    Yea! I eat plenty of dairy but would love to get baguettes locally rather than in TN. The distributor is going to let me know when/where they are in Atlanta area. If you want to find out if they will be coming to a freezer near you, go to www.unfi.com which is United Foods site, which is the distributor. You have to e-mail the person for your region under...

    I got a notice on listserv about this company. There line will be distributed in Atlanta (and East Coast) starting this month (freezer section of health food stores). I have never heard of them and can't find a review on this board about them. They are based in Vermont and make baguettes, pizza shells. bagels and artisan breads in a ded. gluten free facility...

    For anyone attending parties catered by them around Atlanta, thought I'd share my experience with the catering manager on Sat. night at the company party I attended. They knew I had to eat gluten free prior to the evening so upon arrival the company HR person went and found the manager of Puck's catering so he could go over what I could eat. I was able to...

    I'm not sure but you may be able to listen in the archive files. I found the interview to be very well done. Dr Green really pushes the biopsy for dx which I don't think necessary if you have positive blood markers for Celaic but like everyone on this board, people can make their own decisions on that matter. He really talked about anemia (yea! that was me...

    Well as I stated, we didn't sit with the others just me and DH alone due to long wait for a table for 8. So in fact, we didn't tell anyone except the FIL/MIL who rode home with us. They were not impressed with their own meal and could eat whatever they wanted. I didn't tell my SIL yet because she would forget it by the time we came back for another visit...

    Dr. Green's assistant is the one who put out the listserv notice about Thursdays show so it should be at the times specified. I can't wait! I'm not even going to answer my business phone from 1-2. It's like Christmas came early for me this year! All this great media exposure in such a short time. I think 2007 will be the year for that Celiac and gluten become...

    Prgresso also has Chicken Cheese Enchilada and Corn Chicken Chowder that are gluten free BUT most of their soups have MSG so if that bothers you, you'd want to avoid that line. Health Valley has several gluten free soups (crm of mush, crm of celery, crm of chicken) but many on here can't tolerate them and think there may be a cc issue. I love Amy's gluten...

    You beat me to the punch! I was just about to post about this....I'm so excited! I know it's not as good as having a whole Oprah tv show but it's better then nothing! I think you may be able to sign up for a three day or week trial for free on XM site but not certain about that. That's how I listened to the Celiac story on Martha Stewart's Sirius show for...

    Found another gluten-free/df dessert. You can make 123 gluten-free brownies with veg. oil instead of butter.

    My ex-fave Chinese place guy went over my Chinese gluten-free dining card and started marking out everything I could not eat on their take out menu. When he was finished only white rice and some chicken dish made with a nasty white sauce was gluten free. Even the soup contains soy sauce (I make my own at home now) so we either have Chinese food at home or...

    Yes I'm the one who said everyone would have a salad if I had to. But as we didn't even sit anywhere near the others and my SIL thought I could just have salmon plain (no thanks since no sides were okay) I didn't complain. And my meal was very filling (turkey, cheese, egg) and good. I couldn't even finish all of it so the meal wasn't bad, it was just not...

    Oh I just love this thread! When we left town on Wed. am, several homes in our SD had their weaths up on each window, well they were up at least by Sunday night actually. I thought, can you let me have at least Thanksgiving without haveing to see Christmas decor? Skip to Thanksgiving morning when my nephew (his play room is full of toys plus basement has...

    We had a lovely visit with in-laws there over Thanksgiving but Friday night we went out to dinner at The Blue Plate which is about the worst place in town to go if you can't eat gluten. Have no idea why SIL picked such a place as she knows how hard it is for me to eat out but it was my fault for not contacting the place until Friday afternoon to inquire if...

    In the course of 3.5 months, a close friend of mine was shot (by her schizo brother) and paralyzed from the waist down, another close friend was dx'd with cancer (he died a year later) and my sister's first child, my first nephew died the night he was born. They revived him just to give the parents time to say goodbye as he was brain dead.....he had reflux...

    Thanks for all the great advice and tips on what to say. The largest part of the party is actually socializing before we sit down to eat so that should be good. I'm not sure what I'll take for me to eat....contemplated taking lasagne so others would envy me but that seems more trouble that it's worth. I'll take my pecan mini pies which no one will know until...

    Don't ask why the time is so vague since I don't know. All I know is the person filmed for the segment told me it would possibly air before Thanksgiving and so I guess it's on today. I'm bummed as I have to leave shortly for a client meeting. I'm going to try and tape it. This notice came out on listserv today.

    Hey thanks for all the great tips everyone but I found a pineapple cake on listserv that doesn't contain gluten or dairy so I'm making that as I found out the cookie swap can be any gluten-free dessert. I'll let you know if the cake is good (trying it this week) and will post recipe if so.

    Every year my DH's boss hosts a holiday dinner just for his people at his home. This year, the boss is out with heart problems so the event is being held somewhere where the hosts' first language isn't English. Of course I know I have to take my own meal and it's not a fancy event but many of the people there will not know anything about my diet and last...

    I agree with the advice above me. That woman was totally out of line to sign you up for pasta anything and she should be told so. zansu is right - some people get it and go out of their way to accomodate you and you need to thank those people profusely. Not to hijack the thread but Sat. I went to an At Home party (like Pampered Chef) and the hostess...

    I got the bread on Friday at Nutrition Depot in Lawrenceville, GA (got last loaf) and it is pretty close to a cheap white bread for those who like that. I do like such a bread for a grilled cheese sandwich so that's what I'll have next but so far I heated a pc. let it cool and put peanut butter on it. It was quite good. Also, I think this bread would make...

    I would say it's easy to spend at least $30 on dinner if you have an app/dinner or dinner/dessert. You can get a burger with a KK bun and fries for much less I think. Lunch is an amazing value. We still have some greens left over after both having salad left overs with dinner. Dinner reservations are highly recommended at night but not so much for lunch...

    First - thank you Dangerkitten! My Celiac Mother I found out also wants to try this bread. It's interesting you note about the pea flour because the lady who made this bread for our function told me she didn't have one of the flours and it didn't matter - it still tasted great and is good without being heated! This is no joke people. emcmaster - thanks...

    There are other threads about Wildfire on this site, but I want to give the Atlanta location it's own special review since I have only been to that location. I attended a private party last week which was simply wonderful! The ambience, service and food are really something to get excited about. I can assure you there is no better trained staff on Celiac...
