If you're going..I'm going too Sylvia! I'll help you shovel. :D

:lol: Man, how I would love that! So would my husband. Shoveling and using the snow blower are not his favourite activities from a long stressful day at work.

I'll get a snow blower!

Funny. :lol: We already have one. I'll let you know when the big blizzards hit - so far we've just had normal snowfall. Sometimes the drifts are so high we have to shovel out of the house and walk on top of the drifts! Fun for kids but not for us.

Sounds like Sylvia will be inside taste-testing the cookies while the "kids" are out taking care of the walkways.

:P She and I will be baking and cooking up a storm inside where it is nice and cozy. We also have a huge driveway that needs to be taken care of...any volunteers? I promise to feed you yummy stuff! :)

I want in, but sadly, I cannot shovel either.

I can pour beverages and set the table, however. :)

And that is just the kind of thing I need! Someone I can order around. Hee hee! :P

She'll probably at least make me keep all the dirty dishes washed while she cooks up a storm. :lol:

You guessed it! Sometimes I cook so much I must do the dishes several times in one day. I have a dishwasher but don't have time to wait for it! :lol:

As I will be on your home turf, I will do your bidding ;)

I'm like a pet, feed me & I'm yours.

I always wanted a snow plow! I'll get a tractor with the plow attachment.

I do recall that conversation! The offer is still valid if you like! There is fresh snow just waiting for you to shovel. :P

I wonder how many people you've said could come and live with you! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Edit: I think we hijacked this thread. Hopefully the OP has gotten some good ideas of what to cook.

Not sure how many but I think you were the first!! :lol:

Just thought of something else to add to the list of food ideas - a pizza party! You could make a few crusts in advance and have people add their own toppings (if your grandparents go for that sort of thing). I think it could be fun!

And for dessert maybe you could have an ice cream bar with lots of toppings including chocolate, a couple of sauces, toasted nuts, fruit...

I love to cook and I am working to make my favs gluten free. Here is one of our all time favorites that is a crowd pleaser. AND it is so easy.

Open Original Shared Link

Depending on your part of the country, you may not be able to get flank steak. You can use this marinade with chicken or pork loin too. It is so good.

I use Tamari instead of soy and voila! Make sure you slice it against the grain.

I serve with rice (or roasted potatoes) and grilled asparagus.

Let me know if any of you try it or have questions.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
