    Oh sweetheart Rosetapper!! I just have to clarify.....I was addressing LAURA B, the OP.. (because that's her name)--with that silly kidding slap across the face emoticon. I think you saw "Laura "and thought I had "slapped you" But you know that I do send you prayers and wishes all the time and I have been wondering what's been going on with...

    I used to love the traditional sage and apple dressing I made (in the "old days") and I was skeptical about trying this one in the crock pot at Thanksgiving this year, but it was really very good. I was stunned. even my Mom liked it --a lot!---and she is picky about such things. I followed it as written (as I do the first time I try anything) . I used...

    You said it yourself "rookie mistake" and we've all been there/done that! Hope you feel better quickly. Water, probiotics, rest... and as my dear Dad would say "this too shall pass". (literally) hugs, IH and just to make you giggle... Laura B ! don't do that again!. just teasing you, sweetie...you're going to be all...

    .......let's hope everyone got some of whatever makes them jolly--there, that should cover all the bases! If'n I were there with you, I'd be opting for the hot tub....man, this body could use one of those. Many years ago, we decided to go with building the pool (yes, we put it in ourselves) because of course, I was younger, not sick yet nor stiff as...

    I agree, As we heal from the damage from celiac, a positive attitude is essential. No "Debbie Downers", doubters or angry/negative people allowed around me anymore. Works for me!

    Holy smokes! Those orange filled somethings look amazing! The hubs was looking over my shoulder and said "ooh, whose are those? I'll be right over!" I told him he should get started now as he has long walk. Enjoy the toasty jammies and the cookies. It snowed a bit overnight here and I've got a White Christmas. whoohooo Hope you got some too!

    It's those dishes or sauces we create out of necessity--fresh and simple--that are the best sometimes, yes? yaay for you! (learning to punt in the kitchen (and in life) is essential.) Best laid plans and all.... just learned Aunt Ann has a cold and her COPD is acting up, Needs her oxygen tank to sleep, so she will not be sleeping over. oh well ...

    Okay, hon ......whatever works best. I was just sharing exactly what she wrote --in Living Without Magazine ----where she writes monthly articles and recipes---and from what my own personal baking experiences have rendered. I am not sure why she changes her opinion about this from source to source--that does seem rather confusing ?? hmm.. ...

    I LOVE lamb, (not a mint sauce fan, though) but alas, no one except my beloved Dad would eat it so....that is not what we are having.....man, bummer... anyhoo....Going to be a bit busy tomorrow with hub's aunt here (she is an 85 year old sweetheart who loves her manhattans) so I am making her what SHE likes. I do love her so! Dinner for...

    Eggs are gluten free, hon. Many of us have trouble with eggs, but it is NOT because they contain gluten. What you are reading is just that--people's opinions and endless speculation. We have discussed this topic to death on here and I have searched long and hard to find any scientific evidence that gluten grains somehow pass through a chicken...

    In addition to Rosetapper's excellent thoughts, may I suggest reading a copy of Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo J. Libonati. I think she really wrote it for health practitioners, but it is in layman's terms and I found it incredibly informative. It helped me understand what had gone so horribly wrong in my own body from long unDXed celiac disease...

    Not only do you spend less money at the store, but ANYTHING homemade tops store-bought. I know any minute LOVE2TRAVEL is going to jump in here and shout "AMEN" to that.........

    it's coming to you! believe it.

    I just saw this thread (sorry to be so late) and wanted to say WHOOHOO! to getting your mojo .....and your groove.... back, MW. (sorry you have the flu right now, but that is just a crappy part of life and soon you will be "good mojo-ing" once more.) Addy will make fun of me now for making up another word. I "get" why those days of feeling...

    Their website claims " It is the first beer to be certified gluten-free by the US Government. Each batch we brew is tested for its gluten contents before it is bottled and shipped." Sounds like the same disclaimer as on any certified gluten free product. Not sure how anyone can say with certainty that a particular 6 pack is cross contaminated. I have...

    I use X-gum or guar gum interchangeably without problems. From Beth Hillson, who is the Food Editor of Living Without Magazine (she is also President of the American Celiac Disease Alliance as well as the founder of the Gluten Free Pantry line of products). She wrote this: If a recipe calls for xanthan gum, can I use guar gum instead? This...

    This is good news! "Not cancer" is always good news. I am sorry you have to be operated on( as the other option is less invasive), but if it gives you any encouragement at all, my (then) 82 year old Mom had brain surgery for a dangerous subdural hematoma. She had a few weeks of a b%$@#in shaved head hairdo that we threatened to dye purple ( we were...

    Absolutely! I'd rather spend $$ on kitchen toys than on clothing, shoes, makeup or any of that girlie stuff.. Besides books, the best food prep /cooking/baking equipment there is--is a necessity of life! IMHO Do not feel guilty, hon. Do you work hard for your money? YES! Well, it's yours to spend any way you wish, as long as you are not squandering...

    Actually, if you are the one to "coin it", you get to determine how it is spelled. Through usage, any word can become part of the vernacular.(sadly) Yet, some are pretty cool. And, I did not make up this word Redunkulous: http://www.urbandict...erm=Redunkulous Sorry you are feeling yucky, Addy and I hope you recover quickly. xx This...
