  1. It's interesting, alright. I've been sooooo curious about my reacting if I had gluten after so long just because I never felt sick in my life from gluten before. I loved gluten. I loved my gluten challenge. But it is sort of a good thing to know now. Your dinner sounds yum!
  2. Bunnie, sorry you have the flu. On the upside I'm feeling far better today! Not that that helps you... My mom has had her chest cold for over three weeks. She just cannot seem to get over it! There are indeed some nasties going around. Hmmm...how shall I entertain thee? I couldn't access the site today until now. Read any good books lately?...
  3. Me, too. Watch your back! We lurkers must stick together.
  4. You're right - I'm going for the rainbow. I always try to look on the positive side of things and see what I can learn from circumstances. It has been scary always wondering, especially traveling. And to think I had a few of those stupid dumb pudding thingers this past summer. No reactions then but that has changed. Sounds weird but it is actually sort...
  5. YUCK. Now I know what it is like to be glutened. The first (obvious) gluten reaction in my life. Another accidental glutening happened awhile back but it was very, very mild. Just a touch ill. This? Um...lets say now I can relate. I've been wondering what would happen if I ingested gluten and BANG. It happened. Two days ago. I opened a pudding...
  6. With turkey leftovers I made an incredible soup. First, I roasted the bones with bits of meat still on them, to add a depth of flavour. Then the usual mirepoix, drippings, white wine, fresh herbs, etc. I added a few kinds of dried pasta (the yucky corn pasta I've had sitting around for ages I strongly dislike but goes well in soup). We are also having...
  7. Oh, you must go to Germany! We love it there. My ancestors hail from Germany. In fact, more of them live there than in Canada. My cousin loves to spend time at our house in Croatia. He has been to over 100 countries (maybe I got the travel gene from him!) and his favourite is Croatia. I don't blame him. Glad you love cooking. I understand what...
  8. And I'm addicted to travel. There are so many thingers I love it's crazy. Not exactly inexpensive pursuits but the things I have experienced cannot be bought with any amount of money. Though I H A T E long flights (the pain nearly does me in each time but I keep telling myself to keep my eye on the prize) I still do it. I would have to rate my obsession...
  9. You've piqued my interest. I did not realize there were so many cultures there. How awesome that you are able to go to such great events! That is another thing so enjoyable about travel - different events that you just don't see elsewhere. Love 'em.
  10. Oh, yeah! That *is* what we said. I can tolerate neither so where shall I go?
  11. I've been to Utah and would have to agree. It is truly lovely. Now if only we could find a different culture and first language spoken in Utah - I'd be all over it! Sounds weird, but North America is not different enough for me. I suppose that is one of the 391,762,208,762 reasons I am so smitten with Europe. I'm a bit Europe hungry.
  12. ATTENTION!! OK. Now that I have your attention, we should brainstorm about the compound location. If I recall correctly, Colorado was mentioned. What other locations can we count as possibilities? As I started this I get to go first. (Not selfish or anything...) It should be a place with access to all sorts of wonderful fresh local produce...
  13. That is one good looking cupcake.
  14. How true! Who wants to be the IT department as we venture forth?
  15. You are too sweet. Hey - did you ever decide on a birthday cake? I have been away from this forum since Friday night so I have some catching up to do. Did I miss anything thrilling?
  16. To free up room in one of our freezers we are having roast turkey tonight. But no ordinary turkey - it is free range and I'm basting with an herbed butter. Starting roasting at 500 then cranking down the oven to 350 after 30 minutes to get a perfect skin. It will be succulent, tender, moist and full of flavour from the inside as I am stuffing the cavity...
  17. Smart man. Awesome (and cool - get it?) video. Get this - we live north of Edmonton where it is even colder. In fact, the other day we were 18 degrees colder than Edmonton. Where I live is a pocked of extreme and severe cold. Thanks for thinking of me and my trials and tribulations!
  18. I'm late to the party but have a great rest of your day! I hope you are very, very spoiled and enjoy some amazing food and other thingers things. When you used "thingers" yesterday I laughed out loud. Your sense of humour is so very refreshing! I love reading your posts.
  19. Sounds as though you are perfectly suited for the job. If the CM do not show up first, perhaps you can take care of "business". You have a lot of practice. Vastly more than me, for example...
  20. Ok, ok. I'll take care of mine if I must.
  21. Only if you can guarantee it won't be over 80F. I am not heat tolerant at all. But the idea of playing lots of no bridge is very appealing. Your dinner sounds great.
  22. I know how you love pizza. That reminds me - I realy need to make some soon. You know you are always welcome to come try out our temps. All four shovels are still in the garage. Maybe you'd grow to love it! Or maybe not so much...
  23. Pretty much. Northern Canada. Same thing. The other day when it hit -10 people were walking around with spring jackets and some even wearing shorts!! To us -10 is nothing. We find -30s very cold and -40s downright unbearable. I live on the prairies so windchill is almost always a factor, too. Very windy with very few trees. So, it can be -40 but with...
  24. Sylvia! I've missed you around these here parts. Welcome home!
