    I'm rather a fan of leftovers from last night's dinner for lunch. It solves the problem of planning (other than making enough to have leftovers) and of actually making things. If that doesn't appeal to you, why not plan your lunches as something you can both eat? That way you only have to plan one thing and it will simplify things for you. Supplementing with...

    I'm far too lazy to re-watch this video to see what supplements are listed, but this woman basically writes the bible on low-histamine stuff and this is a good video on supplements and she's done all the research for us already. Open Original Shared Link I wish I could help you on the food stuff, but to be perfectly honest I also follow a low-tyramine...

    I can not figure out for the life of me why on earth they thought it was a good idea to make a gluten free Girl Scout cookie and not make it a thin mint. Frankly, the decision to go with something else entirely was (imo) the height of idiocy.

    So why exactly am I cold all the time if I'm chubby all over? Someone broke science in my house!

    Brianna's is so amazingly delicious! It is very nearly the only stuff I'll buy. Once in a while (like maybe one or two times a year) I'll get a jar of something in the produce section but other than that I never stray. I should have been at your house for lunch, I just had grilled cheese and banana cream pie yogurt. Which was still pretty darn good. When...

    This counts as part of the medical deduction if you itemize on your taxes. It is difficult to keep track of everything and not worth it for a significant number of people unless they are already itemizing and already at or near the requirements for medical deductions. If you are interested, talk to your tax person when you get your taxes done for the details...

    Mice are jerks too! Oddly enough the whole reason we even have a mouse is because of my SIL's stupid cat. It brings gift mice home... ALIVE!!! The mouse either moved into our downstairs bathroom or it's a new one and we had three out of six traps baitless this morning and no mouse. I'm done screwing around. I'm tying cereal to traps and if it isn't dead...

    I found this recipe this evening. I can't make it right away, but I'm rather excited to try it sometime this winter. It sounds really different and interesting and I'm always up for something new. http://www.yahoo.com/food/the-bread-that-will-change-your-whole-world-73342291256.html

    I usually get it at Wal-Mart. I've also seen it at Rite-Aid but they charge approximately an entire extra limb for it.

    Sounds like tshirt weather to me! Know what's nice about winter in places where pants are pretty much a requirement? Shaved legs stop being a requirement. It has been beautiful weather here. Every day 30s and sunny. So nice to ditch the coat for a while.

    I love Target for buying generic meds! No one else is as awesome at labeling. When I don't go there, I end up spending an hour in a drugstore calling the number on the back of every box I pick up just to buy some ibuprofen or something. My favorite cold/flu medicine though is the only brand name I ever buy, Vicks Nature Fusion... maybe I should check Target...

    I generally don't take pills for pain. Not because of an intolerance, but because I don't see the point when I'd have to be on them all day every day. When it gets bad I try to find alternatives before I go to pills. Just thought that maybe since you can't do corn (which Bart pointed out is in everything) you may want to explore alternative ways to treat...

    I personally love Ancient Harvest pasta, but it isn't for everyone. Because of price I mostly just buy brown rice pasta that holds up as well as Tink but I get 10 pound boxes for about $15. I just buy in bulk from a local store and get unopened boxes, and I get a 10% discount for buying whole boxes instead of out of the bin anyway. I always feel super awesome...

    Nope. It was probably me too, I was just tired and needed a nap! Which I got and am feeling much more like a human now. It can only improve more with some gelato later.

    Testing you after a month was sort of, well... stupid. There was no point in it since you would barely have started the gluten-free diet, and I think all of us who are more than a year in look back at ourselves in our first months and are like "omg I was doing WHAT?!" So first, just calm down about it. Stress surely isn't going to help you at this point....

    That mouse did not magically appear in the house. It got here from coming from the outside, and could get in again if we just put it out. It needs to get dead. Some types of animals do need to be killed every time. I'm so surprised, learning all these new things is actually sort of... fun. I didn't expect it to be and I haven't had any epic failures yet...

    Whether it is celiac or a gluten intolerance, until a person's system has had time to settle down and begin healing it is not at all uncommon to have completely random reactions to anything and everything under the sun for seemingly no reason at all. Maybe it'll be months or years (or never) until you can eat bananas, or maybe it was a one time thing. I second...

    Hey, I'm no bleeding heart. I'd totally kill it if I could. Instead I stood in the middle of the kitchen in tears scared completely witless begging my husband to bring me a stool before the mouse came out and got near me. Once I was safe I said we should lock the cat in the pantry with the mouse, he didn't like my idea. I was also the only pro-poison in the...

    This http://thedeviantcook.com/?p=669 Positively amazing. I am just a little ashamed to admit that today was my first ever shallot purchase. My husband eyed the sauce with suspicion and I assured him there were no onions in it. He was like it's shallots. An unholy hybrid of onions and garlic. I just smiled and made him taste it. He didn't like it but went...

    I found a new doctor that I think I'm pleased with last summer, so this is a recent experience for me. I think that due to the nature of our disease we require someone who will treat us as a whole person, rather than compartmentalizing our symptoms. That said, they also need to not be dismissive and attribute every last thing to celiac as that simply...

    I live in a nice sized city with multiple health food stores and regular grocery stores with good options, so almost none. Even some of what I do online is from a "local" place near where my husband works so he just picks up what I order and I don't have to pay shipping costs. I'm just a little bit spoiled.
  22. Adalaide
    I used to have a rice cooker, but it was a pretty cheap one and I suppose I killed it using it so much. It never occurred to me to make meals in it instead of just rice. Maybe it's time to look into investing in a new one.

    You're hysterical. I don't actually get snow tires, but we don't generally get enough snow to warrant it. Back east or farther north I would. On the night we had a foot of snow and I picked my husband up from work I slid just a little a few times on the way home because... duh. The first time he got a completely panicked look on his face and grabbed the door...

    I've toyed often with the idea of using my flatbread recipe and instead of making a large bread, just making small rounds for burger buns. The problem is that it takes remembering half a day ahead of time to soak and I'm not usually that together on my burger days. Eventually I'll remember. This is the recipe I use, I only make half because I only have one...

    I didn't have it quite that bad. We lived on the border of where we would get bussed after we moved to town, which meant a mile to school. Weather didn't matter, we walked or biked. It was only uphill there for us though. I guess we should be thankful for that! Apparently I've been told that there was good snow all that winter too, not just that blizzard...
