  1. If you come here, just remember that our summers are about 20 minutes long. Or are you talking about our "dream" location? Because if that is so, we do need a pool and all that goes with it! ETA: What on earth happened to my responses? Weird.
  2. An observer, eh? Not actual butchery? It may sound morbid but I actually enjoy butchery - not slaughter itself (did that as a kid with chickens, etc. on the farm) but the anatomy/cuts of animals/birds intrigue me. I'm pretty good at breaking down a chicken and knowing what cuts go best with what cooking method and the internal temperatures. People whom...
  3. Irish, maybe we should force her to do the butchering and resulting clean-up duties. Cabana boy indeed...
  4. Too funny! You're in. My seams are already splitting. Man, I was such a good girl but lately I've been baking up some fattening things. Each time I walk by them they practically leap into my mouth so I can't help it!
  5. I don't know why I am torturing myself, but my craving today is for a coconut milk, mango and raspberry smoothie with a touch of lime juice. It is currently -14C so my teeth will probably be chattering in a few moments...
  6. I agree with Adalaide re arepas. Focaccia bread (easy to make) sliced in half makes great sandwiches, too, as do bagels and English muffins.
  7. Weird - your description of the squash must have sounded great for you to make it. Sometimes food combinations just don't work!
  8. Fresh local plump Italian sausages with sweet and sticky glaze Red wine braised lentils with...ready for it?...bacon! "Melted" leeks (braised in ghee and white wine) I am also making boule bread this morning. It will be great with my homemade raspberry jam.
  9. You'll have to come over with the others as long as you are fit to do some physical work (i.e. shoveling all this snow!). Then I'll cook up something spectacular for your efforts! BTW, one of our goals here is to inspire one another - so, we can inspire each other with what we can cook though we have restrictions. Just goes to show we can eat as...
  10. This is from the same book as above - methods, etc. similar - "Gluten-Free and Vegan-Free Bread" by Jennifer Katzinger. - NOTE: She feels it is not necessary to allow breads to rise as they hit the oven at a high temp then the temp is decreased. 2 T chia seeds 1/2 c water 1 c teff flour 1 c tapioca flour 1/2 c quinoa flour 1/2 c millet flour 1...
  11. Do you like fougasse? I adore it. You can actually shape it. 2 T chia seeds 1/2 c water 1 c teff flour 1 c sorghum flour 1 c tapioca flour 1/2 c arrowroot 1/4 c flax meal 1 t sea salt 1 t xanthan gum 1 envelope (2 3/4 t) active dry yeast 1 1/2 c room temp filtered water 3 T olive oil 2 T maple syrup coarse sea salt for sprinkling 1. ...
  12. I've been to Italy many times and have been told by Italians there every child is screened by the age of six. I wish I had evidence other than that - all I have is from what I have been told whilst in that country. Wait a minute - I do recall reading about it. Will see whether I saved a document of some sort.
  13. Sweet and Spicy Peanut Vermicelli Noodles Steamed Asparagus with Toasted Pine Nut Browned Butter
  14. How absolutely exciting! I adore Europe and am moving there someday, too. I am not familiar with gluten-free stuff in Spain but I recommend your researching the Spanish words for wheat, barley, oats, rye, gluten, gluten free and so on. Also print out Spanish restaurant cards to take with you when eating out. When we travel to foreign countries I print...
  15. Thankfully making gluten-free angel food cake is simple! The following recipe is good. I have others, too, in my books I can post if you are interested. Open Original Shared Link
  16. Tuna salad (with fresh lemon juice, capers, et. al.) on a toasted ciabatta bun (Schar - not homemade this time ).
  17. Greek this evening: - Avgolemongo Soup - Garlic, Rosemary and Lemon Lamb Chops (seared, then finished in oven to medium) - Lemon Oregano Roasted Potatoes - Greek Salad (the real thing - no lettuce in sight!) No bacon...sigh...
  18. That bread is good, isn't it? It and the new Kinnickinnik soft breads are my favourite commercial breads. Worthy of sandwiches and larger than a dime!
  19. You are about to be happy - you CAN have crab ragoons, if you make them yourself. This is a great recipe. The author has a great book out that I have called "Gluten Free Asian". Many gluten-free cookbooks are very annoying and useless because all they say is use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free that. This book, however, gives you recipes for the...
  20. ...even when it hits -26C which is in the forecast in a few days. BLECH! But we have our special ways of keeping nice and toasty.
  21. ...and I am going to cook me some bacon...
  22. Frozen fruit of all sorts - my favourite combination is raspberries, bananas and nectarines. Lately I have been on a black cherry and mango kick. I squeeze in some fresh lime, add milk or coconut milk, my homemade vanilla extract and raw agave syrup. Mine are so thick I have to spoon like soft ice cream. The lime juice and vanilla make all the difference...
  23. What's it called where you live, IH?
  24. Leave it to you to notice!
  25. Me, too. Our Thanksgiving was ages ago. We are having similar to you - I am brasing beef in red wine et.al. for rich, luxuriant Beef Burgundy. We will have buttery whipped potatoes with sizzling mustard seeds and steamed broccoli. No dessert for us - we've been bad. To my U.S. friends, have the happiest of Thanksgivings!
