    Exactly 100 with humidity. This is GROSS! How on earth do you people cope? This is only our fourth very hot day and I am a bit cranky and almost wishing for snow. I do not know what is worse: 100F or -40F. Actually, I still think -40F is worse and we have that for weeks on end. Anyway, did I mention this is gross? I am dripping sweat not...

    Just so you know, you can easily make a roux using gluten-free flour. And if you go to a high-end restaurant, call ahead and they may be able to accommodate you. There are plenty of fine dining places in NOLA. Don't settle for Outback! This is a time to treat yourself. At least one really good place.

    My husband is a chartered accountant and tax specialist and we did this. It didn't really help a great deal - I believe a $400 credit (not a refund). But it is easy for me to track - I keep all receipts and do a simple spreadsheet itemizing everything. Then you just claim what is "reasonable". Revenue Canada cannot refute that. And as stated above, if...

    So dreadfully hot so not cooking lunch. Simply tuna salad with capers on toast. Nectarine.

    Ciao Alyssa, Not sure whether Veronica is still here - I have not seen her post for ages. I've now been to Venice twice since gluten free (at least ten times before that). We now go twice a year. Venice is not bad for finding gluten free but I suggest you do your research first. Venice is very touristy so most people will understand English. However...

    Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. Alas, I did not make the mustard this time.

    Those are GORGEOUS! They look so perfect and plump. What dishes and condiments do you serve them with?

    Capers are pretty common at our house and at yours, too, I bet. I just adore the brininess they add to millions of things! It certainly is not easy doing this away from home. It takes a lot of planning. I did it often last summer as well but brought far more of my stuff here. This time I cooked as much as possible in advance to simply re-heat. The heatwave...

    Oops...sorry. I got a touch carried away again! If your husband likes gaggo, he'll love golden syrup.

    Jellies and jams are other alternatives. Guava jelly on pancakes is very good. Not gaggy sweet. You can also make your own incredibly easy simple syrup that requires two ingredients: granulated sugar and water. Then you can flavour it with other things such as lemongrass, chili powder, keffir lime leaves, vanilla bean, fruit...almost anything. Simple...

    MAPLE!!!!! Golden syrup is richer and deeper than regular corn syrup. It is used in many recipes. I personally do not like it on pancakes and so on because I find it too sweet for that application. But I do use it in baking. It does not have an unpleasant or offputting flavour. Thankfully it is inexpensive should you dislike it.

    I'm dog/housesitting again in the country so brought things with me so I would not have to cook here (cross contamination and so on). So, I'm having: - potato salad (darn it - forgot my capers at home!!) - baby back ribs with a smoked ancho barbecue sauce I made a few days ago - homemade baked beans (again)

    Keep in mind there is dark teff and ivory teff. Ivory teff is nicer in some baked goods but not in injera, of course.

    Your happiness is contagious! I confess I do not really like the bread (I really miss the real thing and likely always will) but the pizza crust is pretty good. Not as good as homemade, of course, but decent. Worth trying, especially if you do not enjoy baking. Having said that, it is a good thing when you find a product you fall in love with...

    One of my favourite snacks is spicy lime roasted chickpeas. They become crispy and so good. How about making your own chips? There is this new product on the market called a Chipster that goes into the microwave. Simply slice your potatoes, season and place on this thing and the chips become crispy. I like to do them in the oven but that requires added...

    We really ARE sisters! Yes, Julia would be very happy with us.

    In addition to using it in baked goods I use it in my fruit smoothies which gives them a nice nutty flavour and great health benefits which is why I use it. My dietitian told me to start using about 1 tsp a time and gradually work up to 1 tablespoon or more per serving.

    Are you talking about grinding your own flours or just using the flours? My VitaMix is great for grinding and like IH, my KA stand mixer is practically a miracle in the kitchen.

    Not as good as oats, but have you tried quinoa flakes? They are nutty like oats and have some substance to go with those dried fruits and nuts.

    Crave chips? You can easily make your own with no added fat on a microwave thinger called a Chipster. You can season as you wish. I bought a thing bigger than a Chipster and it's actually quite nice. Usually I am unimpressed with such gadgets but this thing is very cool. My favourite flavours are sour cream and chive/salt and vinegar. Hope you soon...

    Yes, very! Sherry and brandy - mmmmmmmmmmm. I don't drink much at all but I sure do enjoy alcohol in cooking.
