    That is so true! Knowing you can in itself is reassuring. I can have some aged cheeses but not milk or new cheese or ice cream. I was able to have all sorts of dairy in Italy and Croatia but am limited here. Hopefully that will change soon!

    ...and that is a huge accomplishment! Enjoy your ice cream!

    How about swirling some into meringues or pavlova? This may sound odd but I promise it is delicious - I make rubs for beef with cocoa powder and spices. I also add some bittersweet chocolate (don't see why you cannot do the same with powder) to my chili, etc. Or make a yummy mole sauce. It is also nice mixed with equal amounts of granulated sugar...

    That is awesome. It is heartwarming to read stories like this. In our world it unfortunately seems to be an exception when it should be the rule. This is my first gluten-free Christmas and we are going to my inlaws for it. My husband called his mom about my requirements, cross contamination and so on and she is so eager to provide me with something...

    Crowds are truly not my thing, either. I do almost all my Christmas shopping in January when the sales are on but after the crowds have disappeared. Eleven months early but it sure feels great! I am a very precise and careful shopper and am not satisfied until I find that perfect such-and-such item - things that most wouldn't think of so people have absolutely...

    I always make my own dressings, vinaigrettes, etc. as they are so delicious, quick and easy. Instead of the ubiquitous lemon juice why not try pomegranate molasses, miso, grapefruit/tangerine/orange/lime juice for the acid instead of vinegar? Different oils are fun to experiment with such as walnut, toasted sesame, hazelnut... You can also make your own...

    I only get the authentic Sri Lankan stuff - there is a huge difference in flavour. Regular ground cinnamon? Meh. The real thing? WOW!

    I had no idea! Thanks for posting this information. Thank goodness I almost always make my own pasta.

    I like to purchase whole cinnamon quills and grind/grate myself. Same with nutmeg and tons of others. Better flavour, anyway. Not in bulk, of course.

    The IC is AMAZING. Sometimes they get in exotic mushrooms, fresh figs, etc. It is where I stock up on most of my cool stuff.

    Me, neither. I probably made one of the dumbest of all time mistakes as a newbie. I was diagnosed by bloodwork 4 days prior to a trip to Croatia and I was shocked as I was not expecting those results. I thought I was going off gluten properly but turns out I did not at all. Guess what I did in Croatia? I had their infamous soup with pasta and beans...

    As am I. I have no idea.

    I would try the Italian Centre (there are two locations in Edmonton) as they have several brands. I make my own pasta by hand so am afraid I cannot help you on many brands! However, when I was first diagnosed, I recall trying some corn pasta that was horrendous as was some plain white rice pasta. What I disliked about corn and rice pastas was the flavour...

    Oh, darn it. That is horrible. You know what? I had extreme nausea, cramping, D, etc. for a couple of months and discovered it was a bacterial infection. After a bout of antibiotics (along with doubling up on my probiotics) it disappeared. I, too, carried a bag around everywhere I went. Vomited in the park more than once - thankfully there were trees...

    You are kind. Did you have a better day today? I look forward to the day you are WELL! We will all celebrate with you.
  17. love2travel
    That is fascinating! Cultural foods enthrall me - I love to hear about what other cultures do. It sounds absolutely delicious!

    ...hockey pucks mystery "gag" gift kindling for fire Seriously. When first diagnosed I made the mistake of purchasing horrid gluten-free bread. It was so bad that I could not even use it for croutons or stuffing so I pulverized 'em to use as crumbs which I heavily seasoned in an attempt to salvage what I could. But I'm pretty picky about such...

    Yeah. Oops!

    Me, too. She gives me hives and diarrhea. I never could swallow her condescending tone and nauseating personality. She has always been one of my least-liked celebrity cooks of all time (others including Rachael Ray, Giada de Laurentis, etc. Don't even get me started!) This newest information aggravates me even more! She is in a position of authority...

    You are more than welcome - I know how badly you wanted such a recipe! It is soooo worth making.
  22. love2travel
    Tonight is (mostly) Italian: fresh homemade pasta (fettucine) - it is absolutely delicious and reheats beautifully with no clumping slightly spicy marinara sauce pistachio pesto fabulous focaccia bread And not Italian - blackberry trifle with meyer lemon curd
  23. love2travel
    I'll add another to the list - Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake. I will be making this for Christmas. Open Original Shared Link

    I concur. Indian desserts are divine!
