    corn prices have been going up per bushel due to ethanol push. note prices of corn futures in stock market pages. Farmers are growing more corn to respond, but it's not edible corn..corn just for ethanol.

    You are absolutely right! I make mine in bread machine, but I mix up the water, egg, oil, salt in a large measuring cup. I use boiled water and do not mix the dry with wet ingredients until the "wet" measures about 105 degrees F. I used to go with 99 degrees F but I noticed it made a difference if I make the water warmer. Does anyone else measure...

    Dear Sammers I understand your frustration and you make an excellent point. As a consumer, what would help me then is the phone number for the manufacturer - I'd be very happy to make my own phone call to their Customer Service line. My Mom used to work for a generic firm and that was part of her job: talking to the consumer directly about the...

    sarafina I do not have celiac (hubby does) but I can attest that this sound like gallbladder disease. I started getting ill last year around this time (2/07) and by July I was having gallbladder attacks (about 3 of them) and soreness in my upper abdomen - sore to touch around where the ribcage ends in the center of the abdomen and a band of pain going...

    Judy I am glad you said this because I constantly go into Trader Joe's and feel like I am missing the aisle which has these products....I thought it was me this whole time. It must be that our TJ's do not stock the gluten-free merchandise (I'm in NJ). Deb

    And the killer left the weapon: a loaf of Ener-G bread!

    Are you staying at Disney World? Or in other hotel or someone's home? Disney has gluten-free restaurants in their hotels (so I've heard).

    I can carry all those colors exept for the yellow....burgundy is too dramatic and dark and tan washes me out. You sound like a Summer too.

    It's an attempt to get around the spam filters...same for the misspelled words...spam is looking for the correct spellling....

    About 15 years ago I was fortunate enough to attend a "color" seminar put on by FIT from NYC and was "draped" and found that I had "cool" skin tone (despite being half Italian - I guess the German/Scotch/English is showing). I found it to be one of the best investments I ever made, make-up and clothing wise I mean. I also am very fair and usually...

    I have the same challenges living in a small apt. I cannot put a couch in livingroom which is wider than 85 inches. My kitchen table cannot be larger than 48" and must be round and I cannot use one with a round base as it'd be too heavy to move it around the kitchen if I need to move the table at times. Everything I see is either large or oversized...

    If teeth repair themselves, then why must cavities be filled? My great grand father lived to age 90, in his eighties his teeth were like little nubs, but he did not have tooth decay. He ate very little in the way of sweets and meat, mostly grains and greens. He was from Europe. So teeth do get smaller over time, it's just that you don't see it as it...

    No, you're right, it's her money and time...but why bother asking the reading public then? I just hope she's happy designing doggy beds and kitty coats, when she could have been a leader in new territory......

    I read the description on the NOW product and it's not the same thing as the 2 Prescriptions being worked on. This NOW product works on enzymes; a celiac has to worry about grain proteins. It doesn't state that Gluten Digest breaks down proteins.... The NOW product, from what I can tell, is just to assist the digestive system to digest gluten, it...

    I am looking for a word....it has to do with funerals.....sorry for topic of funerals The word describes this : When at the funeral, someone collects money for the family to go towards the funeral expenses. There's a special Italian word for it. Usually someone has a box or an envelope that the money goes into. It might be a word that is "made...

    P.S. Jeanne: Where did that motto originate from, friend of mine said it was a Jesuit origin..then one said it wasn't ..just curious...

    ....so I guess we have to wait for pets to come down with celiac before we can expect a special magazine for food allergies...?

    I guess we didn't have enough Super Delegates!
  20. debmidge
    Exactly right! I agree. That's when they figured they had to backpedal out of this one. Solution: take down the percentage tables. A "pet" magazine will not last as there are a good number of them, made by real pet organizations and who control the market already. I guess she's looking for a 2-3 year life span of her publicaton (business cycle...

    I'd try this route and see what happens. This is what I did when I set up my 25th Wedding Anniversary party. And they even made a special plate for my husband (which is what I wanted all along). Some party halls/caterers outright refused to cook a gluten free meal. They were Galloping Hill Inn in Union, NJ and the Kenilworth Inn in Kenilworth NJ...

    It can also be an "indirect" insurance issue. Meaning that someone brings something in that has food poisioning potential and share it with others, they all get sick and sue the restaurant - then no one can prove it's not the restaurant's food that made them sick. I would imagine that bad people would do this in order to win a lawsuit from restaurant...

    why does Reese haveeee to do this!? (i.e., put wheat in product when obviously they don't need to as they make it wheat free too)

    Great topic! I'm in NJ too.
