slice them really thick, like an inch and a half, and leave a quarter inch or so when you scoop them. It's like making little cups. These work well with a fresh salsa that's not so spicy. The mango salsa from Costco works well if you don't want to make your own.

I love that mango salsa! Thanks, Jess! I let you know the date & time so you can get a flight.

Sam's has pickled asparagus the is gluten-free and wonderful. Also, you could make an anti-pasta tray using rolled ham slices, olives and picked onions, fresh veggies and anything else you like.

Welcome MB! Thought about salami but some ham would be nice. Never had pickled asparagus. Might try it.

Everything is more fun on a stick.

Gah! I say this all the time.. . . . . . ....so true.

:huh:

:lol:

I did a surprise birthday party for my sis here last winter for fifty people, and had a lot of cut-up fruit (heavy on the grapes and berries) and veggies, as many different types of cheese slabs as I could afford, and lots of nice rice crackers with hummous dip and brandy pate. It was an after dinner, into-the-wee-hours party, so likely similar to what you're considering, Kherrighnne.. .. . it was perfect for the event and the number of people.

Make sure you have lotsa wine. After all, who in hell cares what food is there, really?

:rolleyes:

Is there a brand I should look for? Does this sound like enough food? I usually practically serve dinner but that's hard right now.

Can you come live with me? :ph34r:

I buy the Wilton kind. Bigger bottles and more options. I also roll them in coconut, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, chopped candies etc...

I would love to come visit! :D

You could do some meatballs, those are easy. I'll keep thinking.

I could probably put this out on another thread and get lots of ideas but ...Phfft! Why do that?

Here's the story:

I totally didn't see this--when I came back and read all the yummy ideas, I had to go back to see what was goin' on :P

I don't have much to add to everybody's suggestions.....I like to have big platters of cut up fruit (people seem to love fresh pineapple) and veggies. A sweet dip and something savory. If you have a way to keep them warm, meatballs are nice for something hot and meaty. Fill in the table with yer chocolates, popcorn, gluten-free pretzels, easy stuff like that.

I've also done a big pot of hot mulled cider on the stove--the house smells fantastic when they come in.

Hub will take care of that. I just have to get him to get 10 bottles of the same merlot and 10 of the same white. He likes to get 10 different ones so he can try them all. Gets confusing at a party. ( and makes him confusing) ;)

Taking hub on a filed trip to Costco this weekend to scope out the possibilities. Will probably cost us $150 just to look. He ( we) can't just look at Costco.

Never tried that--but cinnamon schnapps would be really good! Is it gluten-free, Rash?

If you're going to do any dips for your veggies, it's very pretty to scoop out the centers of red and orange peppers and fill them with dip. I would make a strict no gluten rule for anything brought.

Yes!! I've done that--and this time of year you can get those cute wee pumpkins :D

I found 2 sites that say the Dekuypers brand of schnapps are gluten-free. They have one called 'hot damn' cinnamon schnapps. Not 100% positive. Trying to find info for Fireball whiskey too, not being successful :(

I was wondering that, too. We used to do dark rum and cinn schapps.

Like the hummus in the Pepper. very Xmasy colored.

Since most are hub's employees, I think we can do enforce the no gluten rule. If this goes well, the boys will want out annual between Xmas and New Years neighborhood party. That will be hard to enforce & explain.

That's why you & Russell are coming. To help & bring food! :)

We have a guy here who makes the best red pepper hummus. Nothing he makes in that kitchen is gluteny so I figure is safe.

You gotta love a recipe where you put a jar in the back of the closet for 2 weeks. :)

reminds me of college days :P Hubby's bff had a corner room in our dorms. Those have the big walk-in closets. He decided to make wine in there but neglected to regulate the pressure. Purple 'wine' exploded onto the other side of the closet where his roomie's metro-sexual designer wardrobe hung :rolleyes:

Sorry--didn't read all the way to the bottom of the recipe to see where it said to age for months :rolleyes:

I could probably put this out on another thread and get lots of ideas but ...Phfft! Why do that?

Here's the story:

Hub wants to have a little Xmas party for his employees/people he works with and spouses if they are so inclined. About 30 people. Trying to make this as easy as possible since most of it falls on me. We have decided to do a wine, cheese, chocolate type thing. Will have beer and soft drinks, too. gluten-free crackers, fruit...

I'm going to go heavy on cheese like cheddar from Costco but will get a few odder things. gluten-free crackers so I don't have to worry.

J & M make great fudge and toffee. J makes great PB truffles. I can make them, too, if they don't have time. Also, I have made some coffee/choc and amaretto truffles. I think I can make these ahead & freeze.

Here's the questions for my wise and experienced partiers:

Sound OK? Enough food?

Have to roll truffles in things. Can't use graham crackers unless I use a gluten-free kind. Use crushed peanuts and those little chocolate jummy sprinkle things. If I could get red & green ones, are they gluten-free? Will have to look.

Something else I could serve?

What do I do if someone brings glutinous cookies? I don't want to worry about the crumbs in my left overs. Hub maybe can tell them not to, they all know I have Celiac.

Thanks!

I know I should be offline (and will return to couch shortly but I took a loooong nap). Definitely keep the non gluten-free out of the house. You're doing too well to get CC'd/ And it's your house! I'm sure everything you make will be delicious. Perhaps you can suggest what they bring and make sure it's all things you can eat (or drink like wine).

Thanks for all the wub.gif I felt it! Klark is calling me - better get back down there!

Loey

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
