    I had to make a difficult decision this afternoon. I could frivolously spend money on either In N Out or I could blow it on a pedi. Guess who is making her own burgers with killer awesome pink toenails?

    This isn't even our big one, this is the rinky dink little food fair thing down in Utah County. There will be a HUGE event this fall up in SLC that will probably draw national attention since Jennifer Esposito will be the keynote speaker. That is the one that I'm super stoked about.

    Those look positively awesome! Crab cakes were always one of my favorite things too. I can almost imagine myself making those.

    The people at your local Costco aren't going to know that sort of thing. You need to call customer service for this, they're the ones who have easy access to the information. My personal policy is to never go shopping without a fully charged cell phone in case I run across something I feel I need to contact a manufacturer about.

    Eight am phone calls from clients in panic to wake me up? Yeah, sure, why the hell not? Vet at 11 for sick cat. Dentist at 12:30 for pain. I should have been to the dentist on Wednesday but I blocked off most of the week for this huge project due. Tomorrow is the GIG gluten free fair in Utah, and lucky me it is in my city. I don't think I would have the...

    Does it really even get warm enough for mosquitoes there? I just wandered in the door from working all afternoon, evening and night. Screw chicken whatever for dinner. I'm eating that pig because I have about as much energy as a half dead slug and cooking is not on my list of crap to do. Beyond that, I am mentally exhausted. Ugh!

    I don't know where found him but I hope I have that much spunk at 50. I think I'm probably well on my way though.

    Bacon bacon bacon bacon.... lalalalala is it next week yet? Is it inappropriate for me to call stores every day until they have them?
  9. Adalaide
    Invite them, just make it perfectly clear that they are NOT to bring anything. Assuming of course you are okay with providing food for that many. I do this at my house, and people are always asking what to bring and I know lots of people after being told nothing bring something anyway. Just make it clear that they are truly to bring nothing, and if they do...

    I've been debating this myself as I have a picnic/pot-luck to go to next month. It isn't like I haven't had lots of time to decide, but I'm still on the fence about so many things. Even though I probably shouldn't, I'm very tempted to make mac & cheese. (I shouldn't have that much cheese!) I'm also thinking mini apple muffins, or mini cupcakes (filled...

    I have four cupcakes left, so I need to make sure those get disappeared before the end of the day. No worrying about pounds here today! I don't feel any worse today than I did yesterday even with the ham and Brazilian cheesebread last night, so I'm as much a happy camper as can be this morning dragging myself from bed. That said, I've got my aches and...

    Just a heads up to anyone in Utah that this Saturday, the 15th is the Gluten Free Food Fair in Orem. It was a blast last year and this year is bigger and at a new venue, so should be worth a trip to Utah county even if you aren't directly from the area. We had vendors from all over the state and even some from out of state last year. It is at the Hamptom...

    omg men are worse than toddlers when they're hurt or sick. They take one of two routes, either "I'm fiiiiiiine" or "oooooohhhhhhhh I feel like I'm gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!" And they'll lie like a brat with a hand in the cookie jar the second they're doing something they shouldn't. Good luck with that tomorrow. You could always tie him to the chair or handcuff...

    That seems pretty common around here. We're all going to smiley face jail. You know it took me a while to realize that today is actually Wednesday. I'm a little slow sometimes. So Happy Birthday Mr. Ski! And Irish's dad too. I guess it was a good day to be born.

    Every time I see/hear this phrase all I can think of is that someone is about to get pounced by a velociraptor. Generally the person saying it. And yes, game face works! I spent (and I know you did and many of us did) too much time where there was no game face to be had. So screw this feeling bad bulls$#& on a day I have plans.
  16. Adalaide
    So far so good with the plans today. The cupcakes are amazing. (I may have had a cupcake for breakfast. ) I had spare time about noon to make chocolate chip cookies because I am apparently a masochist. Ham is in the oven now. Now all I have to do is wait for the ham to come out, throw in the taters and cheesebread and get the corn and/or carrots cooked. ...

    Even though I live in a house with 3 gluten eaters, I use the kitchen more than probably all three of them combined. So, to that end I have half of the counter space designated as fully mine. The remainder gets used communally, it is the long and useful space that separates the kitchen from the dining area. When I use it I wash it twice then use a sanitizing...

    That sounds like a fantabulous evening! He is one lucky dude.
  19. Adalaide
    Oh sure, just come on over and we'll pig out on them. I'll even let you lick frosting off a spatula, because that is a cure for all sorts of ills.

    I'm home alone without a husband this evening too. I just threw together a salad and burger for dinner. Apparently my errand yesterday (on a cloudy day damn it all!) out driving somewhere half an hour away for something that suddenly came up has left me getting ready for company tomorrow while I wish I was in bed all day. At least at this point I have...

    GAH!!! I've been calling local stores and NO ONE HAS ANY! But one guy told me he was going to try to get some and will call me back. Ok, so should I be eating these? Probably not. I don't even know what is in them besides cheese which doesn't agree with me probably. But... omg goldfish! I'm like a 5 year old suddenly.

    Welcome to the club! My chart says I'm uncooperative. This happened when he couldn't diagnose me but was insistent that I accept and fill a prescription that he was sure would help. A name brand prescription. In the time I had been in the waiting room two drug reps had been into his office. I know why he was pushing the drugs, and it wasn't for my benefit...

    You can find statistics that say pretty much whatever you want if you try hard enough. Open Original Shared Link Here it says 1 in 10, so 10%, suffer from Refractory celiac disease. Open Original Shared Link This one says that the intestines of up to 60% of patients never completely heal. "In one study of 241 Celiac Patients – small intestine m...

    I would be nervous about it, and frankly... I'm not into sharing appliances with strangers... but I'm not sure it would be a problem if you made a little foil thing to put your waffle on. But, as was pointed out the microwave is a whole other story. I was sharing a microwave at home with 3 gluten eaters. It was on me to keep MY food covered because the...
