  1. I miss going to our neighborhood bar and having a beer with our friends. (a mixed drink just isn't the same, and in the middle of the afternoon it seems rather hard-core drinker)) Also I miss sharing in the bar food on the table. Even though I don't mind Redbridge, no bars or restaurants around here offer it.

    Other things I really miss:

    Fried shrimp Po boy

    gumbo

    Popeye's chicken

    All things commercially fried

  2. I called and talked to the manager. He went over thye steps that they take to assure safety, and I do realize that sometimes accidents happen. He promised to talk to the staff again about the importance of keeping food strictly separate.

    I will try again. I had eaten there before with no problem.

  3. Yesterday I ate from the gluten free menu at P F Chang's. I had their version of General Tso's chicken (can't remember what they called it) Within two hours I realized something was very wrong.

    I had not eaten anything except frpm my own gluten free kitchen for several days, so I'm sure that was the source.

    Has anyone else had a problem there?

  4. Remember, shared equipment and shared facilities are different.

    A shared facility must be declared even if there is no contact. Example, if your kitchen is totally gluten free and your child uses a gluten containing paste in his room with the door closed on a school project, you have shared facilities.

    If your husband cuts a regular sandwhich on the counter and thougoughly washes the counter and the knife, you have shared equipment.

    A great deal depends on how careful the manufacturer is and on how sensitive you are.

  5. You have a great idea. Good luck!

    The thing that would have helped me most? I really needed someone to help me convert old favorite recipes to gluten free. I have gotten pretty good at it now, but I threw out a bunch of failures... some too grim to even mention.

    Little tricks that most of us have learned (like carrying crackers in my purse to cocktail parties) would make a good booklet.

  6. All these months later I still have the same problem. I am not obese, but I do need to lose about 20 pounds. I have tried Atkins for 2 months (lost nothing) I have tried low fat (nothing) . I refuse to give up my one nightly cocktail, but surely that isn't the problem. I am getting very frustrated.

  7. Yesterday I went to a new orthopedic doctor about a foot problem. He looked at my paperwork and said "I see you have Celiac. What do you take for it?" This was a very young (think Doogie Howser) doctor who must have been in med school fairly recently. Don't they teach them about Celiac? OK, he's not a GI specialist, but I would think he would pick up a little basic info somewhere along the way! Is this unusual? Am I being unreasonable?
