns eat anything, including each other. thier offspring, thier husbands, wives, and lovers. Ever here of fighting cocks? :rolleyes: Boy, you dont' want to mess with one of those! I once had a Banti rooster who attacked me and if my car window wouldn't have been closed, I could have lost an eye! The next day, It's spur hit my DD (2 at the time) under her eye. That rooster was dinner that night. :P

Ckns (hens) lay eggs daily in season. the first ones are really tiny, called pullet eggs. Then, they lay regular eggs for the seson. Then, they slow down, you bucther them, and they become stewing hens. It is legal to have hens in NYC, but not roosters. Even NYC knows men are bad! :ph34r: Sorry Petrer! Enough about poultry.

We want poultrine!

It's been a long typin and flipin day.

I gwine to watch comedy and sleep my errors away.

OMG

you guys have made me want

POUTINE

more than anything :angry::lol:

and I am simply going to DIE without getting it TOO-DAY :angry:

I want poutine :( *sniff*

DIS IS PHUNNEEE! :lol::lol: Sooozle, ya gots me larphin'... . . ....it's great to see your posts up here. . . . .

.....I have a friend who has them....big, chunky, wide, square feet.

Dear gawd, never seen these before.. . .... :unsure: . . . . . .. :huh: ..... . . .

Well, square feet would be a helluva lot easier to take than, say, hexagonal feet. . ........how about circular feet? Crap, you'd probably just keep walking back to where you've been...then forth... . . ....then back... . . ....forth..... <_<:rolleyes:

What is wrong with both the Susan's :( I, too am as you. Have an art desk setup (for 3 years,now). Have paint, brushes, paper that my daughter gave me for my b-day 1 1/2 years ago.

I, also, am guilty of this.. . . ......I do not prioritize my artistic/creative time, and it falls by the wayside. I painted a big mural in my daughter's room quite a while ago, and nuttin' since.

I need to start painting nude guys again.

:mellow:

:lol:

I've made poutine two or three times.....gad.......but not since celiac hit the household. It would be easy to do gluten-free - - make the gravy with cornstarch. I remember it being important to bake the fries really well, so that they are extra crispy (so much greasy crap smothering them)..........

When we have our massive Psilly Psummit, we are eating poutine. I am declaring this, despite my un-monarchical status.

This from Wiki:

Open Original Shared Link are popular in some Open Original Shared Link regions of Canada such as Open Original Shared Link and parts of Open Original Shared Link as well as in the Open Original Shared Link of the Open Original Shared Link. To the right are freshly made morsels of Open Original Shared Link before being pressed and aged. In Quebec and Eastern Ontario, they are popularly served with Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link as Open Original Shared Link. In some parts of the U.S., they are breaded and fried. Fresh cheese curds squeak against the teeth as they are bitten. There are also many popular varieties besides cheddar, such as white cheeses and flavored cheeses (Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, etc). The cheeses themselves are not flavored but rather lightly coated with a powdered flavor, natural or not, similar to Open Original Shared Link.

Mygawd....youse guys DEEP-FRY curds down there?? Man. . ...... .. . .I want some o' that. . . ..

And they DO make a squeaking noise when you are chewing them -- can be quite something as you pound back forksful of poutine, to be emitting li'l squeaks... .. .....like some demented, big, sick mouse er sumfin'.... . .. .

Wonder if we could deep fry poutine and put it on a stick? :huh::P

Buleeve cheese curds are cottage cheese witout d'juice.

Tiny initial eggs?? :blink: You're kidding me?

I got nuttin' yet. Roomie checks daily, he's more excited than I am.

Poutine sounds seriously evil. :unsure:

I have had gravy on my fries, but cheese too?.......Hold me back! :o ....Hello, my name is Leesah, and I am a cheese addict:ph34r:

And I have very nice feet, if I do say so meself. Although they have, on occassion, been referred to as monkey feet, cuz I can pick up most anything with 'em, and can spread all the toes apart. :P

Hubby never wants to see me toenails painted, cuz he thinks all feet are ugly and should not have attention drawn to them <_<

The only input I can offer on civkebs is that my FIL raises them, and so when my DD had her lovely outdoor wedding on their property, you could hear the chickens all during the ceremony.....and it's all on video! ;)

Gluten-free gravy can be made with corn starch as a thickener. Glutino makes a gluten-free brown gravy mix.

