  1. Too hot to cook inside. I almost wish there was still some snow left to roll around in! Since there isn't, we are grilling: Juiper-Brined Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Apple Glaze and Apple Chips Baked then Mashed Mango Whisky Sweet Potatoes Apple Cider Vinegar et. al. Slaw Blueberries (aren't grilling those tiny suckers!)
  2. My doctor's note has never been used, either. I use restaurant cards in the language of the country as well as memorize words in that language for things such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, gluten, etc. This comes in handy with label reading in the shops. We travel internationally regularly and have never had problems with snacks. Lufthansa does not have...
  3. Homemade burgers with my special sauce, caramelized onions, grilled mushrooms and Swiss cheese on a Kinnickinnik buns. And watermelon.
  4. Lisa, that photo is breathtaking. You are both GORGEOUS!! I am so very happy for you.
  5. Eggs Benedict with lovely smoked honey ham Frozen green grapes
  6. When do you go and for how long? I love Germany. We fly to Europe at least twice a year and though I detest the flights due to horrible pain, it is worth it in the end. Take a deep breath and relax. Honest. If it were not so extremely painful, I would enjoy flying. I used to! Look for the Scharr brand of gluten-free stuff. The sliced bread sucks but...
  7. Am not a Brown fan. Convince me otherwise!
  8. My mom is a dreadful cook. I usually use recipes for baking but not for cooking. It just comes instinctively to some methinks. I am skilled at it. Numbers and accounting? No clue!!
  9. To my meatballs I add a pamade which is bread chunks soaked in light cream. Lots of fresh thyme and freshly-grated nutmeg if they are Finnish or Swedish. And dried ground porcinis or porcinis that have been reconstituted in Port, Sherry, whatever. Sometimes Umami #5. And caramelized onions. But not all these at once!! Oh, and sometimes bacon or pancetta...
  10. But the photos of you with giraffes tell a different story. You look like you are about 12!!! Amazing.
  11. Grilled lamb that has a wet rub of lots of garlic, fresh thyme and parsley and lemon juice Sweet potato fries with blueberry "ketchup" Grilled haloumi drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with fresh herbs, Parmesan shards and lots of black pepper
  12. Methinks it will be a mango, raspberry, coconut and lime smoothie.
  13. Hopefully you do not have celiac but just know some of us were diagnosed as silent celiacs. I did not get ill even eating tons of gluten on my gluten challenge. That was 2+ years ago. After accidentally ingesting gluten a few months ago (a minute amount) I became dreadfully ill. Perhaps it may be worth pursuing in your case.
  14. How was the graduation? Congratulations! Did you have a restful day today? Reminder: Make the peach dessert thinger I mentioned up thread. You really, really should.
  15. Blech. Never been a beer fan but used to make a mean beef Wellington with Guiness. Anyhow, tonight is: Grilled porterhouse steak, 2" thick Herbed garlic roast potatoes Turkish grated carrot salad Grilled nectarines with Greek yogurt, toasted pine nuts and drizzled with wild acacia honey Tomorrow? Lamb.
  16. I made some wild mushroom, vegetable and lentil soup. Blitzed half and left half chunky. Mmmmmmm...
  17. That could have been my error. From time to time, my tablet likes to jump all over the place and inserts letters and words. I am guessing it happened when I was typing "cornstarch" and my less than brilliant tablet added it to your blurb. Weird!
  18. We adore Asian rice noodles. We have 12 kinds of Asian noodles including mung bean, green bean, cornstarch, glass, vermicelli, etc. All good and naturally gluten free. I do a lot of Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. cooking.
  19. For those of you who have not done so, google the flood. It is extremely serious. It is all over the news. Nvsmom, glad you are ok. I feel terrible for those who have lost family members due to drowning.
  20. Roast Sweet Potato Almond Chipotle Soup with Parmesan Thyme Crisps
  21. Another avid bookaholic! I cannot be without books surrounding me. My eReader is awesome, too, but I still prefer the feel and smell of paper books. Anyway, each year I probably read about 300 books. Panic hits if there is not a book in the vehicle or my purse. I too love classics such as Crime and Punishment. My favourite authors are Daphne Du Maurier...
  22. I am with Irish. I have done a TON of gluten-free baking both with and without and with Xanthan is far more consistent and successful. I have also had success with adding plain gelatin as well as gum.
  23. My husband built me fantastic raised beds five years ago. There is seating all the way around so I do not have to bend. I grow intensively. It is unreal how much we harvest!
  24. We have had less than an inch of rain thus far in 2013. Send some over, will ya? The above is called companion planting. There are lots of books on it such as "Carrots Love Tomatoes". My itty bitty veggies are just poking up. Our wee Swiss chard is about 5 mm tall and so darling.
