    The mountains of NC are just gorgeous. Down here, it's pretty hot in the summer! In fact my meringues are melting in the humidity. But they're my son's favorites so he'll probably gobble them all before they dissolve.

    Wow, that's cool! I've only had it in injera, the Ethiopian bread, & that was before I was gluten-free so not really tuned in to its gluten-free status. I REALLY miss that graham flavor, so I'll definitely give it a go. Leah Do you use teff alone or mix it with other flours?

    Oh, I do miss oatmeal... but I think I'd better wait until I'm good & healed to try it. Meanwhile it's quinoa flakes for me... Leah

    Wow, I suddenly feel so OFFICIAL!

    Really!? I'm in Raleigh, not in the mountains. Planning to swing by the Triangle at all?

    Sorry, didn't mean to bring up a sore subject! I'll make my next batch of cookies chocolate-free in your honor.

    I'm in NC, sorry! Nut Thins sometimes get to me too, but I don't think it's dairy in my case... the only time dairy gets me is if I drink a big glass of milk (which I haven't done in years)-- & I love nuts, so I don't know what the problem is.

    Thanks! I wish I could share the goodies in reality... I'd also like to offer my services as resident illustrator & calligrapher... that's what I do when I'm not goofing off online or in the kitchen. I could do very classy-looking Official Rachelville Documents, lots of swashes & gold leaf. Leah

    Well, I guess it's time to out myself properly... I have been wandering silently through Rachelville for some time. And yes, I'm somewhat embarrassed that my first actual post was in regard to naked guide guy... but there you have it. Revealed in Cyberworld forever as a dirty old lady. Please let me redeem myself. Would you like a cocoa pecan meringue...

    You can do it, Lisa, hang in there... it's not unusual to get butterflies before any medical procedure even if you've been through it before. But you know you'll do fine, & if it helps you get well, it will be so worth the effort. Leah

    Sorry, my mental image of your guide did not accord with reality... bad Leah!

    Luckily??

    Interesting! I'm a big believer in breathing. It is amazing what it can do for my anxiety attacks. Leah

    A heating pad might provide some comfort. And I second the water suggestion. Maybe Pepto-Bismol if that has helped him before? Leah
  15. queenofhearts
    From what I understand, blood tests are not conclusive, so you are right to try the diet anyway. Be sure to give it time, too. Have you considered endoscopy? Whatever you do, I hope you feel better soon! Leah

    I can sympathize with that, Zell... my husband does believe in Celiac, but he's just not a meticulous person by nature, & still can't understand why I get so upset when he gets gluten into my food... We've been married over 28 years, & this diagnosis is a big adjustment for him. He actually runs a restaurant & has lots of knowledge about...

    It's a lot wilder looking & less well-behaved than panko (& I do miss panko!) but pretty tasty! Leah
  18. queenofhearts
    Well... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm only gluten-free 2 months & being relatively aged (50) still suffering some symptoms, which I'm told is normal when diagnosed this late in life... what with long-term deficiencies to deal with, &c. But ANYWAY, I still do have mood & discomfort issues around my period. And I also get...

    That is funny! Cooking "correctly" has taken on a whole new meaning for me too-- but it's all good. Forces one to be more creative. And thanks for mentioning your site-- I hadn't seen it before, so I searched for it. Looks great-- I only wish I were headed to Paris soon to try it out! Leah

    I recently tried an unusual but simple recipe for Asian chicken nuggets that is a real change of pace. You take some rice vermicelli (the Vietnamese/Thai kind) & whir it in the food processor to break it into little bitty pieces. Press said pieces into the surface of the chicken (I used boneless breast cut into nuggets). Deep fry. The little bits...

    Which book is that one in? I miss egg noodles! Leah
  22. queenofhearts
    I'm so glad you are feeling better! I had a bout of food poisoning recently too so I can relate to that part. (The culprit was chicken too-- I taste-tested some before it was fully done. STUPID, I know, but I swallowed one bite before I consciously realized it was undercooked.) I actually joked afterward that I should have scheduled a scope that...
  23. queenofhearts
    Thanks, I'll give that a try! Leah

    We've been talking about this on another thread, I think it's called Flour & Soy... short answer, it's pretty risky. The problem is mainly the possibility of ingesting airborne flour. I postulated that possibly a dust mask of the sort you can find in hardware stores might be protective, but we don't really know. Sorry for the bad news... this...
  25. queenofhearts
    Very good advice! In fact, the bread is one of the defining ingredients of the authentic recipe. But I always have preferred it without & without as much oil as the traditional recipe... one of the things I like about it is that it can be so light & refreshing when it's "too hot to eat". I love the tomato & cucumber version best, but cantaloupe...
