    The romantic menu will depend on your finances and culinary skill. A grilled steak,potato & salad (all gluten free) is always good, and a very masculine menu. Lobster, grilled fish anything. A lady LOVES to be cooked for. I hope y'all both have a good time!

    If you are just starting, let me warn you. There is a lot of conflicting information floating around. Common sense is one of your best weapons. Some canned meats do have gluten added (of course, the meat it self is gluten free). Read all labels. I eat Member's Mark chicken all the time with no ill effects. I use it in chicken a la king, pot pies, casseroles...

    I have been happy with the John's Red Mill mix. Am I missing out? I guess since all the pizza I'm used to is chain take out I don't know really good pizza. I see the crust as a way to get the good stuff from the plate to my mouth. And I load on the good stuff!

    I have been gluten free for a little over two years. I can't imagine having to share my kitchen with gluten. My husband eats gluten free (he has no reason to except that he loves me) and I have learned to prepare almost eveerything we have always eaten in a gluten free way. He does have one loaf of regular bread, but he is very careful with it. Anything...

    La Choy soy sauce doesn't have wheat and I have used it with no problem. It's also cheaper than most other brands.

    I'm so glad to know the onion soup is safe. It must have been something else. I love this place. So much info!

    I can't find any poison ingredients listed, but I think it got me. Does anyone know about this redipe stand-by?

    That does sound good. Jerseyangel's advice is sound. When a recipe uses flour to thicken I generally use an all purpose gluten free blend. Beware... it will probably take a little less for the desired thickness. For the bread, if you have access to Udi's use it. That is the only one I have found that doesn't get gummy when it is damp.

    Let's make that "Geaux Saints!" (Sorry, Yankees, it's a Cajun thing)

    The menu says that fried items may be fried with items that contain gluten. That is enough answer for me!

    WHO DAT? Red beans and rice with a big salad and tiny cornbread muffins for half time. As snacks: any hearty chips and dip (We're talking about Man food here) toasted pecans roasted peanuts in the shell I know women watch the Super Bowl and love football, especially thte Saints around here. But I do cater to the men for ball...

    I've been gluten free for a little over two years and have learned a few tricks, but I think we all get "poisoned" occasionally. Shampoo? How often do you get it in your mouth? Close your mouth in the shower. If you find a restaurant willing to work with you, become a regular. That way they will know you and what you need. A couple of places here have special...

    Mark me as another Udi's fan. When I order, I get 6 or 8 loaves. This spreads out the shipping so the cost per loaf is more reasonable Keep it in the freezer. Ten seconds on defrost in the microwave and you have fresh REAL bread.

    I am also a Udi's fan. I literally cried the first time I tasted it. Sandwhiches! Toast!It's even good to drag through the left over gravy. I buy 6 or 8 loaves at a time and keep them in the freezer. Since no one here sells it, I order. Buying in bulk spreads out the shipping charges a little.

    Many Thai restaurants don't use soy sauce; they use fish sauce, which is safe. My local one has soy sauce on the table, but they do not cook with it.

    The fever and chills sound more like food poisoning than glutening. Did any one who ate with you get sick? I could easily be very wrong, but that just doesn't sound right.

    Camobell's mushroom soup is poison, butr it is in so many recipes. Go to your bookstore or library and get Robert St John's book "How to Survive in a Southern Kitchen Without a Can of Mushroom Soup" In the book there is a recipe for Mushroom bechamel sauce that can be used in place of the soup. Just use gluten free flour when you make it. Freeze it in can...

    I love reading something positive by someone close to my age! It has been 9 mo and I still do not feel to good but not giving up!

    Would this be the same with chicken and wild rice? I've eaten it with no problems, but it's not on the list.

    It is wonderful to hear from such happy, upbeat people. Count me as one. From life as an exhausted sickie I have become energetic and happy. The Sunday after Christmas my youngest grandson (4 months) is being baptised. I will have a reception at my house after. All food gluten free, and I bet no one knows it. i have found so many ways to "fake it" that...

    I have been called three times and wound up on the jury all three times (a civil suit (innocent), a medical malpractice (innocent) and a home burglary (guity) Each time was differrent and all were very interesting. I agree with the others who said bring something to read. Also bring snacks, as they brought us donuts and sandwhiches. I always think that...

    I get the mid afternoon fatigue about 2:30-3:00. Quite by accident I discovered that a small can of V-8 and a couple of gluten-free crackers fix me right up. I think I must need something in the V-8, because nothing else works as well.dent, I discovered that a few gluten-free crackers (I love Mary's Gone Crackers) and a small can of V-

    CalicoJo, I love your turtle picture. Is he a pet? Our house is surrounded by anolis (little chameleons) and they are really cute.

    I am really distressed by the poor language skills I observe every day. The newspaper, on television, everywhere.... it is as if these people never went to English class past third grade. Using the pronoun "I" does not make you sound correct. Sometimes you need to use "me". Reflexive pronouns (myself) can't be used unless it is refering to a noun.There...
