    We are back from our glorious vacation. Actually, not really vacation as we were busy finalizing kitchen plans, preparing stuff for residency and the BIG move in spring but it was just so darned much fun in Croatia!!! Sigh...it is snowing and -10C but -22 with the winchill. Perfect weather for cooking and baking roast banana bread. We are having: ...

    Starting next May we will be living here and cannot wait. Just one more icky winter to get through!!! There is a lot of residency red tape and such to get through but it will be so worth it in the end.

    Still nice and warm here in Croatia. Lush and very, very green. Back in Canada? Not so much...

    My frustrations are few as cooking and baking are obsessions of mine. Thankfully I have the time to devote to creating fantastic things. I guess my frustration would be that gluten free breads, no matter what anyone says, are not like their gluten counterparts. They cannot be. Sure, it can smell good and taste relatively good but there simply is no substitute...

    Every flour has different properties so yes, generally one should use specified flours and starches. You can switch up a bit but be prepared for a different final product. Coconut flour, for example, is miles different from white rice flour which is hugely different from amaranth flour. Gluten free baking is a learning curve! But just know you can make...

    In Croatia at the moment and am eating rather well. This morning: Fresh Balkan cheese, sort of like silky soft feta Gluten free rosemary crackers Croatian olive oil - peppery and grassy and sublime! Croatian capers They all go together rather nicely. Only thing missing is fresh pine nuts that we do not have in our house at the moment.

    Me, neither, as I am currently in Croatia where it is slowly raining, warm, green and lush.

    Extremely. It is my LIFE, after all. My hubby and family need me. :-)

    Flying to Venice then driving to our house in Croatia - leaving Monday and will be away 26 days. YAY! Have not been here much lately as I have been busy. Yesterday I made lovely beef stew to use up some of our carrots, potatoes, peas, shrooms, etc. Nice to have as we are having some chilly temps (in the minus range). Have an awesome October, All...

    Thanks for your report. Glad you found Schar products! Most flights I am on offer tasteless and very mediocre food so I always take along a lot of snacks. Interesting about the beer in Bayreuth. And a gluten-free free tent in Nuremburg? How awesome! I have not been to Germany since my dx but love it there. Did you see any castles? I am a castle...

    What area? Make sure you go in off season if you didn't. Far less tourists. It certainly has become more known recently but thankfully our place is in a tiny hamlet on a white road. Sorry to entire change the topic of your thread! :-(

    I love England (been there six times) but am smitten with Wales. What a gobsmackingly stunning country!! Enjoy your trip.

    Think of it this way. A leading celiac specialist in Canada said at a lecture it takes the equivalent of the quantity of 1/70th of one peanut to cause damage. Not a lot.

    I was diagnosed as a silent celiac and travel internationally regularly. I would never, ever, EVER cheat, even on vacation. You can still do serious internal damage even if it does not manifest in GI symptoms. It is sooooooooo not worth the risk. Not only that but many people's symptoms grow increasingly worse the longer they are off gluten. Guess what...

    No, it's not just you...

    Back in town for the day. Out back house/dogsitting tonight til Wednesday then packing then going to Croatia! WHEW! And in between times must do something with my billions of tomatoes and apples and bags full of herbs. We are having breakfast for dinner, too... Creamy cheddar grits with bacon and poached eggs on top. Can you not just imagine how...

    Awesome! My husband and I are taking the plunge and moving to Croatia from Canada while we are still young. Our adventure begins next spring. We talk to the embassy about how long we can stay when we are in Croatia next week. We are hoping nine months of the year rather than just six.

    Just curious - where in the Czech Republic are you living? My husband and I travel internationally a lot and simply love the Czech Republic.

    I regularly make it with dumplings as I prefer it to Bisquik. My Mom recently told me she would not have been able to tell they were gluten free. Will dig around for the recipe (though I have really modified it)

    Glad you discovered it. I like it, too. So-called gluten free "panko" in stores is not even remotely similar!

    It is only 3C, cloudy and very windy at 2:15 pm. Not exactly balmy. Yucky.

    Until one experiences our winters in northern Canada, you haven't lived. :-P. Last year we had snow on the ground continuously from October 10 to May 4. Not good. But we are used to it so prepping is automatic. We are always in Europe for October so must winterize everything before leaving. Yucky winters!!!

    Traditional meatloaf (using panade for moisture) with picante glaze Buttery mashed potatoes Steamed green beans with frizzled shallots

    Spaghetti squash needs to be roasted. Just split in half, toss in some butter and sage leaves and season. Or use marinara or simply season and sprinkle with a good cheese such as Parmesan, manchego, Romano...

    Tuna salad with lots of capers on ciabatta
