    Be sure to wear gloves, change them frequently and wash your hands frequently and don't touch your face while working. I'm super sensitive and I know I could not work there but some people might be able to do it. It's going to be very hard to not get cc'd by all the crumbs you have to clean up and by filling orders but it might be doable if you are super...

    If they make the donuts from scratch with flour on site it very likely will not be a safe place for you to work. Sorry.
  3. GlutenFreeManna
    You are correct since gluten is not a germ it is a protein. Hand sanitizer does not kill or destroy it. They only way to get it off the hands is by washing with soap and water.

    Sweet rice flour is more sticky when you mix it and gives sort of a stretchy texture in baked goods. If you use plain rice flour the crust may be more crumbly or grainy. Sweet rice flour IS the same as "glutinous" rice flour however (which is glutne free despite the name). Do you have an Asian food store in town? I can always find glutinous rice flour...

    chicken salad sandwiches and yellow split pea dahl. I know it doesn't go together, oh well.

    We're enjoying nicer whether here today in the 70's but I got so into making new "cold" food that I decided to make chicken salad today--for the first time in my life! I know that probably sounds strange but I have never liked mayo and used to hate all mayo based salads--chicken, tuna, egg, pasta, potato, etc. Well since cutting out so many foods that used...

    Leftover chicken.

    ARCHIVED Tipping

    GlutenFreeManna replied to Menic's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Both my husband and I have been in food service in the past so we have always tipped well for good service, gluten-free or not. Now if a restaurant goes out of their way to make sure my food is safe I will write a letter to the corporate offices thanking them and naming the server and/or manager that were so helpful. That actually helps them more than just...

    Maybe instead of editing the top post you could just make a new post with all the answers given and ask the mods to make it a sticky? Or if they can't do a sticky, you can just post a reply everyday to keep it bumped up to the top. I've seen many forums where they do that by just posting "bump" as a reply. I know that's a lot of work for you to keep track...

    All the Red Robins I have been to have been great as well although I didn't get that detailed of a description of the process. I didn't know about the plates--that may be a thing that one restuarant has decided to do. I'll have to pay attenttion next time I go and see if my plate is a different color. I do know that they flag the items with an "allergy...

    For baking try Palm oil shortening. It's just like Crisco in texture and has pretty much no taste. I have used it for cakes and cookies with good results. And it's great for greasing pans too. I use extra LIGHT olive oil (NOT Extra virgin) for any baking calling for oil or even if it says melted butter you can usually use oil instead. For spreading...

    Lara bars are $1.99 - $2.19 each regualr price in my area. They do sometimes go on sale for 10 for $10 and that's when I buy them. I usually get 20 at one time when they are a dollar each and I only eat maybe one a week at most so they last me for a while. I agree about them being too expensive though. I don't have any right now. I found Enjoy Life bars...

    Does she like to cook or make treats? To keep cool you could help her experiment with making cold treats in the kitchen--things like fruit smoothies, sorbet, homemade popsicles, etc. Could be fun for her to learn and the resulting treat would be something cold she could have. Also since the library is cool AC-wise, you could take her there to look...

    Interesting ideas! Thanks! I don't have a spice grinder but I do have a mortar and pestal--would that work to crush it fine enough? Do you mean like for coating fried chicken or fried fish or something?

    I have do a scale I use for measuring flours. DO you measure by weight when making falafels? I did not know that. I've never attepted them. That's why I wouldn't try them first with out a recipe. But I do make a lot of other things without recipes or take recieps I find and alter them slightly to make them fit my restrictions and preferences.
  16. GlutenFreeManna
    Falafel sounds divine! But I'm afraid to attempt it without a detailed recipe. Throwing a little of it into other soups and stews might just be my next strategy if I don't find somehting I like.
  17. GlutenFreeManna
    Thanks! That soup recipe looks like it has a lot more flavor and structure (with the potatoes) than the one I tried. I think being a split pea soup perfectionist qualifies you as a chef, at least in my world it does.
  18. GlutenFreeManna
    This is similar to what I tried and it didn't work for me but I was doing it mainly vegetarian (or only with chicken broth no meat). I think I will try it again and use smoked meat. Smoked salmon sounds wonderful actually. Thanks for the suggestion!
  19. GlutenFreeManna
    ooh, Thank you Poppi! I don't know why I didn't think of that. I love Indian food!
  20. GlutenFreeManna
    Why don't you just cut out BOTH gluten and dairy for a few months then test him by trying one or the other for one week? He may end up having trouble with both. And when you say he had a celiac panel, did you get the test results and read them for yourself to see which test the dr did? There should have been more than one number with reference ranges...

    I have some yellow split peas I need to use up. I have tried making soup and it was blah. I have mixed them with rice and carmelized onions and and peppers and it was a little better but I was still not loving the yellow split peas texture like I thoguht I would (I like lentils and I like green split peas but these are different). I need recipe suggestions...

    We ended up picking up a rotisserie turkey breast from BJ's to go with the leftover vegetable risotto from lunch.

    My husband kissing me after he had eaten gluten at work, but didn't tell me he had eaten anything with gluten. My husband driving my car and stoppong at a fast food place and eating in the drivers seat before driving home (since we have a gluten-free house). Then I drove after him and got glutened from the steering wheel. Now he has to brush his teeth...
  24. GlutenFreeManna
    No. I never liked the HH type meals before going gluten free. I can make better tasting and healthier stir-fry with rice for less money than the box mixes. I would not have known about the change if I had not seen it mentioned on this board.
  25. GlutenFreeManna
    Be careful about the Hamburger Helper if you eat that. They have recently stopped making the gluten-free ones because they are manufacturing them on the same lines as wheat products. The boxes won't have gluten in the ingredients but they will now say "May contain wheat" on them. Here's a blog post about it: Open Original Shared Link
