I think he thinks we're being juveniles right now... :lol: .but I don't care. You made me laugh...and I needed that, so thanks! xx

love2!!!! I was wondering where you were, nice to see you :)

 

I wonder who might want to thief this one?

Wow! Nice to be missed. When I am out at the acreage, I bring about 20,906,452 books and read my face off. Just me, Snowflake the cat and Cooper the dog, a stunning log house, trillions of birds and gazillions of trees. Oh, and 452,009,785,478 mosquitoes happily buzzing around my face and prancing around my eyeballs.

I knew you went into the countryside, but I was not sure how husg you'd be gone this time....how's Bingley doing? missing Momma?

 

I love Bolognese...mmmmm

Bingley *is* missing his Mommy but my tender-hearted husband is working from home to bond and take care of him. Or, as my husband says, "gotch and socks with my boy". Guys. Are. Weird. Bingley loves to wrestle. I just don't do it right!

He is adorable..... the man and the dog.

 

and you,  you are not at all prone to hyperbole are you?   :lol: can't be THAT many skeeters....then again, I never figured there could be that much snow until you described it.

They really are adorable. I am blessed, but so are they to have me! Insert cute laughing emoticon here...

Actually, I missed a mosquito when I was counting. I was too busy drooling over my Bolognese to count properly. At least several drowned in my saliva. That helped a bit.

Does it really even get warm enough for mosquitoes there? :P

 

I just wandered in the door from working all afternoon, evening and night. Screw chicken whatever for dinner. I'm eating that pig because I have about as much energy as a half dead slug and cooking is not on my list of crap to do. Beyond that, I am mentally exhausted. Ugh!

Good Morning Addie!!!

 

Hoping a good night sleep restored you -- that sounded peppy -- lol -- I am not -- long week and this gal is not used to doing so much in the evening -- was in bed by 7pm last night and today is starting creaky -- but will get better -- a little birdie told me more of the dinner crowd is hurting pretty badly today -- let's all get better -- after all it is....

 

Happy Friday!?!?!??  maybe  -- there now I steal more than smileys -- got that 'little' whispering trick from MW :)

kareng Grand Master

Well... I feel good....Haven't even had any coffee.  Off to Yoga!  I have been meaning to post some of our dinner things but never do.  Maybe later?

GottaSki Mentor

yoga - great idea -- going to do a few moves here and then call my gal to sign up for tomorrow - that'll get things moving! Food -- hmmm I'll post later ;)

Eight am phone calls from clients in panic to wake me up? Yeah, sure, why the hell not? Vet at 11 for sick cat. Dentist at 12:30 for pain. I should have been to the dentist on Wednesday but I blocked off most of the week for this huge project due.

 

Tomorrow is the GIG gluten free fair in Utah, and lucky me it is in my city. I don't think I would have the stamina at this point to bother with it if it were more than half an hour away. I'm supposed to meet up with my best friend at some point tomorrow afternoon after that. Then there is the city carnival to go to tomorrow night too. I wanted to go tonight but my husband is working until 9 and won't get home until they're packing it in for the night.

 

Today I am feeding my husband leftover ham again. I may very well end up with a burger, fries and shake. :ph34r:

GottaSki Mentor

In and Out -- it's what a Hamburger is all about :)

 

gluten-free Fair will be fun -- at least good freebies and coupons!!!

GottaSki Mentor

Not sure what is for dinner...but know what one item will be on Sunday -- my Dad loves crabcakes -- found this on my FunnyPage this morning -- someone copied and pasted so not sure to whom to give credit....

 

"FOR ALL YOU CRAB CAKE LOVERS!! HERE YA GO!! YES!
MARYLAND CRAB CAKES:

INGREDIENTS:
1 large egg
2½ tablespoons mayonnaise (I like Hellman’s Real)
1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard (I like Maille brand)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup finely diced celery (you’ll need one stalk)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 pound lump crab meat*
½ cup panko (I like the Whole Foods 365 brand for this recipe)
Canola oil

DIRECTIONS:
1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Combine the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, Old Bay, salt, celery, and parsley in a large bowl and mix well. Add the crab meat (be sure to check the meat for any hard and sharp cartilage) and panko; gently fold mixture together until just combined, being careful not to shred the crab meat. Shape into 6 crab cakes (about ½ cup each) and place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Preheat a large nonstick pan to medium heat and coat with canola oil. When oil is hot, place crab cakes in pan and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Be careful as oil may splatter. Serve immediately with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon.

Quick Tartar Sauce

Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
1½ tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Those look positively awesome! Crab cakes were always one of my favorite things too. I can almost imagine myself making those.

Adalaide Mentor

I had to make a difficult decision this afternoon. I could frivolously spend money on either In N Out or I could blow it on a pedi. Guess who is making her own burgers with killer awesome pink toenails? :D

notme Experienced

oh.  my.  bob.  those crabcakes are food porn..  we should start a thread:  'gluten-free food porn - don't feel sorry for us!!'  

 

addie:  it is a well known fact that i just made up people with pink toenails make the best burgers  ;)  

Adalaide Mentor

So, today is Summerfest. This means that there is a huge carnival on Center Street in the middle of the city making driving a horrible nightmare. Lucky me I only live 8 blocks away. Woohoo! So, off to that this afternoon sometime for tornado fries and who knows what else that I shouldn't be eating/drinking.

 

Then a late evening dinner at Wallaby's I think. Hubs got a gift card for there from the gluten free fair today. I drive past there pretty often but always think gee, I wish I had stopped in back when it mattered... but whats the point now? I can't go out to a BBQ joint gluten free. So we get home and I look them up to see a 95% gluten free menu! I called and can't have the sauce cause of MSG and soy but so what? I'm still dying to go! I'll have the meat with the dry rub which I'm sure is still amazingly delicious.

