yes.. and it's amazing the list of symptoms we can have.. not just gastro issues.. for me, it usually starts with a headache, which may turn into a migraine, then I get serious chronic all over body pain, all my joints and muscles will feel just horrible, as if I've been run over by a large truck.. I will get the…

I would like to make a note about people cooking for gluten free folks in your usually gluten filled kitchen.. we know you mean well, and we're glad you are trying, but please, don't be offended if we are still reluctant to eat what you are offering. The recipe that mentions toasting bread.. if you stick that gluten…

will add to the "freeze, dehydrate, pickle, or otherwise preserve" your bulk foods that you might not get to in time. I've dehydrated mushrooms, garlic, onions, herbs, fruits, what have you.. you can also freeze, though check those, some things freeze better after blanching or sauteing. I also do a lot of canning and…

well, he did get some pizza joint experience from his part in Return of the Killer Tomatoes...

i did bento style lunches for my step daughter last summer for her summer job. she loved them and they were really so much easier and healthy then the non-bento style lunches i'm doing right now for her sister and hubby.. they didn't go for what we were doing.. i'm still trying to figure out how to get them more into…

well, i've got the 4 dogs.. (we had 5, but one just lost her battle with lymphoma last friday night..) can't do cats as i'm very highly allergic.. in the past 10 years, we've had somewhere around 100 mice over about 5 years, 2 gerbils, a hamster, and 3 other dogs.. and we're a doggie foster home for a local rescue..…

seconded.. and i've never been entirely sure when the "change over" was either.. it's not like it's something they announce in the papers or the news or anything.. you don't get a "breaking news story" about a perceived customary increase in tipping rates.. someone might actually sit down and "officially" figure…

let me just say.. that can and does happen. pretty closely describes my marriage. things aren't always perfect, cuz, duh.. life rarely is.. and part of our "decision" to do this was due to some outside influence (I was injured in a car accident and have a few medical issues that now make working full time outside the…

it still makes a good emergency heater.. though i'd most likely keep it for camping or at home emergencies.. (I live in Alaska and temps of -20 or colder aren't uncommon in winter and power outages are fairly common as well..) though I'd likely use #10 cans as they are easier to come by.. wouldn't be likely to use…

i'm also not a "normal".. body weight and shape, yes and lots of other things (in fact, my dx came about because i'd seen a dr phil episode about it ages ago and asked my doc if this might be at least part of what was wrong with me.. hoping it was cuz otherwise i was terrified it was going to be cancer or something..)…

no.. just please.. no.. I use to work as a receptionist in a gastroenterology office years ago. Our office didn't do bypass surgeries and the like, but we saw LOTS of patients who had those things done elsewhere. I've seen the charts (what with having to do the filing and all...) and I've taken their info and…

i did leave it all night and it never did manage it.. lol. did get from MC Frontalot to Mel Torme though a few of the jumps were a bit silly...

I think I might have killed it trying to go from MC Frontalot to Mozart.. and yes, Nerd Core Rap and classical really are both in my home collection.. it says it is building a path between the two.. but, it has been saying that for the last 5 minutes with no indication of progress...

we do rescues as well.. not set up for larger dogs, though the rescue we work with has a great little pitty who was found near death (some one reported a dead dog, but when animal control got there, he was barely alive.. had been out for who knows how long, starved, bitten, possibly used as a bait dog... etc..) he is…

my husband made the same suggestion while we were watching it (he also thought that the black girl w/ Clara in modern times at the end might have been River.. we had to go back and rewatch to confirm it wasn't the same actress...) I told him I didn't think they'd go that route.. however.. all things considered.. i…

total mouse.. we had pet mice for about 5 years.. there can be plenty of smart little mice.. there are also dumb ones, mean, bitey ones and sweet cuddly ones.. (at our high point, we had over 70 mice at a time.. things got crazy...) we had some very clever little ones.

i generally move mine to the oven after the browning portion of the event. or if it's a really large roast (ie too big for my roasting pan..) will do it on the counter in my huge electric roasting pan.. or in the slow cooker if it's a really tough cut that will need all day to simmer down...

oh yes.. forgot to mention, originally, the laundry room was also in the kitchen.. cuz.. yeah.. let's eat up more non existent space.. (we did get that moved to the basement a few years back.. yay...)

would love a kitchen remodel.. 2400 sq ft house (2 levels) tiny kitchen and the "eating area" is right up next to the french doors.. we seriously can not get a table in there without blocking the doors.. which we kinda need access to to let the dogs in and out and shovel snow off the porch, etc.. sadly, there's just…

the problem isn't as easy as just replacing obvious wheat products. Wheat has made it's insidious way into about 85% or more of all processed foods (ok, I made that percentage up, but as someone who had to make the switch to gluten free 2 years ago, it certainly seems that high when trying to shop.. you have to check…
