  1. New Zealand, or Aotearoha, land of the long white cloud.
  2. Now that's what I call resourceful
  3. Last night we had hub's meat loaf - he makes the BEST durned meatloaf!! Would get his recipe, but then he'd make me make it
  4. Since it's summer here, I made rice paper "summer" rolls: slaw of cabbage and carrots with commercial feta/garlic dressing; sushi rice, spears of cucumber, avocado, goat feta cheese, julienne of carrots, green onions, snow pea sprouts for hubs and watercress for me, along with shrimp. Yum. Super healthy! I used the feta dressing for dipping sauce,...
  5. Canola oil is a rather controversial product. Does it come from the 'canola' plant? No, it comes from the genetically modified rapeseed plant and the name stands for Canada Oil. You can make up your own mind about the product. I prefer to use grapeseed oil rather than rapeseed oil. Do a google on it.
  6. Hi youslypoots, and welcome to the forum. What's done is done and you can't go back on that. Let's move forward and get you off what was causing you to take them in the first place. That has the best chance of preventing you from getting cancers. It's just like with smoking (I was a smoker) - you can't take back all those years of smoking, but you...
  7. We are having typical Kiwi fare - roast rolled forequarter of lamb (actually, I do it Italian style - potroast with white wine and rosemary and garlic, very un-Kiwi), with roast veg - sweet potato, parsnip, onion, squash and probably will do some chard from the garden if I get back out there.
  8. I already have - a very individual one I think we all need our own cook books
  9. Hey Mushroom! Hoping you and I will get to connect quite a bit through this forum, as I'm suspecting I have lectin problems and this forum is ALL I HAVE when it comes to people who can help me. For the record, I have celiac disease with bad GI problems and gluten ataxia, plus other stuff. Thanks for your positive posts here! I look forward to knowing you better!!

  10. Think I will do something like this: Leek and Swiss Chard Soup "Zuppa di Porri e Bietole" (Serves 4) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 leeks, white and light green parts, cut into 1/2-inch slices 8 ounces Swiss chard, cut into 1- inch pieces 6 cups chicken stock 1/2 cup Arborio rice Salt and pepper 1/4 cup grated Parmesan...
  11. I luuuve parsnips. Cooking up some 24 hour chicken broth right now with the rest of the chicken (fried chicken breast picnic style on Friday night, braised legs and things Saturday night, carcass and wings into the soup pot yesterday. Lots of leeks and carrots and onions and celery with the leaves on. Think I am going to turn it into a chard soup, and freeze...
  12. I don't blame him I wouldn't eat any of those veggies either no matter how well they was hidden and no matter what enticements were offered No offense intended to the veggies or the mom who offered them. Maybe he knows they are not good for him????
  13. Just found blue cod on sale at the supermarket, so fresh, so delish. only $5.00 - all we had with it was lemon (for DH), asparagus, and baked yam. It was wonderful. Could eat that every night if it wasn't normally so damnably expensive. They must be expecting a big shipment in on Friday Mebee I'll go back??
  14. Pot roast with onions, carrots, home-made 48 hour beef stock; yorkshire pudding (no, not my idea, hub wants to try - good luck!! - he's got better creds than I do - taught by his Welsh nana, my mom never made it) and broccoli.
  15. Pork chops with sauteed apples, and onion marmalade, baked sweet potato, swiss chard and green salad both from the garden
  16. Microwave reheated some barbecued butterflied leg of lamb in an Orgran gravy mix, with some reheated Parsnip/cabbage Colcannon, and a microwave jacket potato setting yam. which is another way of saying leftovers with a yam
  17. Hi Mushroom~ Did going gluten-free help your RA? I have RA, too - my dd has the celiac disease. I told her I'd go gluten-free with her. :)

  18. Tennisman, I did not do an elimination diet to figure out my intolerances, but it certainly is the easiest and quickest way. Narrow your food choices way down to things you know don't bother you, and then one at a time, every 3-4 days, add in something that you think could be a problem. If you react, take it out and test it again some other time. Reaction...
  19. It's interesting that those are all places (except fingers) that I get psoriasis, and the psoriasis on my scalp drives me the craziest (unless my heels really flare up and I have real pain when walking)
  20. If you have had blood testing and biopsy, there is nothing preventing you from going on the gluten free diet to see if it works for you. And I mean a strict trial of the diet, not just not eating bread or pasta. I mean ferreting out all the hidden gluten in scrips and OTC meds, in personal care products. I mean not using cookware that is contaminated with...
  21. Those darned blood tests have caused more suffering on this earth than I would care to quantify. Just so you know, they are not infallible. There is a 20% (at least) false negative rate on those tests. And the doctors not only don't tell you that, but they don't tell you that it would be a good idea to give the gluten-free diet a good three-month trial...
  22. Quinoa is one of the high-lectin grains. Gliadin in wheat is a lectin. There are lectins in corn and soy and peanuts. If you happen to be lectin sensitive you can react to any or all of these things. For me it is all, plus some others. So you might just consider that you have sensitized yourself to the quinoa lectin. Or it might be something else entirely...
  23. So sorry you got glutened. Weddings are hard.... but yes, definitely if something has croutons mixed in it's a no-no whether you eat the croutons or not. Also unidentified sauces are really dangerous. But we have to have these learning experiences to teach us what to avoid in the future. Sauces and marinades will get you most often, also processed foods with...
  24. :) You're so nice!!!
  25. Well, no.... yours is the first I have heard of. Usually we discover others...
