Almost Glutened by a Raven !!

The purpose of this little story is to give you all a smile and to say gluten lurks everywhere, even where we least expect it!

We live in a rural area with a lot of wild creatures close by.  Yesterday a raven flew overhead and dropped a piece of whole wheat bread, smack, in the middle of our small doggie yard.  We saw the raven fly over and we saw it drop the bread!  We were in the doggie yard in a heartbeat to retrieve the bread before any dogs could find it.  I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that had we not seen it happen, had one of the dogs eaten that bread and then given me a slurpy doggie kiss - ooops!  I could have been a little sick that night and never known the true why!

Very believeable Elijah!  Is your back yard near a brook?  Did they bring you hot dogs too? :)

Open Original Shared LinkGet thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. Open Original Shared LinkAnd it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. Open Original Shared LinkSo he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that isbefore Jordan. Open Original Shared LinkAnd the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. Open Original Shared LinkAnd it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. Open Original Shared LinkAnd the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Open Original Shared LinkArise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

Oh my gosh! You are so right; you would have driven yourself crazy trying to figure out how you had gotten glutened. I'm glad you saw it happen & were able to retrieve it before the doggies could get it. Now that the danger is over; it is a funny story.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
