    http://www.occasionalomnivore.com/2009/08/16/msg-free-chicken-and-yellow-rice/ does this work for you? Question---if the "yellow" is coming from saffron--can you just use saffron threads and skip all the additives/MSG in any "mixes" you would purchase? I can't do MSG either and avoid all packaged things for this very reason.

  3. IrishHeart
    that's what I do, too! yummedy yum yum

    There's a nice-looking acorn squash sitting here looking at me right now. I think it's getting baked, with some roasted potatoes and a piece of salmon for me (but sausage for hubs) He won't touch fish. Peter and Kelli Bronski's easy salmon recipe in a foil packet: salmon, red onion, scallions and garlic with an olive oil, agave and lime baste with...

    Oh I see you now! But how far south are you from me??? I live 130 miles from the Mexican border....LOL I made the Rag-out.....OMGEEEEEEEE, it was to die for!!! I am so far Northeast.... you would feel too chilly, sweets! I threw that out there to see what you would say. You ARE in sunny climes, you lucky girl. I am sooooo glad you...

    oh no, point your binoculars more south. That's not me... I was doing something like this:

    mmm, I LOVE sea bass. Hubs hates it, so I only get to eat it occasionally. May I come over? I'll bring cake.
  8. IrishHeart
    well, I'll do the happy dance with you (can you see me? )....the sausage will make it even tastier, no doubt. Enjoy!

    It's day 3 of cold, rainy and gray here in the Northeast, so it's a meatloaf and an apple, carrot & sweet potato gratin kind of day. ooh! and two pieces of that flourless chocolate ganache cake that are stashed in the freezer may be coming out. Diet be damned.

    I do not have a recipe exactly, I made it up as I went along, but it's sort of like this: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Rigatoni-with-Mushroom-Ragu-231652 There's a recipe for one in the Joy Of Cooking too. I saw it online, but I can't post the link here. (it's the A...n.com site and they spam us) The version I made omitted...

    Last night, we had quinoa pasta with portabella mushroom ragout. Tonight (because it is Friday!!)... it's pizza night. Had some of those gorgeous portabellas left, so I made a quick tomato sauce, with basil and oregano and thyme from the garden and sauteed some bellas and shallots and did a 3-cheese pizza. it's baking now....smells okay so...

    Have a safe journey. (and eat a few extra bites of everything for me and describe it to me in full detail later so I can drool on my laptop.) Enjoy yourself, B! xx

    Gee, er,um...thanks, sweets, but no thanks. I have plenty of experience in losing weight the "sick" way and it's not fun. I'll just cut back on the carbs and sweets and wear sweatpants for a few weeks. Seriously, I do hope you feel better soon! xxoo Dinner tonight: Salmon Swiss chard Apples---they are coming out our ears. Most are...

    That's right, A! SORA! Girl, where the heck ARE those muumuus anyway? Geesh, looks like a package sent through the Canadian postal service is slower in coming than a compliment from a mother-in-law. Dinner tonight: lettuce and water.
  15. IrishHeart
    I hope you feel better ADALAIDE!! xxoo I know you will think this sounds BLECHY right now, but if I do not share this, I will burst. I had hub's cousins here for a reunion (as in--- they have not seen each other for 40 years --when they were kids) so I "did it up". Dinner was: Marinated, herbed roasted peppers & goat cheese on crostini. Salmon...

    I think we can all agree on this: if something makes you feel lousy, don't do it anymore. I think we can all agree on this too: just because this reaction happened to the OP, it doesn't mean it will happen to all of us. We could speculate all day long what caused her to feel ill, but we will never know the answer. In regards to the technology...

    Oh, and Irishheart? Just because you mentioned feeling sick from strong perfumes.:-) Am I recalling right that you have issues with sulfites? If that's correct, you might be interested to know that a lot of sulfite sensitive folks react to perfumes. Some have severe reactions, but most I've spoken to say their reactions are mild, often headaches, dizziness...

    This is exactly the case. I did not deny her symptoms at all. I have reread this thread and no one called her a "psycho" as she has stated. I tried to explain what the word psychosomatic meant in terms of the bodily response (it's the same explanation as yours) and I tried to provide a possible and reasonable explanation for what may have happened. ...
  19. IrishHeart
    for one quick second, I read this and thought, "oh, that's me after 1 drink now"
  20. IrishHeart
    May I just suggest something here? The word psychosomatic in medical language does not mean "psycho" or crazy or mentally ill or any other derogatory or negative word. Not at all. This is a misconception. It's a description of real symptoms (a person does not "make them up") that come about from stress or the gut/brain connection from the nervous system...

    well, there are those who would say NO, you can never catch me because I am Chatty McTalksalot. (Sylvia? Karen? LOVE2? --go ahead---I can take it LOL) Anyone with over 501 posts can edit that little section under your avatar. It does not affect your status as an "advanced community member". It's just "decorative". See LOVE2TRAVEL's (she is secretly...

    I am sure many regions are suffering because of the hot summer/drought, but the local farmer here (I'm in upstate NY) did not raise his prices. Still 50 cents an ear. I remember my Mom would pay 10 cents an ear and the produce guy --- who came around on a truck to our street in Boston----would give her a deal: a dozen for a buck.(showing my age here...
  23. IrishHeart
    yum....alfredo!! Not today, however. Meatloaf (the ground turkey kind) Roasted potatoes Corn (before the summer ends and it's gone) and (not me, just hubs)-- a canoli made at the gluten-free bakery/restaurant near us. I am not partaking. I'm not. I mean it. Signed, Chubster McFattypants

    As Peter said, airborne flour can linger in the air and if you did inhale it, it would indeed travel into the GI tract. I felt woozy in the baking section of the supermarket when I was very ill from celiac and shortly after my diagnosis, but in retrospect, I was woozy all the time and so sick, that I cannot state for certainty that it was caused ...

    I found the recipe in The Gluten Free Edge by Peter Bronski and Melissa McLean Jory, MNT but it is also cited here, on her website: http://www.glutenfreeforgood.com/blog/out-west-chili-con-carne
