  1. Rachel: Thanks! Your answer to Blanchemae also solved the problem for me. Now I know how to quote! YEA!!! Now, suppose I wanted to quote and answer just one paragraph in a long post. How do I do that? And how would I quote and answer paragraph 1, then skip down and quote and answer paragraph 5? Am I making sense? Cissie
  2. gfp: Well, of course carrots can be microwaved to shorten their cooking time! Why hasn't that ever occurred to me? When I gave dinner parties, I planned my menu two weeks ahead of time, then wrote down every step according to prep and cooking time, what could be cooked ahead of time (be it days or hours), serving dishes and table linens to be used, etc...
  3. I'm trying to catch up, after losing two days to a migraine and related problems. There was hidden msg in one of the gluten-free products I ate. gfp: I've learned a lot from your posts! When are you going to write a cookbook? You could call it "Quick Cooking for Celiacs." A guaranteed success! I thought risotto was out of the question for...
  4. Many thanks for the info, ChelsE. I'm furious!!! The bastards indeed!!!!! Cissie
  5. Touche, Lister! I am old! No harm done, so don't feel bad. Yet another way to boil eggs: Put six eggs in a sort of deep pot, and cover with cold water. Set pot on burner and turn heat to High. When the water starts boiling, remove pot from burner, put the lid on it, and set timer for 20 minutes. When timer rings, pour off the hot water, set...
  6. Hi, Ursula! I spent some of the happiest years of my life in Deutschland! Von drei und sechzig bis acht und sechzig. Ich habe biBchen Deutsch gelernt, aber nun habe ich viel fergessen. (Sorry about the "biBchen. My computer doesn't type in German, so the capital B is the best I can do.) My first husband, our six children, and I lived in Frankfurt...
  7. I love it! Bet you even know the last words of the Redneck driver. "Watch 'is, Bubba; I'm on try sumpin!" I've lived in Georgia for years, but I'm a Tennessee girl forever! Cissie P.S. It's almost my bedtime. Goodnight, y'all.
  8. Rats!!! I was afraid of that, so I haven't eaten any in a week. I'll switch to a different brand. Cissie
  9. Lister, you sound very young, so I'm wondering if anyone has ever taught you how to make a tuna salad, or simply to boil eggs, for that matter. Deviled eggs are delicious, and easy to make. Do you know how to do these things? Cissie
  10. Does anyone know about Godiva? Their Belgian Dark Chocolate is the best I've ever tasted in my life!!! I can call them, or find their website, but I thought somebody might know offhand. Cissie
  11. eKatherine, that's so funny! I know how to spell Worcestershire, since I've been looking at the label all my life. I just wrote it phonetically as a joke on myself. I really must start using those little yellow faces, but I don't know how. ChelsE, your "frying" blend will become a staple in my kitchen. It's okay for you to laugh at us Southerners;...
  12. Hello there, gfp. Oh, my gosh! You mean to say that I can use my beloved "Wooster" Sauce? (That's the way mother pronounced it. Her people were from southern Mississippi and Louisiana, and for some reason they pronounced some words the English way. Another word is "again," which rhymes with "rain.") I was afraid Worcester Sauce might have gluten in...
  13. Great ideas! I'm going to add a crock pot to my shopping list, as well as those freezer-to-microwave dishes. I'll even drag out the pressure cooker, which I haven't used in ages. Now, gfp, where do I find recipes for those 101 meals that take no more time to prepare than cooking rice? I cook rice often, and prefer it to potatoes. I was born and raised...
  14. Thanks so much for all the good advice, and for caring! I've been feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, thinking this diet was about to take over my life. Guess I lost my perspective. Sooner or later I'll get it all worked out. Leah, you're spot on about the creative frenzy! That's exactly how I feel, and how I eat, when the muse strikes. The creative...
  15. Hey, y'all! This is my first post, but I've been reading a lot of strings, and feel as if I know some of you. I haven't been diagnosed yet, but when nature decides to cooperate with me, I'll be sending my specimen to Entero Labs. Given the histories of my mother and my sisters, however, I'm pretty sure my weight loss and increased number of attacks of...
