I didn't eat the chips and salsa, as the waiter told me (and I suspected cause they were so light) the chips were fried FLOUR tortillas!

I had the shrimp fajitas... w/ corn tortillas, chopped tomato, avocado slices, black beans... and flan for dessert. It was yummy!!

Chevy's is a chain, like Chili's or South of the Border. The funny part is that the waiter told me that my card, in spanish, would be useless because no one in the kitchen SPOKE spanish!! So much for authenticity!! But he showed the cooks the english side of the card and came back and told me exactly what I could and could not have.

I didn't have one intestinal "gurgle" afterward and consider the experience an awesome one!

Both parents are Scottish/Irish.

I live about 25 minutes from Quakertown! Check out Jules This Crust Pizza in Doylestown (Open Original Shared Link). They have awesome gluten-free pizza!!

Where in Atlantic City is a PF Changs?? I'm so excited!!

I can so empathize. I was a bread baker too. It's still the one food I'd sell my soul to be able to eat again!

I tried probably 4 different yeast bread recipes before I finally gave up. I use Manna from Anna mixes now and love them. She's got a banana bread mix too that's awesome.

That molten lava that rushes from my small intestine thru my large intestine as it fights its way out of me CAN'T be good for any part of me, I'm thinkin'!! We're talking alien acid that melts the space ship floor!!

what an awesome experience!! I'll put them on my list for a visit!!

Wait... the teriyaki marinader has no gluten? Is there soy sauce in it? Every teriyaki sauce I've ever seen has soy sauce in it. Suppose it's gluten-free soy sauce??

I am constantly amazed at all the place I find it! And, interestingly enough... I often DON'T find it in the cheap store brand of things like pasta sauce or BBQ sauce and DO find it in the higher priced brand names!!

I've made this before but lost the recipe. This looks similar! Needless to say... use wheat-free soy sauce!

GENERAL TSAO'S CHICKEN

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg

3/4 c. + 1 tbsp. cornstarch, divided use

1 c. + 3 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided use

2 tbsp. chopped green onion

1 tbsp. fresh minced ginger

1 tbsp. fresh minced garlic

2/3 c. chicken stock

2 tbsp. soy sauce

4 tbsp. sugar

Chinese hot oil to taste

1 tbsp. sherry

1 tbsp. white vinegar

Steamed broccoli

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and rub with salt. Mix the egg with 3 tablespoons water. Dip chicken in egg mix. Add 3/4 cup cornstarch and coat chicken thoroughly.

Heat 1 cup oil in a wok or skillet on medium-high and cook chicken pieces until they turn golden brown. Remove from oil and drain. Remove from skillet. Place remaining 3 tablespoons oil in pan. Over medium high heat, add green onions, ginger and garlic. When garlic turns clear, add chicken stock, soy sauce, sugar. Stir well.

Mix 2 tablespoons water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Pour into stock mixture and stir well. Add the chicken and continue stirring. Add Chinese hot oil (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) wine and vinegar. Stir gently. Serve immediately with broccoli.

I avoid it because I've read that it's sort of NON-food... just a chemical sugar that NONE of us need. It's not that hard to avoid as I'm reading the labels anyhow.

I have middle ear issues that make it hard for me to do things like grocery shop or visit museums. I carry chewable Bonine with me at all times and know to take it before things that I know will make me dizzy. I've not had continuous vertigo tho. It must be awful!!

I've always been a lunch packer too. Before gluten-free, I used to love to buy a long baguette and slice it in thirds... and make sammies for a few days. Now I make a loaf of Manna from Anna bread on the weekend and slice it up into slices and freeze 'em in zip locs. I toast 'em and make a yummy ham and cheese or turkey sammie for work. If I don't make the bread, I just bring leftovers. I hate buying lunch... it's too $$$!!

I was gonna jump in and help here, but I'll have to tell you that I've sworn off Oprah after that ridiculous show where she her nose was just about scraping the ceiling while she was telling author James Frey ("A Million Little Pieces") how "embarrassed and disappointed" she was. Ugh... she was so obnoxious. I'm not watching her anymore.

Nope... nothing on the menu... just rice pudding.

I can see the rationale... I imagine that orzo or whatever pasta they use holds up better in the creamy sauce... but HALLOOOO... don't call it rice when it's NOT.

This was ME not long ago.... I really thought I was gluten-free when I was doing things like taking croutons off my salad and blowing away the crumbs. The fine folks here set me straight, thank goodness!!

I went to a local restaurant for dinner last night and our waiter was awesome. I began to explain my dietary issues and he interrupted with "Oh... do you have Celiac? One of our waitresses does too!" He was most accommodating ... asked the chef about the crust on the fish, asked if anything included flour, etc. So... when my rice pudding for dessert was placed in front of me (no flour I was assured) the Celiac waitress, who just happened to be walking by, said, "Hey... you can't eat that. The rice is really PASTA!!"

YIKES!! I sent them a letter this morning thanking them for the wonderful dinner, but perhaps they should either disclose that the rice pudding is made with pasta... OR make it with rice!!!

A new shopping center in Warrington, PA, is going to have a Wegmans and a PF Changs!! I'm beside myself. I've only been to a PF Changs once as the closest one to me is about 1 1/4 hours away!! I can't wait!!

I work right around the corner from Jules. The owner is super nice (Jules is his older daughter. Hers and Bella's photos are on the wall of the restaurant).

I talked to him for a while before ordering the pear, brie, rosemary, and chopped almond gluten-free pizza to find out how he cooks them away from the regular pizzas. Can we say YUMMM???

As I expected, they are pricey, but they are an unbelievable treat!

I've lived for the last 25 years in and around New Hope, PA. I also grew up not far from Washington's Crossing. Pretty out here!!

There oughta be a law against that... that's why I now read EVERY label, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

So have we ascertained that no one ships gluten-free beer? Our Whole Foods won't carry it I'm sure, as I live in PA with the dumbest liquor laws on the books!! I might have to make a road trip to NYC!!

I've found that the longer I'm gluten-free, the more sensitive I've become. I'm reading EVERY label EVERY SINGLE TIME anymore!!

No rashes here... but I'm experiencing similar "attacks" (all intestinal) after years of being fine. I think I've gotten quite careless and have been accidentally glutened several times in the past month. For example... I JUST learned that many of the light sour creams have modified food starch... I've NEVER even looked at the label, cause how would wheat, etc. go in sour cream???

I am back to reading EVERY SINGLE LABEL EVERY SINGLE TIME. When did I become so confident and stop doing that anyhow??

I have it and my middle daughter of 3 has it. I'm fairly certain my sister and possibly my brother have it but neither will be tested!!