Buleeve cheese curds are cottage cheese witout d'juice.

Close enough for government work. When milk is curdled to make cheese, the solid part is the curds and the liquid part is the whey. In cottage cheese, most (but not all) of the whey is drained off.

:angry: We went to a community meeting this evening about "traffic calming" measures in our neighboUrhood. The town made major changes to our road, and one that intersects it, a year ago. The local councilor claims there was public consultation and surveys were conducted prior to the work being done. We have lived on this street for more than twenty years, and I read the local paper, and I read mailings from the town. The first I knew of this was when the 'Choke Points' were constructed. Apparently, AFTER the construction, a survey showed that 85 per cent of residents opposed what was done (include us in that 85%). Almost nobody at the meeting was satisfied with what the town did. But the town doesn't want to undo it because that would cost the same amount of money that they wasted doing it in the first place, leaving them where they started physically but minus $1,500,000 (estimate). :angry:

WAAAY too many amazing posts for one night, and it's not Friday???? Some quotes taken at random:

going to get my crockpot out now and put it on my "painting" table.

Now that's my problem, phinally identified: the crockpot is in the wrong place. Put crockpot on painting table, mix watercolor, heat on low for five hours and if ya still feel in da mood, throw some paint on de paper and see what happens; mix with garden soil from under de fingernails, throw on a civckeb and let in walk all over it and ye have a masterpeice :lol:

...I have a friend who has them....big, chunky, wide, square feet.

No, they's not supposed to be square, they's supposed to be cutely tapered, from da big one down to da little one, so they don't fit any of the current popular shoe styles.. No wonder so many peeples have corns and bunyuns.

I, also, am guilty of this.. . . ......I do not prioritize my artistic/creative time, and it falls by the wayside. I painted a big mural in my daughter's room quite a while ago, and nuttin' since.

Is dat wot fires de creative juices??? Have nae tried that....

He is right; I never even looks at my own feet unless forced to. Ugh!! :blink:

This sounds like basically normal guvmint function. We lives on a little rural street with views of harbour and mountains and it t'was only by a quirk we found out the council was planning to put a bloody big street light right in the middle of the view to light up the sidewalk we do not have so the people who walk on the non-existent sidewalk do not trip over the cracks in said non-existent sidewalk that the council would not have fixed. Fortunately, our petition and my repeated pesteringt of the council preserved our pristine views of moonrise over the harbor and we don't have to lower our blinds every night to block out the unasked for light.

We is busy packing our bags, packing our garage cupboards, eating up the refrigerator, pestering our drug company to get supplies of meds before we leave.... that one's the hardest. :angry: Getting out of here is never a fun time....

Goooood Morning, Psills!

Just may head out for a poutine at lunchtime today.......Let's see....there are any number of chip trucks dotted throughout the city to visit.....there's McDee's, Harveys, Swiss Chalet, Wendy's, virtually all of the little diners... . ..

It's eveywhere. :unsure::rolleyes:

However, I eat a plate of this stuff and I can hear my veins cracking afterward. AND, my blood sugar spikes.

AND, I'll have to undo my pants for a while -- the mailman is back to his lunchtime delivery schedule, so I could well have another unplanned, embarrassing meeting with him.

So.... . . ....may not. :lol:

I loved how that Canadienne tart said, in that video, that poutine looks like "the stuff that comes out of yer nose." :lol:

That's Mitsou, our Francophone one-hit wonder. Her song, Mon Cowboy, is maddening in its base, amateurish kitchiness, but one canna stop singing it once it is heard......

<*I have always maintained that BUGAR is spelled like SUGAR, but most choose the more common BOOGER. since childhood I have felt this is not right> :lol:

I suppose it all lies in its pro-nun-see-ay-shun........I actually say "BOO-ger" (um....not very often, upon reflection). . ....... :huh::lol:

Although they have, on occassion, been referred to as monkey feet, cuz I can pick up most anything with 'em, and can spread all the toes apart. :P

Ha! Me, too.....I'm quite monkey-ish, as I can spread 'em apart and pull back the big toe so that it is close to touching the top of me foot. Quite sick, actually. Or Cirque de Soleil, p'raps. . . . ..... <_<

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
