I think you could get your initial, too.  I wish it were red as that is the color of gluten-free in our house.

That's a really cool idea, I just wish it wasn't glass. I have one glass cutting board I bought on the premise that it couldn't get CC'd and I can't stand the sound of cutting on it.  :ph34r: It's beautiful though, and a great gift for people who like glass cutting boards, shared house or not.  :)

kareng Grand Master

The cutting boards are only $24 with the discount code.  FYI. 

 

Last night we had - grilled pork chops, black rice with some parm on top, seasoned with a little garlic and onion powder and basil olive oil, salad, homemade applesauce, brownies with ganache and raspberries and champagne.

I am still seriously considering a cutting board at that price. Just... not for me. My Grammy's kitchen has always been blue everything and our family has always been quite proud of our name. So a blue monogrammed cutting board sounds like a splendid gift if I can check my Christmas budget and see what's what. I just honestly hadn't thought much about Christmas yet.  :ph34r:

 

Sounds like last night was pork night and apple night. We're having the rest of our pork roast tonight, at least that's my plan. I'm not home to see if my husband gets into it for lunch or not. If he does I'm sure I'll manage to come up with something else.

I made Thai Chicken soup today, very spicy.  It was total yum..  Snuck in a lot of veggies that the  Irish sidekick wouldn't normally eat, like bok choy and peppers, peas besides the normal veggies.  Had it with Wally World rice.

Not much time to cook anything extravagant tonight so I made spicy roasted butternut squash, carrot and poblano soup with a drizzle of pumpkinseed oil. That's it!

I am in the process of cooking my first gluten free pizza!! I am using Bloomfield Farms dough mix with olives, gluten-free sausage, and mushrooms! I am beyond excited!

You make "that's it" sound positively drool-worthy.

 

We scored some bogo Malibu pre-seasoned chicken breasts at the store last night. Baked those with garlic taters. I also got some Udi's blueberry muffins on sale after I went out to vote today so that's dessert with a cup of milk.

Last night I made grilled pork chops, green beans, and red potatoes sliced up and baked with some parmesean and garlic on them.  Yummm!

 

Tonight I heated up my chicken broccoli rice cheesy casserole I made and froze last time I made it.  I love making my own frozen "stouffers meals" for when I need them!

Had a need for Junk Food.  Prepared Cincinnati Style  frozen ( S K Y L I N E) chili from Publix over corn pasta with an obscene amount of chopped onions and melted cheese.  Just  what the junk food dr. ordered.

Hey Love2,

 

Remember you mentioned Maple Butter the other day?  I would really love the know how to make it.  And I have my new waffle iron in hand, now I'm all ready for when Irish gets back and I get her recipe for waffles.

 

It's breakfast for dinner here tonight.   Yummmmmm.

 

Thanks,

Tonight's dinner at Casa de Itchy:

Squash soup with sage

Bacon-y roasted cauliflower

Big Salad, per usual

 

Comfort food for this rainy day. :)

I wrote alfredo on my dinner planner. (I'm trying out ways to be responsible, not sure if I'm a fan.) I don't do alfredo for a variety of reasons, so I'm going to do plain old spaghetti. It's easy since I'll be cooking pasta anyway and tomatoes just don't do me in the way a huge hit of parmesan will.

 

I'm about ready to crash for the day and it's only 4:30! I still have to do dishes (because I was skipped yesterday, caught up in housework) and find energy to actually cook dinner. Life has been about 1000% more hectic than usual and I've just been running myself ragged and I need to stop. Hopefully Friday is the last day of eventfulness and life can return to the mundane that I'm more accustomed to.

Hi! You are going to have such fun with your waffle maker. I believe it is the little things that can really elevate a dish. All you do is blend soft butter with a glug or generous drizzle of maple syrup and blend well (or even do it in a mixer). Then add some ground chipotle chile or just buy it already ground. Just a shake or two. Or leave it out and just use the maple butter which, by the way, is lovely with a vanilla bean. I make all sorts of butters and sauces for pancakes such as butter rum which is yum. For your tum. Just don't use gum. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Yes, I'm learning that these smaller details make a big difference.  I'm excited to make the butter.  Does it matter if the butter is salted or not salted?  And will a drop of vanilla extract work instead of a bean?

 

Thanks,

Much better, thank you! A good night's rest and a calm day today are just what the doctor ordered to clear out the funks. :)

Ooh! I'm in the market for a waffle iron. What brand did you get? Is it Belgian style or regular?

GF Lover Rising Star

Abbs,

 

I got a Rival.  I chose regular as opposed to Belgium because I like waffles a bit firmer, crisper instead of doughy.  If you get one ask Irish for her waffle recipe.  She told me I would love it.

Yes, vanilla extract would be fine. If you want, you can drizzle in agave syrup instead of maple. The only limit is your imagination! Orange juice and zest is lovely, too. Heck - whip in some pumpkin puree with a bit of cinnamon. You can also infuse honeys with flavour. Salted butter may be a touch salty BUT in this case, a bit of salt would be nice. I sprinkle my chocolate chip cookies and fudge brownies with salt. Soooooooo good.

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.
    • Scott Adams
      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
