    Wow. What a challenging situation! Gluten is not allowed in our home which makes things easy peasy. No analyzing, no wondering what if??

    Though the sounds of snowblowers surround me, I am now able to picture Spring a bit better, thanks to you! It is difficult to imagine things green and blooming. How incredible! Prickly, I adore the smell of acacias. They surround our Croatia house, along with wisteria which should be blooming. Bartfull, that is indeed cruel. Just when you think...

    To reiterate what everyone else has said, be PREPARED. We travel internationally regularly and must plan ahead. On our last trip to Paris the airline did not have a meal for me, even though I had ordered it in advance and double checked. Thankfully I had my stock of food anyway. But also be prepared not to find anything safe at airports. Expect delays...

    Title sums it up. We have about three feet of snow on the ground since the middle of October. We have had two days above 0 since then. Only two! So, as you can imagine, there is not much melting happening. There is nothing above 0 in the extended forecast, either. We will definitely have snow into May. I crave Spring. Please describe to me what it...

    Asparagus and ham frittata. I just adore egg dishes.

    The best skillet for breads is usually a well-seasoned cast iron that you can use stove top or in the oven at high temps. I use mine for everything from roasting chicken to biscuits to cornbread to buns to cinnamon rolls to scallion pancakes to tortillas...

    Have you considered non-cake items such as pavlova, panna cotta or creme brulee? Or how about chocolate lava cake or flourless cakes?

    We STILL have a solid three feet of snow in our yard, more elsewhere. It just doesn't stop snowing! Anyway...

    I have about 500 cookbooks that I use. There are tons of gluten free books but if you are seeking books for cooking as opposed to baking, so many books and recipes are naturally gluten free. If they are not, they are extremely easy to change. The only gluten free books I use are for baking when substitutions are trickier. I do a ton of ethnic cooking...

    I took it for pain (unsuccessfully) for a year or two. It caused me GI upset and I believe it is common with this med. Those side effects dissipated after awhile. Hopefully it works for you!

    I've cooked and baked from scratch my whole life but have tried a few gluten-free commercial products. YUCK!!! The only things I really miss the texture of include croissants, English muffins (sure, homemade are good but not as good), yeast doughnuts and chewy bagels. But then food is my life and my palate is exceptionally discerning. I would hands down...

    I dehydrate in the oven, anything from apple chips, chickpeas, tomato chips to kale chips. But the convenience of a dehydrator would be nice as it would free up oven space.

    I've been out of town (and miss my precious Bingley to distraction!). But in preparation I did make a wondrous batch of Bolognese sauce that is utterly fantastic. There are many parts to it but it does include reduced white wine, aromatics, milk, blah blah blah. That on (purchased! shame on me) buckwheat pasta and KFC copycat coleslaw on the side rounds...

    Capers end up in many things at our house, too. I even fry them quickly and sprinkle them on things that need a bit of extra crunch. I LOVE them.

    Do try it if you have not. Tempura is classic, simple and as already said gluten free anyway. So fabulous with fondue, calamari and so on.

    Oh, poop. So sorry you cannot it any more! My tuna salad is simple but tasty. Must have: - finely chopped red onion (love the sweetness and crunch) - finely chopped celery - capers and some caper juice - fresh lemon juice - homemade mayonnaise (aioli) - S&P Told you it is simple! But sometimes it is a crime to add about 309 things...

    Something soft and squishy as I had a LONG dental appointment today. So, I had Eggs Benedict and fresh blackberries. Tomorrow will be a vastly different story.

    I did not have obvious symptoms when I used to eat gluten. In retrospect I can attribute things to it such as miscarriages. Now when I get glutened (it happened once a month or so ago) I get very ill, vomiting, diarrhea, migraine and sinus problems. At least now I know what to expect!

    If travel is your passion, find a way to do it. Food and travel are my passions and I refuse to allow celiac, etc. prevent me from doing what I love most. You would not believe the severe chronic back pain I have and at times I think I am crazy to travel internationally but I do it. The flights nearly kill me - literally - but I stand up much of the time...

    All I use for this type of dish is a tempura batter which is naturally gluten free, anyway. White rice flour and club soda (beer is better if you have a gluten-free version you like). Mix but allow some lumps. This is best deep fried. Don't forget to season lots!

    Thanks. I wish I could say I turned 27 but alas...I cannot. Today was roast beef sandwiches. Very good. Forgot to use my homemade chipotle ketchup with it, though! Tomorrow...

    Lisa, that looks yummy!!!! And so spring-y with the yellow daffodils. To go with encore roast beef from last night I made poutine with delicious lactose-free mozzarella that actually is cheese - not soy or any other product masquerading as cheese. Honey roasted carrots and more Eton Mess from last night.

    Today is my birthday! I'm having all sorts of yummies to eat today (especially for dinner). For lunch I made thin crust pizza topped with spinach and feta. Lactose-free cheese and chocolate milk.
