    Can you send that breeze this way? We've gone from spring to summer here! We're in the 80s now and sunny and just too hot and icky for me. I love the 60s and maybe low 70s, but now being outside just saps my strength and leaves me beat. Going to have to get up pretty early tomorrow to beat the sun to plant corn.

    I've said it a million times, and this doesn't help with making your own, but I only eat Venice crusts. They are gluten, dairy, soy and egg free. They taste amazing and it doesn't involve smearing or spreading a crust onto a pan, which I'm gonna be honest, offends every sensibility I have. Of course, you pretty much have to pay out the nose for them too.

    I grab hot pan handles all the time. Like at least once or twice a month. I swear my husband must think he married an idiot. At this point he is over the sympathy and his response is usually "hot things are hot." This would also require our kids to be multiplying like rabbits or tribbles in the schools. Also not good.

    I have never left a job that I had insurance at without having coverage for 30 days following. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, just saying it has never happened to me. It was always my understanding that they have to give you time to find COBRA coverage. ETA: I may go down in flames for saying this but here goes. If you doctor and the hospital has...

    Levoxyl is just the brand name of levothyroxin right? There are a ton of companies that make it as a generic and I am sure a ton of them are gluten free. Just ask the pharmacy you usually use which generic they have and call the manufacturer. It seems silly imo to switch medications because the brand name will no longer be available, when there are a variety...

    I think this is a great point. Mother's Day isn't just for the mothers who have biological children, but for everyone who has ever mothered. Many may never have their own but are still every bit a mother. Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

    It is hard to say if it has had any effect on the number of people who are genetically predisposed who go on to develop the disease. An interesting article though shows that people have been dying of celiac for thousands of years. Open Original Shared Link

    When it is late at night and I want a snack and everything is either more effort I am willing to put forth or doesn't sound good, I have a glass of milk. It is always safe, satisfies my hunger and will get me through til morning when I feel like making something. Unless I were in a life and death situation, I will go hungry 100% of the time before I will...

    Skipping real cooking today. I seared a roast beautifully and threw in it my crockpot this morning and am totally off the hook besides a veggie, some taters and some gravy. Easy peasy.

    The problem inherent with this idea is the shipping cost. What it costs to ship to you is not always what it will cost to ship to other people. Where it is shipping matters. Additionally, prices change so frequently, as do products and availability that maintaining any resource of reasonable size, lets say even 100 common products would be absolutely mind...

    I won't get into an argument here on the intelligence of mercury in vaccines, but with one exception it is only in multidose vials as a preservative and can be easily avoided by simply requesting a prefilled syringe injection. As for other preservatives, anyone can contact doctors and pharmacies in their area and see which brand is available and if it is...

    I thought my headaches were tension headaches. I even got the telltale tension in my neck and shoulder to go with it as proof. I look back now and realize I had this condition a long time before it hit the critical vision problem stage. The test is a fairly simple lumbar puncture which is only necessary if the problem is bad enough to be in danger of permanently...

    Late to the party with this one, but for anyone in Utah near a Harmon's I picked up Udi's bagels tonight for $3.99. The bread was in the same freezer in an endcap so I think it was also on sale, I didn't note the price though. I actually had a coupon for $2 off an Udi's item so I got my bagels for $1.99! I was bouncing all the way to the front of the store...

    I am always loathe to jump in and say hey, that sounds just like my issue, but if you are quite sure blurry vision, and visual disturbances that could be mistaken for an ocular migraine are linked to what you eat, that sounds just like an issue that began last summer for me. I ended up being diagnosed with something called pseudotumor cerebri, which is not...

    Too funny!!!

    There are many blood pressure meds available, they need to find a different one for you to be on. If it gave you a rash, and quickly, that is an allergic reaction. Sure, it is a rash now but that doesn't mean the allergic reaction could not suddenly become life threatening. No, you don't want a stroke but you also don't want anaphylaxis either. I agree, go...

    I've been through Vail a few times. Once was at night in the snow and it was magical and surreal. Oh... and scary as hell on those roads! Tonight is grilled chicken breasts, I'll think of something or other to season them. And probably some fried green beans and some oven taters. I am still positively exhausted from a long week. Hopefully I will fare...

    I've had that stuck in my head since I first saw this. He would make a crostata.... obviously.

    I am gluten free, low tyramine and low histamine, which translates to soy free, msg free, preservative free, artificial color free, I can't just eat eggs willy nilly, plus there are literally dozens of fruits, vegetables and meats I can't have. (I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff! ) I am also on a very very fixed and low grocery budget. I eat mostly fresh...

    They have to have ingredients for the limited release product. It isn't like updating a website is rocket science if they end up changing it. But if they weren't ready to roll out with it in a few weeks, and weren't sure a product was good, they wouldn't have announced it already. Which means that at this point they do have what they believe is a good product...

    Testing, and passing that cost on to the consumer would be positively moronic, when they say flat out that they handle absolutely no gluten containing ingredients. What they are saying is that they are making a product that is naturally gluten free, and therefore testing would be a complete and utter waste of everyone's money. No caution needed.

    Apparently I got the condescending @ss in their customer service department. I guess at least he had the decency to use my actual name. "Dear Ms. ****** Thank you for contacting us concerning Pillsbury gluten free products. We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. These products will not even be available in stores until June or...

    I see a fair number of restaurants say right on the menu that they handle gluten containing ingredients in the kitchen and that while they will take every precaution they can not guarantee that there will absolutely not be CC. In this sort of instance you would automatically be SOL as they would probably point that out to you and tell you they are very sorry...

    Probably due to being in the middle of nowhere. I grew up in one of those middle of nowhere places, thanks but no thanks!

    I thought immediately of muffin pans. I swear I feel some days like 95% of the recipes on Pinterest are crescent rolls in a muffin pan. Without ready made crust type objects available, the convenience of the recipe is right out the window so what the heck is the point? Rolling out and cutting is about a billion times faster than making, rolling and cutting...
