    I got so excited when I saw the headline that I was pretty pissy when I saw that they come right out and say they make zero effort to even try to keep it safe for anyone. I emailed them saying as much. While the effort could be commendable, they clearly are bandwagoning for profit and don't give a hoot about whether or not it's safe.

    Grilled a trout and some corn on the cob tonight. For some really stupid reason I can't fathom I touched the foil and have a rather large and painful blister right on the end of my right index finger.

    I hope that heals up quick for you. My husband is paranoid about my mandolin and is convinced I'm going to eventually cut something off with it. Sounds to me like a perfectly good reason to eat out for a few days.

    So on Tuesday I had a tooth extraction and proceeded afterward to the store to fill my prescriptions for an antibiotic and painkiller. All I could think about was how it was starting to hurt and how much I wanted to be at home with my lortab, it didn't dawn on me to check on the gluten free status of my antibiotic. (I already knew this pharmacy is safe for...

    Not exactly what I had in mind. Most dental work, had an extraction yesterday. (FUN!!!) I picked up some of that Bob's Red Mill hot cereal which is pretty good doctored up. I've been adding baby food bananas and caramel sauce. Instead of some prepackaged junk though tonight I'm getting all adventurous and making my own caramel sauce. I wonder how many...

    When did you say was a good time for a roommate to move in? I can be packed and out the door in an hour.

    I had some BBQ chicken. I had high hopes for that chicken, it was supposed to be orange ginger chicken. Then I decided on a whim to make jam and didn't have the energy to do more than slap it on a grill. All that can be hanged though, I saw someone mention pavlova in another thread which I'd never heard of before. That was my dessert, it'll probably make...

    OMG that sounds amazing! Do share the recipe please.

    Grilled chicken and au gratin potatoes. I meant to make a colorful veggie but was so distracted by the cheesy awesomeness of my first homemade taters that I totally forgot.

    I... I whined all day yesterday about our dusting of April snow and the flurries and snow squalls all day. It was right around 35ish or 40 and I bundled up in my winter coat and gloves and scarf and still was convinced I'd freeze to death on my 15 minute drive. I don't know how you tolerate it, although mac and cheese is awesome for warming the soul. I think...

    More dental work means another 2-3 days eating soft foods and liquids. I minced up some bacon and fried it up and cooked it in some cream of rice cereal and added a little maple syrup on top. It sounds weird but it really is yummy.

    Had friends over Monday night for my first dinner party since going gluten free. Other than some frozen rolls everything was gluten free, even our brownie sundaes for dessert and they didn't even know! I used up my leftover lamb today to make a shepherd pie that I know my husband won't touch which is fine by me. I'm tempted to say I added too much gravy to...

    I got sick from a cutting board that had gone through dishwasher after being set on top of my husband's pizza stone. What you need separate and gluten free really depends on what it is. I wouldn't go anywhere near a non-stick pan anyone else uses because without fail they seem to always be scratched up, if they aren't scratched I'd think they'd be safe. I...

    Lucky for me I decided to have some sausage for supper, I headed out to the deep freeze to discover someone had unplugged it. I got there just in time, things were defrosted but still in the safe temperature range. So, I made BBQ chicken, bratwurst, chicken apple sausage, chicken pineapple sausage and a corned beef roast. Roughly enough to feed a small army...

    Had some dental work done that's going to keep me on a liquid diet for a day or two. I have some boxed soup or another in my pantry but was feeling good enough (ty painkillers) to make creamy carrot soup which is absolutely divine. It doesn't look appealing, sort of looks like a bowl full of orange vomit but it's so very good. I think I may make more tomorrow...

    I've been getting more and more adventurous lately and I think I almost enjoy cooking. I certainly enjoy eating! I love how many great ideas everyone shares here, it's really helped me overcome my fear of being a failure at cooking. Last night I made some cream soup so I could throw together a cheesy chicken rice casserole. It only took about 15 minutes...

    Those cupcakes look absolutely amazing!

    I was planning on cooking until hubby decided we were having pizza. I called and ordered scared that I was about to have the worst thing I've ever tried to eat. I barely made it to the car with my box of pizza before I couldn't stand it and tried a slice. I almost died it was so good, it tasted just like pizza! I kind of ate the entire 10-inch pie and...

    While feeling a bit more spry, I wasn't up to any real baking. I just used the gluten free Bisquick recipe. The texture is different than what I'm used to in a coffee cake but I find if I knock off that expecting what I used to have and accepting that it's different now I enjoy things for what they are. I'll bet my husband wishes it were the most quiet...

    I've been feeling pretty sorry for myself all weekend since I have laryngitis. I haven't eaten real food in days and wasn't feeling great this morning so I threw some beans in my crockpot and have some ham and bean soup brewing. I'll probably throw some dumplings on it. (Apparently my spellchecker wants to change crockpot to crackpot. ) I was feeling...

    Oh gosh, I'm getting paranoid. My next appointment is tomorrow! So far though in three years this doc hasn't said anything monumentally stupid to me. On the other hand, plenty of doctors have. The most memorable was an ortho. I fell at work straight onto my knees, on a concrete floor. (I didn't drop the pizzas and they were fine to go out to the customers...

    I don't know how you survive without all of us just showing up on your doorstep to be fed. I decided to have pancakes and some leftover sausage for supper, far too tired after work to bother with any real cooking.

    I managed to polish off an entire bowl of orange ginger chicken. The sauce was something I grabbed at the store with the plan to use it with stir fried veggies. Instead tonight I was feeling pretty ambitious and took the time to make Chinese style battered chicken. It was amazing! It wasn't quite as good as take out but that's probably due to cooking it myself...

    So good that I think I'm going to brave making chocolate tapioca pudding sometime this afternoon. You got lucky having such a nice sister, I was never that nice to my little brother. (Then again, he would have told just to see me get in trouble. What a brat.) So nice being an adult and not having to sneak around to get dessert when we want it. It almost...

    I bought the box of tapioca that's by the jello and such in the store, so it has some soy something or other added to it. I'm not sure the same recipe will work with other tapioca since the stuff I have is the Minute crap. I figured I'll master the easy way, then figure out the real deal later. I just followed the directions on the side of the box. If you...