 

I've worn myself to a thread this week. I'm nursing the beginning edge of a summer cold, and possibly an ear infection to go with it. (joy <_< ) I got my period yesterday, cause I'm sure everyone cares.  I'm sure that the histamines in the samples I tried this morning are near to hitting me soon, plus I'm going to be out in the sun this afternoon. And yet, I just am on top of the world.

 

Oh, and btw... it isn't just pink toenails. I have fancy nail art too. B)

notme Experienced

oh, yeah, dinner:

 

italian sausage w/tomato 'gravy' in the crockpot

green salad (for him, lettuce is being mean to me :(  )

RAVIOLI (my sister loves me - brought me a bag from nj - elisa <? tested and all!)

 

last night was ruebens, pot cheese, pickles

 

night before:  more oysters -  seriously i got to quit this, ahi tuna w/pickled ginger, green onions & wasaaaaaaaaabi <tried for the first time in years and IT'S GOOD!  i have finally perfected my oysters - pancetta, shallots, garlic, pernod, oyster liquid, heavy cream, and spinach.  top with breadcrumbs mixed with olive oil and asiago cheese - i swear i am gonna stop !  tomorrow!   ^_^ 

IrishHeart Veteran

Great news, I  can almost use my right hand again. Turns out the rapidly spreading horrid pain I developed on Thursday started spreading to my arm, neck, then my foot and up my leg. Then, my right lower back/near buttock was burny..so, I use a hand mirror to look backwards at myself in the mirror--not easy checking your self out back there...and I've got a good sized tick bite Bullseye rash going.

 

Aha..... that explains the creeping paralysis and throbbing digits....country living whoohoo!

Have to take the dreaded antibiotics for 14 days (no choice) and so my appetite is off. Plus, I feel kind of weird.

SKI..crab cakes look drooly good

Addy enjoy your toes and the food fair

MW look what you started

Arlene....please pass the oysters. 

 

Dinner is probably going to be whatever the hubs can whip up easily. I marinated the chicken for him at least.

Going to rest now. ANTIBees make me feel like yuck. 

Adalaide Mentor

I should just come live with you. Ruebens sound amazing. Okay, so I shouldn't eat fermented things but... omg sauerkraut!!! (I also spelled that right without spellchecker so hah!) I'll take a pass on the oysters and wasabi though.

GottaSki Mentor

Doh.....was all set to hop back in my lil pool to float but thot I'd check what's for dinner and now I am drooling over oysters being served 3000 miles away and swatting my poor kindle!!! Actually thought a bug got under the glass Cuz I'm outside and feeling a bit of the ebbys all day thanks one tick that bit my buddy and bedbugs discovered in the apt next to sis today while I was on a MoveOut preinspection....creepy crawlys go away!

So this morning started off s$#&ty when happy hubs woke up with a severe case of the grumps -- so I rode his/my bike a bit longer as I knew his primary bike is in the shop -- gave him time to understand he woke in a bad mood....all good now.

Last night we had spaghetti with some yummy crockpot sauce I let simmer all day --- it had herbs from my patio that I have not killed yet - in fact they are thriving!

Tonight is bbq chicken with baked beans - the simple bushes/maple syrup/red onion topped with bacon ones and corn for the guys...zucchini for me.

Almost talked myself outran the crab cakes....as I was being grumpy as I cannot do crab....buy picked up the ingrediants today...hope mine turn out close to that picture -- should make the three dads over here tomorrow happy :)

Edited....damn kindle turned s$#&ty to shifty.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
    • growlinhard1
      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.

      My mom said when he was born "you got what you gave".  Until 5 years of he was gluten free, was well liked by his friends, although did get them into mischief at times, a leader of his group of friends, physically active and paid attention, as much as any preschooler.      At 5 years old we moved to my hometown and had to rely on our friends, my pediatrition (still the best doctor I ever had), my wife was a nurse so her aquaintences and doctor friends.  They all still believed back in 1980's that Celiac was a growing phase, and he wanted to be like everyone else.  So everyone's opinion was that if he tolerates gluten with no symptoms he had outgrown it.  He passed the summer at the beach (lots of vitamin D) was a prodegy swimmer and the whole team liked him and he fit in well.     Fall came, he started kindergarden school, less sun ( low vitamin D, Seasonal Affective Disorder is real), new people and a morning schedule that did not end up in a fun, active day at the beach.  Getting him going got more difficult.  By the first teacher-parent meeting in December, they brought up the subject.  He was disruptive in class.  By then we had forgotten what his doctor said 5 years earlier.  So he was diagnosed as ADHD.      Competitive swimming was his saving grace.  All though High School he continued to swim with his competetive team most days after or before school and with the beach club team in addition in the summer.  Some records he set lasted years.  After high school he became a professional ocean guard. Now getting close to retirement.  But always had difficulty concentrating on schoolwork.      He, and his wife, incidentally, is now having the health problems that I just have just gotten rid of.  I had forgotten what the doctor said to us 60 years earlier, bout Celiac Disease being hereditory.  He is starting to listen, but still in denial.  Loves his pizza.  At 63 I had arthritis, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, enlarged prostate, alcoholism and I got dumber as the years passed.  They all are gone with gluten free and vitamin replenishment. My wife had allergies, endometriosis, fertility problems and miscarriages.  She passed 18 years ago. Sorry for the long story.  Reminds me of a Joni Mitchell song.  "L've looked at life from both sides now. From win and lose, but still somehow, it's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life, at all"

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.
