    Oh I'm sorry I certainly didn't mean to imply that anyone was dishonest! I just meant that some times we sugar coat things. I've known people that had different prep things and said it wasn't so bad. In regards to the running to the bathroom, I never had that issue, I had to go often but for me there was nothing uncontrollable about it. Instead of...

    DUCK! I work from my home most of the time and my iMac is set up with a huge window behind it and right out side the window is my "diner" (read: animal feeding station). I have a squirrel proof bird feeder (really is squirrel proof) suet, niger, water in a bird bath and on the ground and I throw corn and other things on the ground for the squirrels...

    I get the Whole Foods newsletter and I love that they label their recipes depending on what's in them (or isn't in them as the case may be). I've made a lot of their recipes in the past and really love most of them, they do such a terrific job, I love that store (I have to drive 45 minutes just to get to one) Susan

    I love these shows... I've gotten so sick of "regular tv" all the shows are the same there are only a few Network shows I'm willing to watch, so I turned to cable. I love Top Chef and Design Star and Project Runway (i'm both fashion and food crazy, I occasionally even watch Hells Kitchen although Gordon Ramsey gets on my nerves I've worked in some restaurant...

    I drink water that come straight out of the ground, its not filtered or treated in any way. We do have it tested yearly and its clean with no contaminants, we don't just test for bacteria either but do the big expensive test (like 450.) that tests for crazy things like jet fuel and fertilizers etc. It tastes excellent. My well here on Cape Cod is twice...

    Wow how exciting. The Outback on Cape Cod has glutened me the last 3 times I've been there. I finally called the General Manager of the entire chain. They told me they are going to go over the gluten-free protocol in Hyannis and try and fix the problems. Lets hope so! Susan

    I agree with the tomatoes ...... the first year I grew them I had a gazillion of them. So I washed them, dried them, froze them individually then combined them in a big bag. I just took out what I needed from the bag and dropped in boiling water to remove skins then used them. If you don't have the freezer space you can remove the skins first before...

    Oh I hope they are gluten-free I love When hope is not enough. I love all their products! Susan

    I do not eat them, most make me sick every single time. I guess the bottom line is you have to try them, I've gotten sick off them so many times that I gave up on that but I'm lucky that I have a lot of good stores that sell gluten-free products fairly close by. Susan

    People are so careful about saying anything bad... well I will. The prep was so awful for me. The procedure was a breeze, nothing to it. I told my doctor that next time I need one I will fast on liquids only for days to avoid the prep. It wasn't that I had to remain so close to the restroom, that part was controllable for me. The prep gagged me and...

    Its interesting all the different experiences. I eat out in restaurants a few times a week (biz and for pleasure) and almost never have a problem. However many times that I eat at a friends house I get gluttened and at every potluck except for 1 I've gotten glutened. Our neighborhood has a big grassy open lawn and we have pot lucks (and clam bakes...

    excellent! Thanks much! Susan

    Gout weed, you poor thing. Anything that travels underground is a bear to get rid of, gout week, poison ivy, bamboo, etc. I have an acre and a half and when I bought this place except for a small front yard the entire place was covered with poison ivy, the healthiest crop of it you've ever seen (cape cod is the perfect habitat for it, sandy soil not...

    I get sick every single time I eat doritos. I don't know if its CC or just something in them that doesn't agree with me. Susan
  15. pixiegirl
    Wow I have the top of the line Kitchen Aid and all my friends and family are amazed that I don't even rinse my dishes before putting them in. I don't really even scrape them unless there are bones or lots of food left. I do wash everything on the pots and pan cycle but I do that because it heats the water up to over 190 degrees to kill germs (occasionally...

    I travel too and I get on the internet and look at restaurants before I go. If I have time and I often don't I'll e-mail a few places with nice menu's and ask them if they can cook gluten-free for me. This works pretty well, after years of traveling I've only had a couple of places say no, can't help you. I don't let clients pick the restaurants in...

    My daughter works on the weekends in a restaurant and just so you know your not alone... half the people who order ask for "special" things.... many people in this day and age have food allergies or sensitivities. There are a lot of special diets out there, its certainly not just you and most restaurants are use to the requests and such. However, I think...

    I can only answer for my daughter, so far no. But she has only been gluten-free for a few months. Susan

    I think with the gluten-free "bread" type products they add the fat for flavor, in the form of oil, cheese, etc. I love Against the Grain but... the only thing I find that works it to either not eat it as often or exercise a lot more. Thankfully gardening season is here! Susan

    This post started off about metabolism slowing down and weight gain because of it. However after reading the various posts (and I can't remember who said what) some of you can't exercise so my advice may be useless to you but for those of you that can exercise... here is some good advice. First of all I don't know if the slowing of metabolism is due to...

    Oh thank you! I can't wait for some ideas! Susan

    Ok Amy, There may be some yoga or pilates in Sandwich but if your if your in Scorton Creek area the yoga place at Bell Tower Mall (outdoor strip shopping center, why they call it a mall i know not) isn't much further then the town area of Sandwich. I've not been there but some friends say its nice. A varied class schedule, various sorts of yoga and you...

    Its really upsetting to me about Hershey's. I need chocolate that is not only gluten free but peanut and nut free.... does anyone have any ideas? Susan

    Sometimes, especially in summer, when people ask what I do I saw "gardener". Actually I have a long personal and professional life in the garden. I come from a family that loves gardening. I worked for City Gardens in Boston an urban interior and exterior landscape company (commercial accounts only). Then moved to the Cape and worked for Hoxie Landscaping...

    I agree with you there. I've been using their breads for a couple of months we have a local health food store that carries them and they are excellent. The are not good cold, you have to warm them up or nuke them but then they are so good! Susan
