    Yes, but maybe I shouldn't have laughed THAT much!

    When I went on my three month gluten challenge I did not get sick at all. I actually felt BETTER on gluten! Totally normal BMs, etc. It does scare me because I do not know whether I have been glutened since I have been strictly gluten-free for nearly five months. There was one incident I know I accidentally ingested gluten (the company's nacho chips said...

    I really, really love roasted tomato sauce for pasta and tweak it a bit for pizza sauce. Not really a recipe but more of a method. Method #1: Slice about 20 roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and arrange cut side up on baking sheet. Cut some onion into large chunks and spread on sheet with the tomatoes. Do the same with whole garlic cloves. Sprinkle...

    Sorry to laugh at that but I secretly am inside. ( ) On your honeymoon? Oh, dear. I have never had proper authentic rijsttafel. Were you actually able to taste food or did you mainly feel the heat?

    I bet your ex has not made the same mistake since! Once when I was home from work from lunch (I was young and thought I was invincible - my, how times have changed! ) I decided to skip wearing gloves and chopped habaneros for a salsa I would be making that evening. Well, that was not the smartest decision I've made. For some unknown reason (blame...

    Laurie, no apologies are necessary. That really incenses me, too. It actually makes my blood boil to think that this type of false information runs rampant out there - it could potentially be so misleading. Grrrr. It is unreal how we fall so short on education! Last month I was at a very interesting celiac conference. The speaker was a leading...

    I'll send you smoked dried peppers from that latin market if you would like me to. They flavor was remarkable and I bet you could do amazing things with them. There were other smoked and fresh peppers there, not sure how the fresh peppers would do with shipping. If you'd like me to do that, send me your address.

    I got 11 mangos today, food heaven!

    This is such an easy recipe it is embarassing. Open Original Shared Link I like my shortbread thick so press it into an 8" round pan and refrigerate for an hour before baking at 300. I score into wedges. I also use unsalted butter and sprinkle some fleur de sel on top. Am looking for my other recipe - when I locate it I will post. This is also good...

    - Smoothies are delicious. I use lots of fruit, yogurt and flaxseeds for crunch and fibre. - Lots of egg dishes - scrambled, poached, frittatas, shirred or boiled. Sometimes with bacon, sometimes deviled with yummy stuff such as sour cream and chives or truffle oil if I am feeling decadent. Love eggs benedict on my gluten-free biscuits. - When we grill...

    Too funny! Or the lettering on those fake cakes with gag icing and brutal roses that is spelled incorrectly such as "Congratulation's" or "Hapy Brithday!" You know those functions where there are about 50 tables and one is called up at a time to serve yourselves? My husband and I inevitably have been either dead last or second last for some reason. Maybe...

    It depends on what you want to use the butter for. Baking? Cooking? Liquid fat would not work properly in many baking recipes such as pastry, biscuits, shortbread and so on because you need solid fat to build layers. It does work well in some baking such as cakes and quick breads as you sometimes must melt butter, anyway.

    My doctors and dietitian all told me I absolutely must be eating the equivalent of four pieces of bread (at least) per day for three months (I had been off gluten for five months) for accurate results. As I did not have GI symptoms and love consuming gluten I was only too happy to oblige! But many would not be and I do not blame them one little bit...

    Man, I can relate to so much of this! I had been blaming my brain fog on fibromyalgia (called fibro fog) so I think I have a double dose of it. Bumping into things is incredibly annoying and because I have fibro those spots really hurt for weeks and weeks. My chronic pain doctor said if my husband were to stub his toe it would hurt for minutes; if I...

    My sister found out she was gluten intolerant so I requested bloodwork. To my shock and horror it came back off the charts positive! I hadn't felt ill or anything so I went ahead with both the colonoscopy and gastroscopy for two reasons - to really make sure I indeed had celiac disease (I was in denial) and to see if there was anything else at the same...

    If you are also talking about any fats I would add bacon and duck fat and butter to the list. NEVER margarine. Macular degeneration unfortunately runs in my family and margarine is notoriously bad for that.

    Shortbread is one of my favourite things, too! Especially the really thick authentic stuff from Scotland. Mmmm.... I make mine with cornstarch and some brown or white rice flour and icing sugar and butter, of course. Have not tried corn flour but it may just work. A bit of either coconut flour or almond flour adds a nice flavour but they absorb more...

    It's awesome! Oh, yes. Also good brushed with melted guava or plum jelly. If you try it, report back!

    An entire room lined with shelves plus shelves downstairs. At any given time I probably have at least 50 different kinds of interesting condiments and preserves (I make most), 85 spices, truffle paste, lots of vanilla beans, etc. I often open my pantry just to look and I am not kidding. It is like an international specialty food store! People actually...

    I am a chili pepper FANATIC. Whenever friends travel to the US or Mexico they know without asking to bring back whatever they can find. It is almost like a collection! Some of my favourites are mulato, chipotle (dried jalapeno), ancho (dried poblano), cascabel, guajillo, aleppo... I toast them on dry heat, grind in my M&P or grinder and use in rubs...

    Since there are some bacon fans here, has anyone tried brushing bacon with something sweet such as maple syrup and roasting in the oven? Lovely - sort of like bacon candy. Also good sprinkled with black pepper and pomegranate molasses.

    How wonderful! So glad people are discovering the virtues of gluten-free baking. I bet in addition to your success the judges' eyes were opened as well (which is also success). Way to go!

    Having had intense and debilitating chronic pain for nearly four years (herniated discs, fibromyalgia and so on) I have found it difficult. So many things are based on how my back is doing at that moment. We have had to cancel so many plans due to constant pain. I literally cannot sit longer than 15 minutes and standing long is very difficult. Even when...

    No oils have bothered me, thankfully. I make flavoured oils such as basil. We have about 12 kinds of oil for different things: - for aiolis and such a neutral oil such as grapeseed - vinaigrettes roasted walnut oil or hazelnut oil - extra virgin olive oil for finishing/vinaigrettes; the good imported stuff for drizzling on good artisan cheeses, Caprese...
