    This kind of recipe appeals to me - the trickier the better. That and recipes that call for hard-to-find ingredients reel me in but that is a different story. Puff pastry and phylo are two things I have yet to make gluten free but do plan to.

    Wonder if we will get it in Alberta? I have had basil lemon sorbet but not ice cream. Just love the tart combination. Same with rosemary and thyme sorbet. Sounds maybe more like gelato - gelato flavours actually taste like the real thing. I've probably had gelato 100 times in Italy and my favourites are always the tart puckery flavours such as limone...

    Our oil community is extremely wealthy. Perhaps I should get with the times. Thirty five dollars an hour seems like a lot to me but it would be sooooo worth it.

    An unclean house actually stresses me somewhat - I look around and wonder, where do I begin? Daily pain is so hard. I have not had one pain-free day in 4.5 years and it is getting old now. My husband tries to help out but his job is unbelievably stressful and he works 80-hour weeks often. He comes home exhausted. Thankfully this is not a financial...

    What? How the heck do ours charge 2.5 times that much? One charges $30!!!

    With my constant chronic pain, many cleaning duties are very difficult or downright impossible. Our house is not as clean as it should be. So, I am going to hire a housekeeper to do spring cleaning and then come in each week or alternate weeks. The going rate here is about $25 CDN per hour which seems a bit steep. When I was working in a high level management...

    I am so sorry you are unable to eat out and really hope that changes for you very soon. Good thing you can have some dairy. That would have been very hard in addition to your other intolerances. I know what you mean about Thai products - they are fabulous. I cook Thai often at home with kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, pandan leaves, make my own...

    I must confess I have not made applesauce with papaya but with many other things including vanilla beans, rosemary, thyme, etc. I always roast my apples in the oven to caramelize first which makes the flavour even that much more wonderful.

    Another question for you - did you squeeze the daylights out of the ricotta? It must be firm with absolutely no liquid. Even a little can make a difference. I strain mine overnight then squeeze using a cloth.

    I make my own ricotta for my ricotta gnocchi. I think you may need to add more flour to keep them together in the water. They are worth re-trying as they are so incredibly light and gorgeous! I don't really use a recipe otherwise I would post. Have you tried sweet potato or butternut squash gnocchi? Wonderful!

    Unfortunately the nearest Whole Foods is probably about 2,000 miles away BUT we are supposed to get one only about 800 miles away soon! They sound very good. I have heard a lot of excellent stuff about Against the Grain. I know what you mean about calories - by the sounds of things, I could quite easily polish off a few dripping with butter at one...

    How nice of you to check it out! It is a pretty city, actually, with a lot of trees. It is a joy to visit for many reasons but it is far prettier than my town. Oh, well. You can't have it all! You wouldn't like the climate but this year's winter was the warmest on record I believe (at least it was where I live). The snow is melting quickly!

    My loaves must have been squished because I compared. You are right about the loaf size - they are larger than Udi's. I much prefer them to Udi's as well. Glutino is still good (the largest slices) but these Kinnikinnick ones have them beat I think. Oh, yes - the pizza bun! I tried one of those, too, and it was good. Edmonton has certainly come...

    My husband took me to Edmonton for our monthly blissful culinary shopping spree and bingefest. After reading reviews and information on Brit's Fish and Chips, I became interested. Fish and chips is something I thought I may never eat again. Sure, it is something that can be made at home but deep frying is something I rarely do. Anyway, the menu is...

    I was recently in Edmonton where Kinnikinnick has its store and bakery. I was curious about the new soft bread so am writing a bit of a review on that and the baguette. Soft bread - it really is soft. You actually do not need to toast it (for 22 minutes!) before you eat it. It actually holds together. The slices are Udi size, unfortunately. However...
  16. love2travel
    on both counts. I will never, ever forget that 22-minute toast. And at 22 minutes it was not even brown - just sort of beige here and there and sort of crusty but not really. I bet to get it nice and toasty it would have taken 31 minutes.

    Excellent! Hope you like it. It is a different way to prepare salmon and use the rice paper.

    I love Thai Spring rolls about 100 different ways; with ground pork, shrimp, chicken, duck, scallops, lobster, ground chicken, beef, lots of veg and lemongrass and vermicelli, toasted peanuts, black sesame seeds, etc. Though I am not a fan of Martha Stewart by any stretch, this is a good basic shrimp wrap recipe from her website (though it is by Donna...

    Only too glad to help, IH! Sure, make me look like the food snob I am. No cafe/bakery anywhere around except the Kinnikinnick one in Edmonton. Oooooh...I almost forgot. They have reformulated their bread. It is now SOFT! No need to wait for 22-minute toast. I tried it the other day and it's true. It did not fall apart, nor did it become...

    YUP!

    We do live parallel lives in ways, don't we? Nothing wrong with enjoying the best food possible and being able to do so safely at the same time.

    Think of how awesome it will be when you take your own homemade cookies to work that taste exactly like gluten cookies or better. My favourite chocolate cookie recipe follows: Open Original Shared Link They are the BEST EVER! People cannot tell they are gluten free whatsoever.

    Just thought of another - big, puffy yeast doughnuts. Not the cake ones - those are easy.
  24. love2travel
    I've made those, actually, and they were very good. The same choux pastry is used for profiteroles (cream puffs).

    Silencio, as you know, my husband is a CA and he has been unbelievably busy lately. So, I'll try to help a bit. Have you checked out this info? Open Original Shared Link You do not need to submit receipts unless they are required - hang on to them. How do you figure out the incremental cost of the food item? All you do is guess an estimate - you can...
