    K, Don't know if I can truly get it as I'm the one with the disease, but hey, good intentions on your part. That never occurred to us. I'm the grocery shopper and the cook, so I make toast, flour tacos (corn for me), rolls, get pizza, all kinds of gluten foods for my darling wife (looky there I spelled it out - no silliness here, yeah right, lol...

    An unfortunate serendipitous coincidence to the Celiac condition we all have found ourselves a part of. Coincidence, as in an unbelievable amount of attention in the media to the ingredient "wheat gluten", as it relates to the single thing that most represents our disease. Of course we all know it's not the wheat gluten per se that is the problem, but...

    Yes RiceGuy, I would agree with you on that (though I do tend to make a big production of it). Something else we could probably agree is easy to make, Campbell's canned tomato soup. Yet two people have called me to ask how to make it. One of my daughters, and my stepson. They had never made it when living at home, I always did I guess. Then when they moved...

    OK, I started out a little strong perhaps. C

    Hey Tiff, I'm really interested in this Montina flour. There's not much out there about it, very little in all my gluten-free books, and nobody in my celiac support group has used it (at least the ones that were at the meeting when I asked about it, including a gluten-free cookbook author that was selling her new book). I've got just about every kind...

    That sounds really yummy MD. Will have to try that. Haven't tried a gluten-free pie crust yet. My wife makes something she calls hobo dinner (I think it's actually a variation of sheperds pie). No crust, she puts the seasoned cooked ground beef on the bottom of a casserole dish, then corn or black eyed peas, or even both - one on one side & one on...

    Yes dear hathor, I was very aware of the other thread. That's why I couldn't stand idly by and do nothing all the while the forum was being hijacked by the chocolate girls! Actually, it was an ill timed attempt at facetiousness (on a scale of one to ten, about a seven). yours truly, lm

    Thank you but I pretty much think the Bag 'O Gluten is dead, I killed it. Sorry, just my misguided idea of levity. I'm not personally knowlageable about fancy chocolate. Although I did recently try some of the new dark chocolate products showing up in the regular stores. Thought they were really tasty. best regards, lm p.s., Think I better go mow the...

    alison h, Chicken feet gelatine - yum! If you can get fresh chicken feet all the better. Helps out the farmer too, keeps the chickens from running around after he cuts off their heads. I can't wait for the Easter Day dinner conversation. "This gravy is delicious, I've got to get the recipe". "It's nothing really, just your normal OX Tail & Chicken...

    sol, I think about 200 million people disagree with you (and that's just in the US). The Salty Snack Industry is one of the largest there is. Why? Salty snacks taste good. And there's calories, fat, sodium, and protein. That's nutrition (maybe not the best but it does have nutritional value, otherwise all the values on the label would be zeros). Hate to...

    We have four pet food products for Phoebe in our house, all dry. 1) Her food, Authority dry mini-chunks, a petsmart brand that contains no wheat ingredients (also no animal digest by-products). No Wheat Gluten. Product of USA. 2) Wholemeals (a healthy happy way every day), formerly called mealbones, these are bone shaped chewey meal/food replacements....

    Hey Paula, First off, what kind do you want to make? I've only made gluten-free gravy a few times, the brown non-cream type (actually it was brown because it was beef or pork roast gravy and I use a lot of seasonings on my meat). Here's how I used to make it. I would start with a package gravy added to my drippings and water (or chicken broth if...

    larry mac replied to a topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    JK, I'm so glad you asked that. When I first started here, I too wondered and was reluctant to ask because I felt I should already know or be able to figure it out and would sound really dumb. Well, now I feel dumb and dumber. I had deduced that it was daughter, son, and husband ( I have been on here almost three months). But I always thought it meant...

    Hi Kate, Don't know where WDW is, but I would recommend finding a Whole Foods store (or similar health food specialty grocery). They will have a good selection of gluten-free breakfast cereals, and probably the beer. Also, if you know the zip code try: Open Original Shared Link Have a nice visit. best regards, lm

    Dear Tiff, What's this chocolate tasting on Thursdays at work all about? Is this something I should be doing? I've never heard of the chocolates you speak about. How do you select them? Thank you. best regards, lm

    Now it's Iams Pet food (including some Eukanuba pet food). Found to contain an unapproved substance, Chromium Tripicolinate. The FDA says it speeds up metabolism for overweight dogs & cats and is not available on store shelves but could damage DNA and cause tumors in pets ( I would assume this means it's by prescription only but darn I've been burned...

    Hi Peter, I second the thanks for being our pet food "business" representative. As a lab technician in several industries (never medical though) I think I know just enough to recognize some of the stuff they're putting out about the laboratory search for the toxin. It's quite an endeavor, encompassing many different private, governmental, and quasi-governmental...

    h, My Dad and I went to the Dallas Home and Garden Show last month and there was a Kahlua booth. It was a pretty nice one too, large with palm trees and sofas, like a tropical lounge. They were making a drink that had Kahlua (of course), cream (I think it was half & half), a little chocolate syrup, and ice. Blended in a mixer. I was unsure if...

    I use to add vital wheat gluten to my bread all the time. Was one of the many things I had to dispose of three months ago. I'm finding that it's important to keep in mind that wheat is not "bad" or "evil" to normal people. It is to us of course, but we are an extremely small group. I had never even heard of Celiac Disease prior to last December. By...

    Sorry Suzie, I misinterpeted your post. Boy, that's so easy to do (for me anyways). best regards, lm

    lw, That's funny, I can't even get mold to grow on my bread! best regards, lm
