    The sauce is Worcestershire sauce, or "WOOster-shr". Worcester, "WOOster" is a city in central Massachusetts (and maybe in England, for all I know). I make sauces using rice flour or white buckwheat flour.

    I test the interior to 200°F with an instant read thermometer. It still falls.

    A positive result on a blood test is conclusive. It is only the negatives that are inconclusive.

    The problem is that there are many children who are not going to learn to read very well, regardless of how important a skill it is. Do we keep them in school struggling with reading exercises until they leave, still illiterate, or do we try to teach them through other means - such as listening to books on tape and watching videos? Paul McCartney cannot...

    I will not pass on commenting on this, but at the same time I'm not sure how to respond to the idea that employers should be forced to hire people who are utterly unqualified to do the job they need to get done. (Workfare for monolinguals?) You clearly don't see language as a means of communication, but as an irrelevant paper requirement. Up here in the...

    Yours is the prevalent opinion nowadays - that what matters is improving the kids' "reading skills", it takes priority over all else, and there is no other way to learn. This is remarkable, considering all the theory they teach in education school, where you learn you are expected as a teacher to attempt to recognize each student's learning style and accomodate...

    I missed something. You know gluten is poisoning him, and you know he is healthy on a gluten-free diet. What do you need the test for? The doctor is supposed to be working for you and your son's health.

    Two weeks is not long enough to be eating gluten to get a positive biopsy if you've been off gluten for a while. Even if a person has been eating gluten continuously, their biopsy may appear negative. If a person's blood tests are positive, they have the disease, and shouldn't need a biopsy. The biopsy is only positive if you are in the end stages of...

    I love what you're saying, Ursula. I have always been a loner. As a child I was painfully shy, but now I'm merely quiet and thoughtful. I am what I call a "serial obsessor" - I spend all my effort on some one thing for years at a time, then I've had enough, and move on to something else. I find it hard to identify with people who have never found anything...

    There are a lot of Asian rice noodles you can use very much like ramen, but you'd have to try them to see if they gave you a finished product resembling what you're looking for.

    Just a suggestion: having a person without gluten intolerance taste something is not a test of whether it is gluten-free. Stuffed mushrooms you would order in a restaurant always contain a substantial amount of bread crumbs and/or flour. If you are going to eat out, you need to go prepared to only eat the things you know are safe, not merely avoiding...

    I was going to ask the same thing. If the job requires communicatiing with someone in a foreign language, then you need to hire someone who is at least marginally fluent in that language.

    It's not just that soybean oil is cheaper, but it is flavorless, unlike olive oil, and American tastes go to mayo that doesn't have any strong oil flavor. Whole egg blender mayo I make my own by putting 1 egg in the blender with 3/8 teaspoon salt. I replace the center of the lid with a funnel. Turn on the blender and drizzle (yes, slowly!) in 1...

    That sounds risky. Unless you're really, really short of storage space I think you should each have your own, and if storage is an issue, I still don't think you should use his. They really aren't expensive, and it will pay for itself with the savings on your bread.

    I spent 3 weeks in Galicia before I became gluten-free. At the time I was trying to eat a low-carb diet, which I found almost impossible over there, though since I was on a meal plan, you might have more luck. Unfortunately they rarely serve vegetables in restaurants. In the cafeteria I was eating in, the vegetables were uniformly overcooked to a grayish...

    For a stronger flavor you might want to add melted unsweetened chocolate to the batter. If you add much cocoa without cutting back on the flour (which you can't do in a mix) it will make a dryer cake.

    I'm not all that particular. As long as it isn't fluoridated and tastes good (our city water tastes nasty with the chlorine compounds they add to it) it's good enough for me. So I just buy a store brand in jugs.

    I don't have a bread machine, as I've always made my own bread. I recommend going online and reading user product reviews to find out what machines are rated highly in general. Any machine that makes reliably good bread can make reliable gluten-free bread.

    There may be some places where they have discontinued fluoridation, but none of them are around where I live. No one should drink more than 1 liter of fluoridated water a day. This is the intended dosage. Keep in mind that many processed beverages are made with fluoridated water, so you could easily be getting a double dose. There is no such thing...

    How much did you smoke yesterday? Wasn't it a lot?

    I read this, too. What it took for a positive diagnosis was to have a positive biopsy, then go gluten-free for 6 months and get a negative biopsy, then eat gluten for 6 months and show another positive biopsy.

    I don't know what the policy of this board is. I have belonged to several cooking sites, and their policy is that ingredients lists are not copyrightable, but instructions are. What they required was for someone to put the instructions in their own words, and hopefully this would also encourage the writer to add what they had learned from making the recipe...

    The filter removes chlorine, not chloride. It won't remove fluoride, just as it can't remove sodium chloride (table salt).

    I like it, but I don't use it that much. When I bougt it I was thinking it would be useful for making nut milks, which I do frequently. Although the directions recommend it for that purpose, it's simpler for me to blend them and then pour through my old Acme Juicer that I have lined with a paper towel strip. Nut milks don't like or need the heat cycle that...

    The artist in me likes to develop new good things to eat, but the scientist takes notes and tests the recipes until they are reproducible. I have undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Linguistics.
