  2. o kristen i'm so sorry! praying you will have good news. it could happen - a friend of mine actually had one the size of a softball and they operated and removed it and he is still kicking. that was 25 years ago, too, so surely they have gotten better at it. xxoo kiddo
  3. hi, IH ! you are all so entertaining! i have been out of the loop, so catching up again. y'all make me DROOOOL with all your great meal/meal ideas! got home on saturday night, loopy from the plane ride(s), husband made me: butterflied shrimp with creamy wine sauce (prosciutto, mushrooms, garlic, shallots) angel hair rice noodles roasted...
  4. thank you - it was shocking and so heartbreaking. he was only 51. he and my husband were so close (and billy hates everybody lolz) when my poor girl called, all i said was "i'll be right there" and i got there so fast thank God. everyone was sort of hanging around waiting and when i got there, she was able to function. i even got her to eat. there were...
  5. my best friend i've known since kindergarten had the most awesome husband she could ever have. we went all over together, experienced triumph and tragedy, grew up, had kids, grandkids, etc. he had a heart attack 2 weeks ago and died. my girl called and i had to get there fast. so, i packed the dumbest suitcase ever and my sister got me a plane ticket...
  6. THAT is wonderful, kristen! and it's awesome of you to be encouraging - it *is* a big deal some days and especially overwhelming for people who are newly diagnosed. and yay for you getting diagnosed at an early age - you might as well be healthy and enjoy your youth! and much better if you are going to have kids. my daughter (non-celiac) used to get...
  7. om gosh - that sounds divine!!! i'm putting it onto my "if i have time before Christmas" list husband/cabana boy (you guys are overthinking it lolz - they can spritz and deliver cocktails in the summer and shovel in the winter. problem solved!) filled up the freezer with venison so he is going to make deer jerky for Christmas presents. he has his own...
  8. i am poor, too. (husband has worked the same job for 15 years too! and is now *back up* to 2/3 of his pay/work schedule. for now. who knows what this wonderful economy will bring??) it sucks and blows at the same time. but, mcdonalds came 'off the table' when i was diagnosed - out of respect for this wonderful man who watches me spend his hard earned...
  9. welcome back, love2! this is the last of the venison in the freezer he got last year, so i know it is tasty i grew up in northern nj and whenever i ate venison from up there, yes, it was pretty gamey - people would soak it in milk overnight to get the gamey taste out. i was not a fan!! but down here in east tennessee, he hunts up in the mountains and...
  10. (it is from allrecipes.com - i couldn't get the link to post anywhere but facebook lol) - i use it as a guide - i adjust it with yogurt, fresh chives,, dill and herbs when i have them. tastes best when you make it the day before - keeps in the fridge probably longer than i should lol INGREDIENTS: 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream ...
  11. IH - when you're dating a hunting man, you say: venison? i LOVE venison....... fast fwd - pretty soon i had to feed 4 kids lolz shroomiee - that sounds really good! when you say 'salt pork' i am hearing 'bacon' lolz so much talk about the bacon - think i will try it edited to say: i haven't used bullion since i have been gluten-free - any...
  12. i made panko by accident - i use the heels of (udi's and rudi's) bread to make crumbs - i usually dry them out really well in the oven before i put them in the processor. this time i got in a hurry and tried to grind them while they were still really soft and they were clumping up so i shook the grinder so they would unclump and they resembled panko so i...
  13. husband was hunting all weekend, so i ate everything (leftovers) in the fridge and i made a big tray of eggplant rollatini (which he hates eggplant) so i have been wearing that out. he came in last night and we had shrimp francese w/rice and artichoke w/garlic butter. now, he is off trailer-trucking. can i eat the rest of the leftovers by the time he...
  14. sweetie, almost all of us cried in the grocery store in the very beginning - it's true!! i ran out without even buying a thing the first time i attempted to wrap my head around it. one day at a time. sounds like you are blessed with a good, supportive guy. and you are among friends on this forum. they are absolute angels and i would have never done so...
  15. i have been living gluten free for over 2 years now. i am still healing!! so, yes, it does take this long - the reason i know i am still healing is because i continue to improve (even though there are still 'bad' days, they are nothing compared to where i started) i can even navigate 'punctuation' without my hormones completely messing up my system (2...
  16. not a fan = don't like the bean-y taste. i would rather mix my own according to what i am making. but in the 'beginning' it was easy to find and i wasn't as picky lolz i just wanted something to eat!!
  17. i was thinking of trying butternut squash gnocchi (accidentally grew butternut squash lolz) as i have a ton of them (they grew in the compost bin hahahaa they survived the lawnmower ) here's a few nights dinners i made: bratwurst reubens w/homemade sauerkraut (pot cheese & pickles) too hot to really cook that night oooooh! oooooh...
  18. where do you purchase such food of the gods?!! i, too, have only tried the betty crocker - and thought: surely i can find a recipe that won't cost $5 a box and make it myself... i am braver at mixing flour(s) now

  20. i *love* shaved brussels sprouts i make them with prosciutto and shallots - and serve them to people who *hate* brussels sprouts. ("what ARE these; they're so delicious" lolol) sure beats the old Boil Them Til They're Dead method of cooking them - no wonder people hate them...
  21. i actually *do* have a note finally, i got hold of somebody who was helpful (can you put stuff in your pockets or your purse is what they told me lolz) i can bring a little backpack instead of my purse. NO COOLERS but insulated backpack? evidently, there's a little wiggle room there - YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! smiling alot and wearing a short skirt...
  22. DITTO! except stuck in el paso airport (after already turning in our rental) and facing a layover in dfw that the airline put us up in a hotel at the wee hours of the morning! after learning that trying to find a gluten-free meal (me: do you have anything that is gluten free? hostess: blank stare - deer in the headlights - ima take that as a 'no') was...
