Mn State Fair 2012

It's getting to be that time again, and this will be my first year at the fair gluten free.

I've read all the back-posts and all the info I could find via Google, and I know that Northland Celiacs put out a list (which will be my first stop) of gluten free options. I'm also aware that the corn is safe, but I can't just eat corn all day :)

- well I could, but I'd rather not.

What I'm wondering is what have people actually tried and not gotten cc'd from? I'm having trouble believeing that getting footlong w/out the but wouldn't result in a bunch of problems.

Also does anyone know if the fresh cut french fries are safe? They don't seem to show up on any of the lists. That's all they do there so I would think they're ok, but you never know.

Thank you!

I'm hoping more people respond to this one. We're headed to the MN State Fair next weekend with our newly diagnosed 9-yr-old (who LOVES the corn, but I'm hoping there's more).

Does Northland Celiacs have a booth at the Fair? Or is the list on-line somewhere?

I'm one of the biggest fair fans you'll ever meet, but this is my first year going gluten-free :( I'm hoping people will report back here, too.

I got nervous about my gluten-free fair experience, so I used Northland Celiac's 2012 list to make a google map of all the gluten-free fair food. I intend to update it as I go through the fair if I find anything else that belongs on it:

Northland Celiac does have a booth, in the Kare11 Health Building. They usually put their list online before the fair (as far as I know it isn't up yet). I think they also keep copies at the booth.

Hello! This is my 3rd Minnesota State Fair being Gluten Free, though I missed last year. I have never gotten CC'ed, but never chose the options where it seemed likely to have that happen. There are gluten free (Udi's bun and all!!!) Chicago Style or State Fair Style Hot Dogs this year!!! And some gluten free Risotto Poppers! Yum! I cannot wait to try them. I stick to some kind of pickle thing...it's a pickle wrapped with cheese and prusciutto (sp?) or ham or something. I forget where it is...the building has a giant pickle on it haha. There is always the corn! And the milk stand lol. The northland celiacs site is where I have always gotten all my info, but haven't gotten to it yet. Good luck and have fun!!!

Yes! And if you stop by the booth and talk to them, in the past anyway, they have a wheel to spin for some coupons! And they generally hand out coupons any way I think. I had forgotten about it, so thanks for posting this!

Here's a map of all the foods on the Northland Celiac list, plus any that I am able to independently track down:

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
