    I'm sure it is. Does it have milk in it to plump up the ground beef and make it soooooooooooooooo succulent? Must make some soon! This is making me hungry (as per usual).

    Me, too. I'll picture toilet paper covering my arms and legs and my spine wiggling around in there.

    Thanks for the sweet words, bartfull! When my family comes over they do not want to eat out and have their special requests. They expect three fabulous meals a day! The only times my husband and I eat out is when we travel somewhere; otherwise we do not. We just do not want to - there is no need. Cooking makes my heart sing! Heck, I treat...

    My skin was thin as toilet paper and my spine as firm as a wet gluten-y noodle. It will happen naturally. You can still be nice and kind yet firm enough to get your point across without the need to justify.

    Exactly! Sorry you cannot have it.

    Exciting, thrilling, intoxicating... I think you should keep everyone hanging for a bit. Let 'em sweat it.

    My husband just picked me up off the floor after fainting. I didn't respond until now as I did not know what to say about the ketchup! I'll say this - if it happened in my house during the winter you'd be shoveling the driveway. My spaghetti sauce is as authentic and delicious as they come. It will bring tears of joy to your eyes. And it...

    Simple: Vichyssoise Soup with Pumpkinseed Oil (served hot as it is cool out) Beet and Mustard Greens and Arugula Salad with Sheep Cheese, Roasted Garlic Lemon Vinaigrette, Toasted Almonds and Spicy Pepitas

    Me, too. There are so many stories behind dishes - I love reading about them as well as food culture and history. It makes ingredients even more exciting than they already are!

    I always call ahead and ask to speak with the chef or manager. Then they are prepared. Finer restaurants notify their staff as well but whenever we eat out (which is rare) we are assertive but quiet about it. I dislike attention drawn to myself. These restaurants also have many naturally gluten-free items on their menu and rarely have deep fryers. They...

    Tonight I am making: Plump Ricotta Gnocchi with Homemade Tomato and Basil Sauce Deconstructed Caesar Salad Fresh Blueberries - not making them into any dessert!

    This is where you can really shine by making some of my favourites which are easy to make, take and keep nicely at room temp: Honey Garlic Chicken Wings Barbecued Ribs Sweet and Sour Meatballs Marinated Feta Cheese with homemade gluten-free black peppercorn crackers Sweet potato fries and an interesting dip such as blueberry "ketchup" Potato skins...

    Basic Brine for Pork and Poultry 8 cups water 1 c chopped sweet onion 4-6 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 c kosher salt (this is really important - salts weigh differently from one another) 1/2 c firmly packed dark brown sugar 1 T fresh thyme 1 T fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1 t hot paprika 3 or 4 bay leaves 3 or 4 juniper berries (optional...

    I have no idea when mine started as I had no idea I even had the problem until my diagnosis which took me by complete surprise. However, I must say that whenever I go to Croatia (where gmo's are banned in most counties) I quickly feel more energized and able to manage chronic pain better. But then it does not help that currently we live only a few km away...

    Hmmmm...sounds a bit challenging. Hopefully things will have improved in the food department by the time you check in next! It is really a pity to be in Lyon and not be able to enjoy anything you wish to. Are you able to see the sites?

    Thai Beef Tacos with Daikon (and other wonderful fillings) with Thai Chile Vinegar Sauce Roasted Eggplant with Fresh Mint and Feta A lovely big mango

    Oh, yum. Tapenades are so delicious! Well, heck. So is the rest of your splendiferous meal.

    That is amazing! They actually had a system in place? Wow. Edmonton certainly has great safe places for us to eat out. Our favourites are Red Ox Inn, Wildflower Grill, corso32, Madison's Grill and, of all things, a fish and chips place called Brit's Fish and Chips. Seriously - they have a dedicated fryer and the battered fish and chips are fried in their...

    I think in your situation testing is crucial. Then if you have celiac you have all the proof you need to go strictly gluten free once and for all. When I was told I had celiac I didn't believe it. The only reason I found out was because my sister is gluten intolerant and I got tested. Talk about shock because I had no GI symptoms or anything I could...

    I'm so glad! We eat extremely flavourful stuff nearly every day of the week. So glad you don't have those restrictions. Oh, the reason for the gluten-free Worcestershire is that Lea & Perrins in Canada does contain gluten but it does not in the U.S.

    You can make your own bloomin onion, fried or baked. I prefer baked as I dislike deep frying anything. I have never been to an Outback so cannot compare but this is pretty darned good. For the Dip: 1/3 cup light or regular mayonnaise 1/3 cup light or regular sour cream 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce (gluten-free version...
  22. love2travel
    Yes, it would.
  23. love2travel
    That is awesome! I was wondering how they would do that and did not know whether it would be safe for those of us with celiac or not. So glad it is. Darn it - we should have gone this weekend! Do they seem to be very aware?

    We do not have Rudi's but I have purchased Udi's. At the time it was almost sort of ok but now I either make my own that I can slice thickly if I want croutons, French toast or Welsh Rarebit if I want. For convenience I buy the new Kinnickinnik soft bread that does not need to be toasted. I find it to be the best commercial bread I have tried. Glutino...

    Mine, too. Aren't they weird?
