    Oh yes. Anything less just wouldn't be neighborly. And I happened to read on line today that pears should be picked green and allowed to ripen indoors, otherwise they get grainy, and the inside rots before the outside is ripe. The poor man has 3 pear trees right next to his apple trees. His yard will be a disaster if I don't act.

    hm, well, I happened to be near the neighbor's yard this morning, and saw that the apples are starting to fall. It would be such a shame to let his yard get all gooey with fallen apples....

    Note that frozen food doesn't go "bad". The expiration date is the latest date that they can guarantee the best flavor. In most cases, you would notice no change in flavor for the next couple months anyway, and if you want to keep it longer you could always wrap the frozen loaf in foil or plastic wrap, and put in back in the bag (so it's double wrapped...

    I think this site does end up with a lot of those. If they don't get posted through the auto system, then someone finds them and posts to ask about them. And they may as well be fully discussed here, because ignoring them could easily be construed as supporting them. But I also find them annoying, and can't be bothered to comment on them.

    Vigor? Igor? Fighter?
  7. Jestgar
    No. Just as two people can get the same cold virus and have two completely different physical interpretations, how sick you feel has nothing to do with how damaged your body is.

    I was the Maid of Dishonor at one friend' wedding.

    Why on earth would you want to do something to make someone unhappy? Life is difficult enough without deliberately handing out sadness.

    Maybe you could come up with badges, or stars or sumpin', to see who can collect the most.

    I never said she was unclear, I was just curious if someone had categorized gluten responses and had come up with some sort of table of the most common groupings or something.
  13. Jestgar
    Actually, I would say that reminding someone that they are their own, best safeguard is very supportive. Like Tom, I suspected Ron's extreme negative response to a post was due to a gluten exposure. Taken by itself, Lisa's post is really pretty innocuous. I can't figure out why anyone would see it as anything else, except under the influence of gluten...

    Are you just making up your own phrases, or is there an actual, accepted description like this?
  15. Jestgar
    Interesting. I can't believe they felt the need to include a recipe for making oatmeal. Are that many people really incapable of cooking something that doesn't come in a package marked "instant"?
  16. Jestgar
    Dude! Chill! It's a blanket statement around here "You are responsible for what you eat". Don't think anything is directed at you personally.

    Oh, and a gallon of milk is $2.49, not much less when it's on sale.

    So I just read one of those pretty badly written Yahoo articles about hunger in America. Open Original Shared Link, and I followed some of the other suggested readings. While I do realize that some people really can't afford food, I'm having a hard time believing that chicken costs upwards of $4.50/lb on the east coast (or was it Ohio?). Some of them are...

    yep. Dash of allspice. Next batch will have a jalapeno in it.

    And remember that it's a journey, not an instant change. Yes, that life is past, but remember that every ending also signals a new beginning. You have a wonderful new life ahead of you! Feeling better, eating new things, becoming a family that bonds over experiences, not just food. Do get rid of that nasty, gluten stuff, and do something fun to try...
  21. Jestgar
    Yep, they're pretty easy to find. I spent yesterday making four batches of jam. The last, spiced blackberry, is really tasty. Had homemade yogurt with homemade jam for brekkie. I also have a short contract to do some spreadsheet work for a small architectural firm. Guess I should get started on that...

    Everyone is inconvenient to someone else, one of your inconveniences happens to be food. My bf takes forever to decide things - very inconvenient, and drives me up the wall. Would I dump him because of it? No. Only a lame-@$$ jerk would tell you that what you eat is causing him problems.

    I read one time (and no longer know where) that tortilla chips are made from feed corn, which is different from the sweet corn we eat. Maybe it's the extra starch in the chips? I have the opposite issue, I can eat a few chips, but absolutely no whole corn or popcorn.
  24. Jestgar
    Sorry. I just read this and realized you've been at this for a while. I guess your post is due to the severity of the reaction, not your newness and leaping to conclusions. Hope it wasn't the Costco, but it really does seem unfair to both assume it was, and call them on it publicly.
  25. Jestgar
    So even though you went to a fair, and may have eaten something you know you react to, you felt it was necessary to dis a product, and even named names?
