    Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions! I think I'm still going to try it, but I won't be too disappointed if it doesn't work. (We're talking a quarter cup of quinoa and half a cup each of orange juice and almond milk, so if it does reverse space-time, I imagine it'll be a pretty limited effect.) I expect what I'll wind up with will be a kind of interesting...

    Thanks! I don't actually use baking soda or baking powder (might explain why all my baked goods turn out as pancakes ) but it's a very good suggestion.
  3. The Fluffy Assassin
    It won't reverse space-time or anything like that will it? Seriously, there's no reason in particular not to cook with either orange juice or almond milk, is there? I can't think of any but have never cooked with either that I can think of. Lately I've been mildly obsessed with trying to come up with orange julius cookies; go figure.
  4. The Fluffy Assassin
    Dammit. As somebody notes, probably just CYA, but better safe than sorry, certainly.
  5. The Fluffy Assassin
    Also Aldi ground cumin, dammit. There are people who think that when Aldi changes one of its imaginary brand names, that means they also changed suppliers. I was never one of those people, before. But I think both of the ones reading "may contain milk, wheat, soy" are Stonemill Essentials rather than Spice Club. Need to clean that stonemill, I'm thinking...

    Checking the ingredients every time is wise; I wish I had.
  7. The Fluffy Assassin
    Neat! I'll look up Penzey's.
  8. The Fluffy Assassin
    I get very little immediate effect when I ingest gluten. Usually a case of the trots about 5 in the morning, but little else. Better safe than sorry, I figure.
  9. The Fluffy Assassin
    Zippy! I'm kind of hoping this is the sweet spice I like so much in pho. But that's probably rock sugar.

    I just found out that North American cinnamon isn't cinnamon. Don't know if they'll allow this link; if not, look up cassia on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamomum_aromaticum Now I want the Sri Lankan stuff!
  11. The Fluffy Assassin
    Oh darn! So sorry. Yes, it's really hard working with spices. Wishing you better luck in the future.
  12. The Fluffy Assassin
    It must be a pretty new labeling (this year); I certainly checked the label before I started buying Aldi cinnamon, and as you say, it didn't say anything like this before.
  13. The Fluffy Assassin
    I didn't even look, having started trusting single-spice packages. I need to remember that that's only McCormick. Oh well. I'll be throwing out a third of a jar; this means of course that I ate two-thirds of it. Oops!

    It makes me angry, hostile and paranoid. I have Asperger's; it seems to be a lot better without soy and dairy.

    Broken record, aren't I? Found another wrap specifically labelled gluten-free. This one is the larger fajita-type tortillas, sold by 8-count and perfect for, you guessed it, fajitas. I found them rather delightful, though unfortunately they use soybean oil, which I avoid. So I won't be trying them again, but can recommend them if you're lucky enough not to...

    Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, not an allergy. Most of your symptoms sound like common celiac disease symptoms. If your doctor is an allergist and says that you are allergic to wheat, you should act accordingly. If your doctor isn't an allergist, you should see an allergist. If you want to give up gluten, you have to give up wheat, barley, barley...

    I returned to Mart of Wal, but to a different location, this one with a much smaller selection of soft corn tortillas. This time, the only one with a gluten warning was... theirs: Walmart Great Value soft corn tortillas said they might contain traces of wheat or soy. However, I found a couple more labeled (Hmmm; spell check is pretty relaxed around here:...
  18. The Fluffy Assassin
    The weird thing is that there weren't any wheat ingredients. There was just an additional note in all-caps: CONTAINS WHEAT. And the other one, without any gluten ingredients listed, said, "This is not a gluten-free product." Appears that companies are recognizing their cross-contamination but instead of figuring out how to ensure what should naturally be...

    I've been using soft corn tortillas as my bread substitute for ages, since the ingredient list didn't include any gluten ingredients. Recently I found one actually labelled gluten-free: Mission extra thin yellow corn tortillas. Then I lost them. (Publix reorganized their tortilla selections.) So I went out looking, and started reading labels on other soft...

    In my gluten-eating days, the tingling wandered and might have been found anywhere. It wasn't just confined to the feet. Sometimes my head, sometimes my chest right over my heart. (As I thought the problem was poor circulation, this was particularly alarming.) Speaking only for myself, I find that tingling in hands and feet is more likely a result of allergies...

    So I had the stuff for two pizzas, but failed to buy two bags of Chebe bread pizza mix. Meanwhile, I had worked up a recipe of sorts for potato-kale flatbread (which was supposed to be potato chips, but didn't quite work out) which I couldn't figure out what to do with. Two great tastes that taste great together! So I tried making a pizza (well, a pizza-free...

    It was either that or "my friend Ross," and I wasn't sure he'd like it, nor if he'd fit the meter. Thanks! (I accept the tongue-in-cheek ones, too.)

    So my 90 year old dad's girlfriend for her 90th birthday wanted to go to Red Lobster. Previous posts here indicated that I could get by there by ordering broiled fresh fish, unseasoned steamed vegetables, and a plain baked potato. However, this time out, I saw that there was a notice on the menu that allergy sufferers should ask the server for Red Lobster...
