See, this is why I am not allowed to have expanded cable......I would have watched this ALL DAY.....into the night.........and every day thereafter. :blink: *sigh* The Food Channel.......HGTV....... not allowed.

Ah yes, but not expanded cable...this came as part of my "basic broadcast channel" cheapie only $14 a month cable. :P

That and the Travel Channel, which oddly has some interesting tribal shows :P and lots of shows about, well, travel :lol:

Oh, and Sci-Fi channel which oddly fascinates me. :P

Annie's eaten all the pre-game and the game snacks. She's such a selfish little hostess. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Poor Annie -- I think both just got fatter during mommy's bedridden state. Did not help that I was throwing miniature marshmallows (BLECH! the homemade ones are just so superior!) at her yesterday, for...something to do....... :lol::ph34r:

So . . . if I understand this correctly, your superbowl snacks were a bag of miniature marshmallows?? Not traditional football fare? What do you have for Thanksgiving? Tacos? Chocolate Chips? Crackers?

Where's Bev? Where's Sarah? mygawd, have we lost SArah forever? :huh:

And.......wasn't there someone new who asked to join us - - and then we never saw her again?

:lol: :lol:

I'm not surprised.

Yes, I thought with all the new blood coming in we would have to change how long a queen/king were to remain enthroned. I thought we would be flying through the pages . . . 100 pages would only last a week . . .hmmm, I'll have to go fishing in another thread again.

Yes. exactly that. Chips, crackers, and granola straight out of the bag. And christmas......we really knock ourselves out - chips and salsa, and snickers, all day.

:lol:

Emily! Exciting news about your hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phecal Phat is phunny to say. :lol:

Dating..............oh dear gawwd. Horrible topic these days.

Ptaum - - OMG. No, I USED to date men I THOUGHT I liked (most, I did like) as a gluten-brain. I ruined nearly every good relationship - well, two of the three major ones, I did. :( a very sad story and actually, you could write a Danielle Steele trash novel out of it....only - wait - no happy ending yet. :huh:

So when I was young, cute, and fertile and desperate to be married, I made very bad decisions about men in the Monterey years. Now that I'm old and fading (becoming invisible - the TERRIBLE thing that happens to middle-aged women :angry:) I really haven't been enthralled w/ the men I've dated since Robert.......I mean.....it's easy to get caught up in something when someone is desperately chasing you - and hard to discern whether you really like the MAN, or the attention.

I'm getting better though. Last guy, I only went on two dates.....could discern the neediness and clingy-ness IMMEDIATELY and went no further. Desperation and neediness are MASSIVE turnoffs, are they not? The absolute kiss of death.

[oh and plus - - when the last guy tried to kiss me - - a furtive attempt w/ a minnow-like tongue - which I blocked, BTW - he had razor-sharp, cold lips, and reeked of onion............. <green-face here> :huh: BLECH! ]

But it makes me SOOOOOOOO sad......now that I'm clear-headed and have so much more to offer.....the offers are drying up, and I live in an agricultural community - - slim pickin's for interesting, brilliant, yummy OLD ENOUGH men. :angry: And moving isn't an option.

:(

OMG so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :blink: This issue has been plaguing me lately, though. I mean, the world's supposed to end in 2012, right, according to the Mayan calendar? Geez, I've only got four years now. :lol:

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find me one in San Jose, Tom. A plethora there, right?

BACK TO SILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, got my first email entry on DH's phart chart a few minutes ago: 5. FIVE!! Remarkable. A week ago it was what, 65 by noon? I wait with bated breath for the final count at bedtime..... :lol::lol:

Now what are we gonna do around here when we get bored and can't count Emily's husband's pharts? :unsure:

Seriously, I'm thrilled about his response to the diet :D

Have I ever mentioned my 3-touchdown Thanksgiving Day game?? :lol::lol:

GAH!! Bite your tongue, foreigner!!!!!!

Pretty much EVERY PLAY, I had to be as 'on the edge of seat' as one can possibly be during full reclination of a big comfy recliner :mellow::wacko:

Sounds like a classic hover!

I dunno...I'm much more excited by the games that end in the last two minutes at 38-36...like in the Grey Cup! ;):P

Actually, as a foreigner, I had quite a vested interest in last night's game. Lawrence Tynes is a Canuck and was Ottawa's kicker for three of four years...till we folded. :(

A considerable slowdown from last week, where at that point in the day he was at 70, or something. We'll wait to see what the famously active eveningtime will bring.....

well, I can see you're all about as loopy as a herd of weed-eating pigs (was that from the OMG thread?) about the Minnow Tongue analogy. Just WAIT until I tell you about Sharks, Sucker Fish, Darter Fish, Groupers, Bottom Fish, and worst of all, the Tonsillectomy Fish. Yes, friends, these are all different types of kissers. BAD, bad kissers.

Here's an off-topic question (yes, I consider it off-topic since it is a serious question):

To those who are or have ever been dairy free . . . Is goat chees OK or not?

I think it depends on why you're dairy free. If it's casein, then no. If its something else, than maybe, you'll just have to try it.

Leeches are what we call Sucker Fish. They're ALL fish. All the bad kissers will be described as follows, for your entertainment.

[i made these up in high school. Friends love them. :lol: ]

Shark: Visible teeth marks remain around the outside of the mouth after the session. One feels devoured, and not in a good way.

Sucker Fish: very unpleasant sucking mechanism in play whilst kissing; often accompanied by disquieting noises.

Bottom Fish: This is the very laaaazy kisser, with a fat blob of a tongue that just invades the mouth. Messy, wet, very bad.

Grouper: Similar to Bottom Fish, but even lazier and blobbier, rather invading the mouth like a.....well like a big, wet Grouper fish.

Darter Fish: Sharp, non-malleable, pointed, deeply probing tongue. Very dry and unfriendly kiss. Tongue can either just jab sharply in, or can rotate......either way, quite untenable.

Minnow: Slight, furtive motions with the very timid, wee tongue. Note: this one is the most trainable of the lot.

Stink Fish: Blech. The name says it all. However, one woman's stink could be another's bliss, so quite subjective.

I've seen several mentions in the past about the goat & cow caseins being sufficiently different for some to have no reaction to one & be fine w/ the other.

Hmmmm where oh where did I see those?

I haven't tried goat cheese, but after 3 years dairy free, I can tolerate a little sheep's milk cheese.

The worst of the bunch, in my opinion. Of course in my case, we're talking ancient history :lol: Some things you just never forget--like trying to wipe off one's face without hurting the fish's feelings :P

I can't do goat... My issue is with the casein and apparently it isn't different enough for me. I LOVE goat cheese...makes me spit nails that I can't have it. :P Like Patti, I can tolerate a tiny bit of sheep milk yogurt (only once per week though).

tom Contributor

I should specify that I only go for the 'fresh' goat cheeses, not aged.

So, it's feta, mozzarella & chevre. :) yum :)

      How high is too high?  I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day.  My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L).  Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80.  Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack.  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom severity.  This is a most dangerous popular belief. As mentioned you are suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Part of the recovery, that is never explained by doctors, is replenishing your deficits.  Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption.  The Western diet is a diet of deficiency.  That is why many...

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. ...

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve...

They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices...

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our...
