    Nope, when using Pamela's cookies, they're soft enough you don't need any liquid. They've got plenty of fat in them already! ;-)

    First, that is the cutest picture ever! (I have a maroon-bellied conure, myself, and had thought about getting an african grey, but they were out of my pricerange at the time.) Second, yes, talk to your doctor about getting a note to your supervisor. If that doesn't work, talk to your boss' boss, and work your way up. If you're in a chain (it sounded...

    I'm glad it's working so well for you! I'm Gluten-free Casein-free, but find the CF harder than gluten-free. Bread I can deal without, but I miss cheese and yogurt! The two truely CF cheeses are made with soy, like yogurt replacements, and not only am I not a huge fan of the taste, but I try to minimize soy whenever possible and not eat it every day. ...

    Pumpkin Ice Cream - if you have an ice cream maker... I just simmered down almond milk with canned pumpkin (about half a cup pumpkin to four cups almond milk), with a bit of sugar and pumpkin pie spice, cooled the mixture, then followed my ice cream maker's instructions. Pumpkin Rice Pudding - use regular vanilla rice pudding recipes, but substitute some...

    Exact measurements?! Who uses exact measurements?! Seriously, in the case of using store bought gluten-free cooking (I use Pamela's shortbread ones before I went CF), I didn't use any measurements. I crumbled cookies and pressed them into a pie tin until I had a crust. In the case of pumpkin bread for a pie crust, I just make a regular loaf...

    What do you mean "like the usual"? My preference, for any pie, really, is a crumb crust, and you can use gluten-free cookies for that, or gluten-free sweet breads you make yourself. (Pumpkin pie with a crumb crust made from pumpkin bread is tasty! :-) )

    No prob. Basically, make it just like you would bread stuffing, but instead of the bread/broth for it, use rice and the amount of broth for it. Wild and Brown Rice Stuffing with Mushrooms and Onions 1 1/2 cups wild and brown rice blend 3 cups vegetable broth 1 lb mushrooms 1 large onion 1 large carrot 1 celery rib 5 cloves garlic 1 tsp ground...

    You might also try giving sweet rice flour a try, for something more closely approximating the flour or cornstarch method.

    You absolutely have to take responsibility for your own food - if your dad won't speak up, you have to. I know it might be seen as impolite, but you are risking your health here. It's the equivalent of him letting them put rat poison in your food, for you. If he's having trouble understanding, then please have him talk to your doctor. If he's embarassed...

    Just get some masa (corn flour, ground with lime (not the fruit, the mineral)). There's almost always a recipe on the bag. Basically, you add just enough water to the masa to get a firm ball, then you flatten with a rolling pin or a tortilla press (or, if you're a frickin' amazing mexican-heritage mom - gotta be a mom or grandma for this one, I swear -...

    Aw... thanks! Personally, I think this is the BEST way to find foods to eat. Get ideas from other people, books, restaurants, pictures, etc. I own... dear me... too many cookbooks to admit to. It probably adds up to over 20,000 recipes. I think I may have cooked all of 30 or 40 of those directly from the cookbook. But I have gotten a myriad of ideas...

    ARCHIVED Saw My Doctor Today

    tarnalberry replied to Ursa Major's topic in Doctors

    The human body is *very* complex, and with all the things they've learned about it, there's no way a GP can know it all. They're teaching them anatomy, chemistry, physiology, psychology, more chemistry, and the diseases. I can't begin to fathom the amount of information they need to learn, as it covers such a wide spectrum of the human health capacity....

    definitely do verify with the manufacturer. (I believe Lundberg Farm's brown rice syrup is gluten-free, but you'd want to check on that...)

    Yes, one of the symptoms of hypoglycemia is irritability. It can make me really nasty, and I have to try VERY hard not to be a total witch. :-) If I maintain a good balance of nutrients in my meals throughout the day (never too many carbs, and I'm not talking "low-carb" here, just balanced), it's not a problem to go a few hours (5 or 6) without getting...
  15. tarnalberry
    Well, you ALWAYS have to check the ingredients if you didn't cook using gluten-free ingredients. But it's *trivial* to make a gluten-free turkey (don't stuff it, don't use the sauce packets that come with some of them, verify your spices are gluten-free), gluten-free make mashed potatoes (don't use broth unless it's gluten-free), gluten-free vegetables ...
  16. tarnalberry
    You would be better off going to a chain that had a gluten-free menu (like PF Changs or Outback, or a number of other places), or a nicer restaurant that's all about customer focus. (If you're spending $20/plate, you get a little more "pester the chef" room. :-) )
  17. tarnalberry
    First, you CAN go out to eat, and the nice restaurants are easier than the quick'n'dirty chains. So let him know that's not a problem. Second, accept that he doesn't understand. He doesn't have to understand. He just has to cooperate. Cooperation merely takes respect for your wishes, not any understanding whatsoever. Third, "he is complaining about...

    I think it's a couple of factors: 1. they've never heard of it, so they think you're a nut for suggesting it 2. we've been socially acclimated to thinking food isn't *that* central to our health and you're trying to tell them otherwise 3. "take this out of your diet" seems like too simple of a solution for their very complicated problem 4. they've never...

    That is a very common symptom of lactose intolerance. Specific foods may simply not sit well with your system. (I get gas from too many bell peppers...) Try to figure out what items are causing the problem, if any, and eliminate/reduce them.

    I would if I had a biopsy dx, but alas... none for me. Good luck, to all of you trying to get into the study. And thank you!

    I've found Almond Breeze in many stores (including mainstream) in the SoCal and Seattle locations. The rice milk from Trader Joe's is their own brand, so you'd have to go to a Trader Joe's to get it. ;-)

    Put a couple peeled oranges in a blender and add a bit of vanilla (I like to use the powdered for this, or scrape out a real vanilla bean), and you've got something that hints of the taste, while being awfully healthy. Add a milk if you want...
  23. tarnalberry
    Yep, plain ol' brown rice is gluten free. For stuffings, I prefer to go short grain, unrinsed, as you get a bit of starchiness to help it stick together more like a bread based stuffing. Lungberg Farms produces organic, short grain brown rice. (I like using their rice blends for stuffings.)
  24. tarnalberry
    for some recipes, flax meal, soaked, will work as well.
  25. tarnalberry
    at least try looking up a recipe. from what I remember, marzipan is not hard to make at all.
