Fall Food Questions

OMG, it's fall! I love stopping at QuikTrip to get cappucino (not sure why I love them so much but to me they beat a $5 Starbucks cappucino anyday!). Also caramel apples are a big treat this time of year.

Are those okay? The caramel apples at Wal-Mart appeared to be okay ingredient-wise, but just wanted to double check. Anyone know about QT?

Also, what do you do for Thanksgiving? I was planning on just making a small dinner here on Tuesday or Wednesday and using those divided tupperware plates with lids to ration out some meals to take with me to my grandma's and to my husband's family get together. That way I don't have to worry about cross contamination or trusting other people to make my food. Is that what you do? What do you make/take?

THANKS!

Your plan for Thanksgiving sounds like a great idea. That way you can just relax and enjoy the holiday. I've been bringing my own food alot lately. I need to get some of those plates!

The caramel apples and cappucino should be safe, but I can't say for sure since I have a dairy allergy and don't eat those things.

For Thanksgiving, my brother's family and mine meet at my parent's house. My mom cooks some of the food and we bring some other things. Several of us have assorted food allergies so we are very careful what we make. Two years ago, I made stuffing with gluten free bread and my daughter (the only one with the gluten allergy) didn't eat the stuff. I can live without stuffing and frankly it was very expensive to make. Last year I just made wild rice and we had that instead of stuffing.

For gravy, I make it from pan drippings and use sweet rice flour to thicken. I have some turkey broth that is concentrated and comes in little tubes that I can use if I need to add that to get more gravy.

We do not do a lot of fancy foods for Thanksgiving. My mom doesn't much like to cook. SIL has rediscovered baking but also doesn't much like to cook. We had salad and a lot of raw vegetables in addition to the turkey. SIL made some sort of gluten free pie, but I can't remember the specifics of that. I don't eat dessert so I didn't pay much attention to it.

My mom had some sort of rolls for the others and I brought some tapioca rolls for my daughter. I just put hers directly on her plate so there is no issue of CC.

This year I think I am going to try the Namaste Blonde Brownies with added pumpkin for a dessert. It's getting more and more to where we don't eat much in the way of desserts, even on special occasions. Too many diabetics in the family and/or people who need to lose weight. Our meals are actually pretty simple.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
