    Was going to PF Chang's for early Mother's Day (hubs headed to Germany tomorrow)...but it's UA graduation is tonight and they are booked solid. So it's Blue Fin. Yay!

    Just waaaaaiiiitttt...... I saw one post where an NCGI ate it and got sick. Give it a few weeks.

    Well, I found a "flat iron steak" at the store so we're having some sort of fajita thingies. Hubs is home for a few days before heading to Germany (without me), so we're trying to party it up, Bought stuff to make a strawberry/lemon/ginger ale slushy alcoholic nightmare of a drink, and I think there's some creme br

    I could see the short post, not the long one.

    You may have a FB setting not allowing your posts to be seen by non-friends, or on the web, etc. But I doubt that's the case since one shows up and not the other. You may see it on YOUR profile, but not Domino's because they deleted it, not YOU. You may experiment by posting on a friend's page, asking them to delete it and see what happens. Then again...

    Here's the latest from NFCA on why they did what they did. http://www.celiaccentral.org/celiac-disease-in-the-news/note-from-alice-dominos-gluten-free-crust/

    1) if anyone is serious about tracking this debacle (I find it interesting from a case study perspective) you need to start taking screen shots of the NFCA site pages, press releases, specifically the pages about their certification, twitter, FB. 2) ditto on Domino's site, FB, twitter, etc. You'll notice things.....change. My beef with the whole...

    I can't find an email specific to this issue, but take your pick here http://www.celiaccentral.org/About-NFCA/NFCA-Team-Staff/30/.

    Ok. So I called my local store and told them I wanted a gluten-free pizza. He said ok. I asked about gluten-free toppings and he didn't know and asked me to hold for the cook. I asked the cook about the gluten-free toppings. He said he thought they were all gluten-free. I said I needed to know for sure. So he grabbed his list of gluten-free toppings...

    Hmmm...I edited it and it seems to work. It isn't my blog post - its one I found while reading NFCA Twitter feed. I haven't looked at Domino's FB today but they were deleting huge chunks of posts overnight (Monday to Tuesday). When I last looked Monday there were 700+ posts and there were 100+ Tuesday. The posts left were a mix of positive/negative and...

    I'm absolutely thrilled Domino's is being honest. I don't see the point in doing what they are doing, the way they are doing it -except to cash in on the gluten-free "diet" trend. But I'm very glad they are being honest (they'd have to be, eventually, when people publicly slammed them for glutening them, so yes it was better to be honest). I do hope...

    The Amber designation by NFCA does have a use after seeing what /who they give it to (Domino's bs attempt at gluten-free). It helps me identify where I WON'T eat. So yes, please, restaurants go out and get certified so I know NOT to eat there. Do they have an Amber list? I want it! I can enter them into my map bookmarks under "do not eat there...

    I can't imagine anyone who seriously has an issue with gluten or wheat (allergy) trying it. Perhaps if you are gluten light OR if you happen to have a chain that lets you go in and supervise the assembly/baking and tell them how to do it? I love reading the news reports about this - particularly the phrase "mild gluten allergy". WTF is THAT???
  14. pricklypear1971
    It doesn't even rise to that standard. They aren't cleaning their equipment (so to speak). It's no different than going to a restaurant that is clueless about gluten, trying to order gluten-free, and knowing it will be unsuccessful. It just happens to be pizza instead of a salad, or grilled chicken.... The fact the crust starts out gluten-free is...
  15. pricklypear1971
    Did y'all watch the video? Did you notice the crust is flat like all the other gluten-free crusts? I swear, I've lost my love if pizza since gluten-free crust is flat. I liked crusts that would be thin and bubble up. Dominos wheat crust would do that. It wasn't super thin, though. But it did bubble. I'm not even tempted (no bubble). I keep wondering...

    I'd print out that huffington post article and paste it to their foreheads (or just keep it handy).
  17. pricklypear1971
    I predict it will flop. Maybe not immediately but when they figure out most people who want gluten-free can't eat it, and wheat eaters will not like it (probably) and the "fad" goes away - so will the pizza. Unless they up the stakes and put in a dedicated line for gluten-free at each store - which I doubt. Even then, I wouldn't trust it - given the...

    I have always had a hard time taking supplaments - set off my acid stomach. Then I had to... Iron was a tough one. Honestly. I take Solgar gentle iron and even that made me queasy for a few weeks - then it passed. I never vomited....just felt gross. So you can probably get through it. The nausea is usually temporary.

    Oooh, I did that on my middle finger!!!! The dude at urgent care wanted to put a stitch through my nail. I advised him to use glue if he wanted to live. Hubs threw out the mandolin and I refuse to buy another one. Hope you feel better soon. Yes, it is awkward. I was so happy when mine healed to a certain point.

    Morton's toe. I've heard of this toe trait in my family.... And we are related to...Mortons. Haven't heard about the nasty temper, though. Interesting.

    I had it (or had what they thought was perioral dermatitis). I wonder now if it wasn't dh. I found I had to baby it. Moisturizers and I kept any face creams that were supposed to "rejuvenate" skin off of it. Eventually, it went away. I did have a horrible bout of it while I was pregnant. It went away eventually, I think either after...

    Yes they do, of a sort. Get kickbacks. Drug reps romance them, take them out to very expensive dinners....our son's ped's wife was in a Mom's group with me and she'd let some of it slip. They get them into these coupon things where the doc gives you a coupon with his promo code on it and the first rx is very reduced in price but of course the following...

    Just take it slow and add whiskey or bourbon. Or skip the caramel and go straight to the whiskey or bourbon...

    Hey, are any of y'all on Pinterest? I find a lot of gluten-free recipes and ideas there. If you want an invite pm me (faster than the waiting list).
