If someone would have told me that going gluten free lifestyle would have meant to forge a new kind of seducer

I have to admit, that is deffinately a good one. I never thought of using celiac as an ice breaker.

I don't know if this is a good thing but I kinda launched a new trend. Since that evening all my friends pretend to be celiac when they go approaching a lady. Paradoxically now being celiac is cool :P.

BTW, tomorrow she'll come for dinner. Someone has suggestions for some romantic recipe? gluten-free, of course :D

The romantic menu will depend on your finances and culinary skill. A grilled steak,potato & salad (all gluten free) is always good, and a very masculine menu.

Lobster, grilled fish anything. A lady LOVES to be cooked for.

I hope y'all both have a good time!

In case you didn't "get" the recipe (I didn't at first) you are supposed to cut the corner off the bag and pipe the cream cheese/chocolate mixture onto the strawberries (I think??)

Yep, that's how the plastic bag works. Just snip a tiny end off one of the bottom corners. Then twist the top and squeeze the chocolate onto the strawberries. Easy and most excellent.

That truly is the goofiest, yet best pick up line I've ever heard. Great story!

Good luck with the dinner. The fact that you are cooking at all is a huge plus! My husband is only capable of making macaroni and cheese, and I still married him. If he had made me a steak dinner I would have probably fainted. :lol: I don't even allow him near the grill during a barbecue.

I LOVE the way you write by the way.

Oh my gosh, I want to read more of your writings! You are tremendous. As a retired teacher & a writer for many years, I must say that your story is of the A+ goldseal standard. And to think that you got a date with this girl! Give yourself a pat on the back. She is definitely blessed too, being invited to a dinner that you have prepared yourself. Maybe thinking about your favorite foods would help, if you have no idea about what her food preferences are, because you've probably made your favorite foods many times, and that would cut down on the thinking, and the preparation and cooking time.

Are you having candles, flowers & music, and what are you serving to drink? For women, the setting that we experience as we walk in is so important. Soft lighting also helps, and anything that helps you both relax. All these extras, apart from the delicious meal you will be serving, help to create a magical evening.

I must say, you are, indeed, a special man to be doing this. I'm sure we are all waiting to read about any questions you have, any help or suggestions you need, or anything we can do to help. I will check back again to see if you've posted. Best wishes! Welda

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Please read the original post--they are looking for a gluten and milk-free treat to replace Tootsie Rolls for their child who loves Tootsie Rolls, but can no longer have them due to a dairy issue--they are not looking for M&M's.

      They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative.

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.
