    Yum. I'm going to try it.

    That sounds good... do you let the rice get cold before you pour the milk on it or do you eat it hot? p.s. I like the new Rice Chex. At first they bothered my stomach a teensy bit, but I think I got used to them because they don't bother me any more.

    I'm in Colombia right now and I have a really bad cough so I stopped in at a pharmacy to see if I could get some cough drops. They didn't have anything that looked familiar to me, so I asked the pharmacist for help (using my VERY broken spanish). He gave me something called Noraver garganta, and it's a pill that you dissolve in water and then drink. There...

    LOVE IT!!! I'm totally getting cereal next time I'm there!

    Strongbow cider is my favorite! (but I agree that Woodchuck is good too.) ...and it comes in a bottle so you don't stand out when everyone else is drinking beer.

    Yeah, I'm kind of over Comfort too... she's AMAZING at her own style, but I don't think she's as versatile as the other girls. I'm kind of hoping that Twitch wins the whole thing.

    I've also switched to pure maple syrup because there's less to worry about, but I used to LOVE Log Cabin when I was younger! Thanks for the heads up.

    LOVE IT!!! I especially like all the routines that Mia Michaels choreographs. I was really bummed when Kherington got kicked off 2 weeks ago, though. When she and Twitch were partners, they were by far my favorite pair.

    Wow, I haven't heard that before but it worries me because I LOVE coffee... Do you know which companies use flour?

    Success! Thank you very much.

    Hi! I am trying to upload a photo for my profile, and I've tried several different photos, and I get this message each time: "The upload failed. Please contact a board administrator." How do I make it work? Thanks!

    I ate at Abuelo's while in College Station, Texas last month. I wasn't in an explaining mood so I just told the waitress I have allergies and special ordered cheese quesadillas on corn tortillas (my back-up at all Mexican restaurants). It turned out great. They put an extra layer of cheese on top of them, so they were super intense and delicious and I...

    Hi! I was diagnosed during my senior year in college, and I was really sad about it too -- I got to the point where staying home and watching reruns on MTV for 7 hours a day seemed like a better option than having to hear one more drunk frat boy tell me he'd die without beer. BUT I just wanted to tell you that it gets better. I'm 24 now (out of...

    ARCHIVED Kissing

    Laurad- replied to margiemakes's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    If I kiss my boyfriend when he's been drinking beer, I have a definite reaction. So now we have a deal that he has to brush his teeth before we kiss, and I don't have any problems, so I think that just brushing is enough for me.

    ARCHIVED Starbucks

    Laurad- posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    The chicks at celiacchicks.com made a post today about voting for gluten-free pastry options at Starbucks. I think it would be amazing to get to eat pastries there again... Here's the link to the Starbucks website where you can vote: Open Original Shared Link You have to sign up for a starbucks.com account, but it only takes a couple seconds and it...

    Thanks for the tortilla info, Ezme, and also the notebook idea sounds like a good one!
  17. Laurad-
    Thanks for the info... do you think I need to worry about flour being in any of the tortillas, or do you think they're always made with corn?
  18. Laurad-
    Wow, Ezme, THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! All of this is so helpful, especially the stuff in Spanish because I really am serious about learning. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Hi! I'm from Denver and I've never been to Zengo... I'm totally going to try it out next time I'm in town! Thanks for the post. p.s. Vesta just might be my favorite place in the whole wide world.

    I'll be going to a different city every week from June to December, so I'll get to go pretty much everywhere, including Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, etc. I'm so excited to see so many new places! And I just thought of something else: You know the list of "forbidden" ingredients that's on the celiac...

    I just found out that I'll be traveling around Central and South America for 7 months this year (for my job) and I'm VERY excited but also pretty nervous about eating there gluten-free. I don't even speak spanish (but I'm going to try to learn)! Have any of you ever been there? (Or are any of you from there?) Do you know what sort of things I can order...
  22. Laurad-
    Have you been to Vesta Dipping Grill yet? It's in LoDo (lower downtown Denver) and they have a gluten free menu and ridiculously good food.
  23. Laurad-
    Do you have a Jamba Juice near you? They have an "all fruit" variety of smoothie that has no dairy and a whole lot of calories. (Watch out for the free boosts that they put in them, though, as most of them contain oat bran. I always get the protein boost because I know it's safe, but that might be made of soy.)
  24. Laurad-
    Holy cow, that's great news! That used to be my favorite restaurant before I went gluten-free, and now I'm super excited to go back!! Thanks for the info.

    Hi Everyone! I'm going on tour with Disney on Ice! I'll be in each city for a week, living in hotel rooms, and I'd like to avoid eating in restaurants as much as possible. Hopefully my rooms will have those little mini bar fridges, but there definately won't be kitchens. I'm going to bring a hot pot, though, I think. So... those are the facts. Can...
