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

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
