    I meant to add... she's an awesome singer. She used to frequent this karaoke place a lot and has sent me several mp3's of her singing and was able to put 2 of her singing on video onto youtube for her proud mama. She recently answered an ad in the paper and is the singer in a cover band. She's not quitting her day job (as a fitness and physical/occupational...

    You may have hit the nail on the head, bartful! I know exactly what you're talking about w/ the bar sinks. The poor kid is such an expert thrower-upper... which sounds like a good thing but is SOOO not!

    My youngest daughter suffers from the most severe celiac disease of all of us (me and my other 2 daughters). After more than a year of seeing many different doctors (investigating things like refractive celiac, interstitial cystitis, and other things) this child finally found exactly 5 foods that she could safely eat and ate them for more than a year: white...

    I'd consider an alert bracelet. I told my doctor once that I was afraid that I'd end up in a nursing home someday and the workers would be so mad at me for the horror of what would come out of my mouth and butt if they gave me wheat bread and I didn't know not to eat it! My doctor nearly had to pick herself up off the floor cause she was laughing so hard...

    I had terrible reflux and often had what felt like heart attack chest pains. I took Protonix for a good while. Then I lost 20 lbs. and the reflux vanished. I was completely gluten-free but was eating too much and too late.

    I'll give it a try. One of my fave gluten breads to make were beautiful challahs. My 3 daughters grew up kneading the dough (no machines). Now we're all celiacs. There's a gluten-free bakery in Portland, Oregon called New Cascadia that makes the best challah I've ever had. It had the perfect "bite" if you can appreciate that term. I have literally BEGGED...

    You're right, love2travel. It's good, but it's not French bread or a baguette. It'll be better toasted!

    Thanks!! I'll try the recipe tomorrow and let you know how it comes out!

    I can't tell you how many times people have said to me, "Oh, you can't eat this because it contains whey." I just tell 'em whey is not gluten and I'm good. Been to Red Robin. The manager told us that they all learn the ins and outs of gluten-free cooking/serving and take it all very seriously. They said they used Udi's buns and dedicated fryers. It was...

    I miss it more than any other gluten food. I've tried mixes that were kind of yucky and recipes that just don't measure up. The best I've had are the Udi's baguettes, but they don't sell them where I live and to order them online comes out to about $5 per pretty SHORT loaf. Has anyone made a really good one? I use Better Batter flour rather than the...

    After trying all of the premade ones, I found Namaste crust mix. It says it makes two 14-inch crusts but I make 5 or 6 smaller ones, bake them off, and then freeze the ones I don't use. It's delicious... light and airy, which the premade crusts are not. I live in the middle of nowhere and there are very few gluten-free offerings here.

    I've seen a few recipes around the internet (you can google recipes) and I've wanted to try them but I haven't. I so miss matzoh... for the times when there's lots leftover (I used to buy 5 one-pound boxes when the kids were smaller) for one of my fave treats... matzoh spread with cold butter!! I've not yet had any of the Yehuda as it's about $10/one-pound...

    My youngest was looking for a roommate and put in her CL ad that she would ONLY talk to completely gluten free candidates. Spending a year living w/ a roomie who didn't get gluten-free and left gluten stuff all over the place made up her mind that she'd either live alone or only live with someone who takes being gluten free as seriously as she does. A dating...

    It took me years of tip-toeing around pot lucks before I finally said, "It looks great, but if I don't cook it, I can't eat it." Hope you feel better soon!!

    I'm a fan of "shoestring" too as I love the Better Batter flour. I have one of her cookbooks as well.

    My middle daughter was a vegetarian for many years... not super strict but she didn't eat meat. Soon after she was diagnosed, she brought meat back into her life as it seemed most of her protein sources were no longer allowed. I know you're asking about nutrition but my daughter's response to the whole thing was, "Holy crap... I forgot how good steak tastes...

    I've finally come to the realization that if I don't cook it, I don't eat it. We've gone to dinner at a neighbor's who is incredibly sweet about making me a separate dessert and being very careful but it's still such a gamble and not one I'm willing to take. I love cooking the meal and even if it's just the hubs and me, we'll eat at home. One neighbor is...

    No... ha ha. We scarfed 'em all up! I'll take photos next time!
  19. luvs2eat
    Thanks for your comments and help! I made the dough, pinched off 4 small pieces, and put the rest of the dough in the freezer. I let them rise, fried 'em up, rolled 'em in sugar (I'll add a little cinnamon next time), and stuffed 'em with jelly (we only had grape but I'll use strawberry or raspberry next time). Hubs and 2 neighbors gave them an enthusiastic...

    If you've never felt worse... something's not right. You said that all other allergies are out of the picture, but something's not making you feel good. I can only relate my youngest DD's celiac beginning. She was intolerant of seemingly EVERYTHING and spent more than a year eating exactly 5 foods... until her gut healed. She lost about 40-50 lbs. and had...

    One of the many reasons we just don't eat out anymore, sadly.

    I think you should take me with you as your personal assistant. I'll be happy to do your food shopping and cooking and pave the way for you with restaurants!!

    How do I deal with servers? I don't either. I've had too many experiences where I've talked to the server and the manager only to have the cook/chef mess it all up... flour tortilla strips in a salad that isn't supposed to even have tortilla strips in it (like Malibu salad w/ fruit as opposed to taco salad)... assurances from the server that there is NO wheat...

    I was pissed off for a LONG time. Baking artisan breads was my passion. I actually cried in the grocery store once because there was wheat flour in something I wanted. There are still foods I miss and things I don't bake anymore because the difference in taste/texture is still as fresh in my mind as if I could eat them yesterday.
  25. luvs2eat
    Thanks for your help! I'll make a batch but only make a few to see how it works and then freeze the rest of the dough and fry them up on party day. I'll let you know how it comes out!
