  1. Thank you so much for posting this, and the reference too! I was put on a very similar diet by my doctor because I got muchbetter but not fully well on a GF diet even if I seem to only have NCGS. My blood panel negative, nurse here told me gluten would make no difference to me; so I went ahead and GF; felt much better but not "normal" yet; doc in Italy...
  2. Hey, if anyone sees flying robots, can they shoot me a message? That would be of interest for me. I made arugula salad with tandoori squid, sliced fennel, and lime vinaigrette. Dessert was hot chocolate and whipped cream.
  3. I have baby romaine with lime vinaigrette and buffalo sirloin. Probably with some kefir for dessert, and a small piece of very dark chocolate.
  4. Was he looking for a date or for an accountant??? I like the missed connections section. Sounds like a very rude British comedy (not that there's anything wrong with that from time to time).
  5. Thank you Loey, that's amazing! Vydor - that story is fantastic, and now I finally have a morally upright justification for my caffeine addiction. YAY! I would also add "coffee" to the survival grocery list So... one of my hobbies is upsetting social expectations on dating websites (it started off as a joke, but I'm often considering making this...
  6. Thank you Loey - and I am sorry you got CC'd. My body is in alert-mode: I think what triggered the puffy eyes was a Neutrogena wash, because soon after gaining sight again I realized that my face was burnt red and sand-paper rough. It b****y hurts. To even have facial expressions. I also have a bright, boil like strip on my wrist, where I carry my watch....
  7. That's really sweet, Loey Second day in a row I wake up with eyes semi-closed by an allergic reaction. WHAT on earth is causing this? The only new thing I ate these nights was coconut butter, but I am usually ok with coconut in any form? I am so, so tired of this. As soon as I think I mastered one allergy, something new comes up. This sucks big time...
  8. Any of the "best men" of this forum still single? Speaking of which - one of my smartest freshmen proposed, was accepted, and is now getting married: darn them kids, they always make me feel warm and fuzzy! Feeling old in the age of Facebook.
  9. Only if there's someone to read it, I suppose. And provided it's not a hanging quotation. The younger colleagues that came observing my class today were blown away. I'm pretty proud of myself.
  10. Oh, I have been all over the place yesterday, left early in the morning for a ballet class, went studying in the park, then to a lecture, then on the other side of the city for a meeting, and then on the other side again for dinner, and then 40 minutes back home. I think I was out for something like 15 hours. I just washed and folded three huge bags of...
  11. Thank heaven, I though I was the only one on these boards! I can't drop TV references, but I can drop music references, and my students started using the phrase "walking in [someone's] shoes" in our seminar when we talk about empathy. *swoon* You saw Waters in The Wall?!?!? That is like 50 shades of awesome! Where did you go to college? I think...
  12. I am sorry you feel so miserable; but glad the pain left your powers of description unscathed. I think it was not the exercise, but the temperature. Cold, even if you were well-wrapped, is never good for cramps. I am one of the lucky folks for whom the "exercise prescription" worked: I'd do a round of crunches and leg lifts and I'd be as good as new...
  13. Totally was: that's how you raise kids if you want them in grad school LOL! I am very excited about this.
  14. <------------ THIS. Meaning my avatar. I was brought up listening to Depeche Mode: pretty somber for a toddler, but hey, my brothers also read Poe and Lovecraft to me, so I guess that fits the picture. Synthesizers were my favourite toys when I was four or five (we had some around the house).
  15. 'shroom, I LOL'd... I always visit home (Italy) in the Summer, so it's really just a question of driving across the country. I got fed up of waiting for the announcement of the American leg of the tour, and worried there wouldn't be a NYC date in the Fall - which would have meant no date for me, since I have to teach in the fall - so...
  16. I can haz ticketz fur mi favorite band in Rome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D
  17. I am afraind that nuts are out, too. :(

  18. Glad to help I think you will have to play around a bit with the proportions: coconut is high in fibre and absorbs a lot of moisture, so it requires more egg than almond flour. I simply poured the mixture in my donut pan. I know that's not how you make bagels, and I used to make-boil-and-bake my own back in the days, but I personally don't think I could...
  19. Coconut, since I cannot have almonds because they make me drowsy. I think it was 55 grams of coconut for 2 cups of egg whites - plus some salt, baking powder, xantan and psyllium... You get six 6-inch bagels. The texture is a bit odd if you are looking for a chewy, dense bagel, but I am not fan of chewiness, so I appreciate their crunchy, golden crust and...
  20. Hugs Nikki ... I have ordered a professional baking pan for donuts, it's heavy enough to classify as self-defense weapon. If you need it, it's yours. Just stress management, you know...
  21. Thanks for confirming I hadn't turned into a poor reader. I'm the same way, too: I have experienced (and so have others I know) real benefits/healing from non-chemical treatments - and by real I mean measured and recognized by conventional medicine specialists. But in my case those who prescribed these therapies were all in the "regular" medical profession...
  22. I'd really like to hear others' opinion on Dr. K, too, and on his book. I can't seem to find infos for his MD degree, though...
  23. I love Lysistrata! We did that as a ballet piece when I was about 10-11. Quickly adds that to the list of childhood trauma that made me what I am now.
  24. Celiac Mindwarp, my favourite crazy class in college was my romance philology course. 10 hours of classes per week. Not kidding - part of it was learning, well, philology, part of it was figuring out languedoc and other essentially dead languages, and part of it was literature. This last part, 6 hrs per week, was on Medieval comic literature - just about...
