Did somebody say DOUGHNUTS?!?!?!?

Happy first day of the month to you too Nikki, me lips are sealed about the maple syrup indulgence!

OK- can I share some good news?

Kurt is on "sabbatical" for a month (the month he was supposed to take off right after he had the stroke uhm....2 summers ago). No- that's not the good news as I'm sure he will drive me crazy :o:lol: as much as I love him. I completely forgot that this past weekend we had tickets to see Lyle Lovett at the Cape Cod Melody tent. Actually, I wasn't even convinced I wanted to go but I MADE myself get in the car and it was GOOD.

Lyle was fun (and actually handsome in person- I have eclectic taste but I swear)! Good, gluten-free food was had. We stayed at a place on the side of the Cape that I think Alex thinks of when she pictures it and it was fun. I had FUN! We even went to a lavender farm (i now have milk and dark lavender chocolate and a mix for lavender lemonade. I could swim! And we went to the one place down there that makes gluten-free pizza (IMHO it's even better than Risoterria's in NY).

I have been off abx and sans PICC line for 11 days. I think I'm starting to feel a bit more human. :D

Wonderful news Bev, glad you had a fun getaway to the Cape AND that you are feeling human again :D:D

Well, thank GOD, I'm feeling a mite better today, because yesterday was HELL on earth. Won't go into details, because I really want to pretend yesterday never happened. But Mom came over and took charge of the kids, which was a relief, and frankly necessary.

More good news!! I'm glad today is a little better Sarah. Bless your mom for coming to help yesterday, you really needed that :)

According to my research a beaver tail is: "Beaver Tails"

Canadian Doughnuts

" If you ever visited Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the winter months on the Rideau Canal, which is the longest skating rink in the world, they serve a sweet pastry, that is essentially a flat doughnut with sugar on top.

Kind of like American fried dough, eh?

Sounds kinda like what we call Elephant Ears.

Hmmmmm....I'm seeing a pattern here.........Beaver Tails, Elephant Ears, Kangaroo Scrotum.............put them all together and you've got........?????????? :huh::blink::lol:

:o What in hell?! What could this meeeeeen??? :huh:

Well my feet hurt. I've been cooking all day. It started with a loaf of your basic gluten-free bread... and then I realized that cooking can be very soothing. First do this, then do that, one step at a time. Can't worry about anything else until you do the first step, then the next. Plus, the measuring, chopping, mixing... is all very mindless. Exactly what I needed.

So I made bread, taco beef in the crockpot, sugar cookies, and zucchini quiche (plus two extra pie crusts for the freezer.)

I think I'm gonna cook tomorrow, too. Probably should go buy some more freezer bags/containers. :rolleyes:

Well, DS has moved home!!!! We are so excited.

A year ago, he moved back to my MIL's house in Ontario, and we have had very little contact with him since. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, he called and told us he wanted to come home. We bought him a ticket and picked him up last night. He's spent most of the day with his friends, but actually came home on time for supper for the first time...well... almost ever actually. He seems to have found some manners as well.

Part of me, I must admit, is still waiting for the other show to drop so to speak and for things to go back to the chaos filled mess they were a year ago. Is that bad?

Oh well, for now we are enjoying his company. I am glad he is home, as I missed the additional testosterone support around here.

Happy Canada Day! We are off to watch the local fire works display tonight.

Oh Ryan--how wonderful! :D I'm so happy for all of you. Enjoy being together and try not to worry and get too far ahead of yourself--although it's quite natural to do so.

Yes, Emily, you must get packing now.

Canada Day was a quiet affair here, rather subdued for us. Still getting used to life without Thomas, but not feeling as down as I did yesterday.

Every July 1, I wonder why Canada celebrates this day, but not Open Original Shared Link. Oh, probably because nobody would want another holiday in December. But in terms of the development of Canada as a country, Open Original Shared Link, was much more significant than July 1, 1867.

Another busy day tomorrow.

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment.

      Quick update.  I saw the title of this thread and forgot that I'd actually started it!  Oh dear! It seems my new healthy diet was the cause of these symptoms,  I had a clear colonoscopy, thankfully. Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.

      While it's true that lifting heavy weights is a good bone builder, it may not be advisable for those with certain medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis and for the elderly or for those who don't have access to the equipment.  Bone building drugs like Fosamax slow down the disposal of worn out osteoclasts (bone cells) and so help maintain/restore bone density as seen in scans but because the retained cells are no longer healthy, the process may contribute less to actual bone strength than healthy cells would.
