Eh, i don't think so, the retainer i've had for.... 4 years or so? Its still somewhat tender this morning, i think thats partially because when i was flossing the heck out of the area i overdid it and kinda cut the gum.

I don't have the money for a slow cooker right now :/ so i do it on stove top. I'll try to put the meat on for about two or so hours next time and see what happens.

As for the honey, is it the same amount as it says for vanilla? So ex 1tbs would be 1?

Honestly, you don't really have to add anything to replace the vanilla,

it is a taste enhancer only. Adding a bit of honey, about a tablespoon

(or as I like to do, pour it and count one-one thousand) would be just fine.

I make my pot roast on the stovetop as well. I choose roasts between

2-4 lbs, and first, in the pot, brown each side in olive oil and lots seasonings.

Get it nice and brown too, give it at least five minutes on each side with loud

sizzle, but not high enough to smoke. Then add a cup or so of boiling water

(I use my electric teakettle for hot water) using hot water will keep from

bringing the temp of the meat down again. Then cover and leave it alone for

at least two hours on the lowest setting/simmer. If your roast is only 1-2 lbs,

you're done. If it's 3-4, give it a full three hours on the stove.

hehe! It is great to have FB and Twitter to get updates from people. Many can use a cell phone and blast a 5 second message to FB just so that people can know they are all right (or need help! Saw one this AM from some one trapped on their roof, last I heard help was enroute)

Doin' ok:). Lots of wind and rain last night, but all calm this morning. We didn't lose power here, but lots of others did right around here including my son who lives a few minutes away.

Still without phone/cable/internet, but that's minor. Mark doesn't have work today (closed--yeah!), so we'll probably take a ride and see how the rest of the area fared. And buy milk:)

Here in Toronto, the peak rainfall is expected in the next 24 hours. High winds yesterday and overnight have caused damage and there are some power outages. One death is reported--a woman was hit by flying debris.

You can get a basic slow cooker/crockpot at Walmart for under $20. Maybe you should ask for one for Christmas?

A pressure cooker is what I was thinking of, not a slow cooker. Slow cookers are um, slow. :blink: Pressure cookers are fast. B)

I like things fast myself, but I have heard rumors that some women prefer things slow. Could be the reason for the slow cooker preference perhaps? :D

Good to hear you are ok Pateh!

Not just you, me too, and with leg of lamb I do it the Italian way -- just garlic and rosemary (and wine instead of water). This works best if you can convince a butcher to give you a shoulder cut, you know, the old-fashioned butcher still hiding under a rock somewhere :D

Alright guys, i've discovered and killed the second wasp in my room (with dawn dish soap no less). Those bloody bugs keep crawling under my door. All sweet things like honey have been stashed in the fridge.

Do you think i could tape some cardboard on the bottom of my front door, enough to keep them out? I looked around at king soopers when i was there last and found nothing that could help.

I also sent an email to housing telling them about this madness.

You have masking or duct tape? You could hang it at the bottom of the door, sticky side hanging lower than door. If they tried to get in, they would stick. You could use a double sided tape or tape in a circle (like you put on the back of a poster to hang up) & put it on the floor under the door, too.

      Mark, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful? Oklahoma/Texas neurologists have only offered me the “eat gluten free” advice and then when I ask about the hands or muscle twitching they said they just don’t know. I appreciate your great information on supplements, thank you for your help!  Scott, do you have suggestions as to celiac centers that could be helpful?

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’ve been through a challenging journey since your celiac diagnosis, especially with the unexpected neurologic symptoms like muscle twitching and hand tremors. While celiac disease is primarily known for gastrointestinal issues, it’s important to recognize that it can also manifest in non-GI ways, including neurological symptoms. Research has shown that celiac disease can sometimes be linked to conditions like gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, or even myoclonus (involuntary muscle twitching), which might explain what you’re experiencing. The fact that your symptoms have fluctuated with dietary changes suggests a possible connection, even if it’s not yet fully understood by your local neurologists. It might be worth seeking out a specialist who has experience with celiac-related neurological issues or consulting with a celiac-focused research center. In the meantime, staying strict with your gluten-free diet is a good step, as even small amounts of gluten can trigger immune responses that may contribute to these symptoms. You’re not alone in this—many with celiac report similar struggles, and connecting with online communities or support groups could provide additional insights and reassurance. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By Sunshine4 · Posted

      I was initially diagnosed with celiac in June 2024. I had no G.I. issues but got chest and pelvic pain. I changed my diet – although I was not great at watching cross-contamination – and had no problems until the end of October 2024 when I started getting headaches. At the end of December 2024 the headaches ended but I started having twitching throughout my body. Not long-term twitching just a fast burst twitch. In addition, I had tremors start in both of my hands. Sometimes it is stronger in one hand than the other and sometimes it seems to die off and then comes back. This has gone on for two months and the twitching has gradually lessened although sometimes it comes back with a vengeance. I have been really strict about  my diet and cross contamination so I feel these symptoms are related to my celiac disease although I’m not certain and I’m unsure that the strict diet is what has helped. I’ve been tested for everything -  MS, lupus, ALS and a variety of other things which were all negative. I can only relate these symptoms to my celiac but no neurologist in my area seems to know anything about celiac causing anything other than gastric issues. I’m so frustrated and just looking for others that have had similar symptoms and doctors that are more knowledgeable about celiac and neuro issues. Thank you!

      I can't tell yet because it's only been a few days and the issue occurs every 2/3 months!
