Secret agent Chef Penguin reporting for duty!

During class today, my chef instructor told us all an interesting tip for keeping held scrambled eggs from turning to rubber while keeping them at the required temperature for keeping held eggs. Add in some bechamel sauce. As you may or may not know, bechamel sauce is made from a roux of butter and flour. Wheat flour. Thought I'd let you...

Holy cannoli! This might even be weight watchers friendly!!! *searching for garfava flour*

Misson chips and rotel (for you non-southern types, velveeta and rotel tomatoes heated together) Spicy nacho doritos Coke Peppermint ice cream Great, now I want them all

Here's a secret my ob/gyn told me: Seasonale is Mircette packaged differently. If your doctor allows it, you can take off your patch after 3 weeks and then immediately put on another one, and repeat the process for 3 cycles. As long as you have a constant flow of hormones, you won't get your "period" You don't get a real period on bcp's, you get withdrawl...

That depends on how bad your malabsorption is, but I always had the pill work whenever I was on it. As in, I didn't have any babies I certainly absorbed enough of it to get the side effects!

The only gluteny part of nearly any gumbo recipe is the roux, so substitute accordingly. a roux is: 1 part flour to 1 part butter Melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour, cook, stirring constantly, around 3 minutes or so until you have a hot bubbly paste. Add liquid as called for by the recipe and you're in business...

I make roux all the time with my standard blend: rice, potato, and cornstarch. It works beautifully every time. That's awesome about Drew Brees though!

Yes - untreated autoimmune disorders can lead to others. For example, I have gluten intolerance and Crohn's Disease.

Yeah, I'm so looking forward to those infusions! At least it's not a pill everyday, right?

Thank you!

I'm sorry, but at least you found out while he's still young and his habits aren't set in stone!

Yes! I'm in 3 pairs of socks, pj pants, a sweatshirt, and a quilt. Stupid shoddy Texas insulation. At least I got my birthday off of work Yeah, I had D that wouldn't go away entirely even on a gluten-free diet, and I started getting a burning feeling in my intestine just under my navel, and I went through a couple weeks where I couldn't...

Hi all! Yeah, yeah, I've been conspicuoulsy absent but we won't discuss that, now will we. First update: Yes, I definitely have Crohn's Disease. The colonoscopy (boy, that was fun!) showed the tell tale lesions of Crohn's on my ilium, although biopsies did not show the particular cells that are the gold-standard for diagnosis. The doc had me gene...

Good luck, Molly!
