Men In Trees!

[MySuicidalTurtle]

I am watching ABC's Men In Trees and Mai made some gluten-free dumplings for Ben! I was all excited to see that, ha!

I'm not familiar with the show... What is the context for the gluten free-edness.

[DingoGirl]

Is Ben Celiac? Or are they just being clever? I love that show....did you hear the latest gossip, that the blonde (Anne Heche) has just left her real-life husband for Jack, and that Jack has left his real-life wife for her??? Quelle scandale!! Perhaps gluten IS clouding their brains, and they ALL need the gluten-free dumplings?

I was excited to hear the reference...it even caught my husband's attention. Just wish it hadn't been in response to Ben's grimace after taking a bite of Mai's gluten-free dumplings.

are gluten-free dumplings Asian dumplings or the type of dumplings that go in stew type receipes? If the latter, who'd have a receipe for that!?

And yeah, why are they discussing gluten-free on this show? someone on show maybe has celiac disease in real life or does character claim to have it? Interesting....

i watch this show every week and have heard them talk about gluten free food other times. I don't remember who it was that couldn't eat it. it might of been buzz but then we see him drinking beer on the show so i don't know. but if you watch it on a regular basis you will hear it come up every once in a while.

If the former, also, recipe would be loved. I would kill for a gluten free Bao recipe.

That is so neat, I might check this show out.

That's the 2nd time I've seen them mention it! The first time she was having guests over and they were making dinner. She said something about Buzz being out of town and how she normally had to make that dinner gluten free because he couldn't have gluten. I love that show!

I saw it too and was wondering how to make it, my mouth started to drool! I want to live in Elmo. The show reminds me of a modern northern exposure. I would assume the recipie (if for real) would be a rice based dumpling, will have to experiment and research the net!
