Unexplained allergy-type reactions have prevented me cooking or eating several dinners this week -- very frustrating that the only thing that works for me is Benedryl and then it's off to snoozle-land for me.  Good thing my men cook too so I've had dinner for breakfast/lunch the past couple of days.

 

Tonight I am doing fairly well -- small reaction when I was out and about but seems to be ok with just inhaler -- so tonight will be tri-tip with garlic pasta and broccoli -- oh and left over pineapple mixed up cake from the other night.

Zippity Doo Daa!

 

I aced my Bio final even though I was falling asleep at my desk due to Benedryl to counteract the allergic-type reactions I've had this past week!!!  and I am such a PITA that the professor emailed me to tell me as he knew I'd be tracking him down to find out :D

 

Teaching the son to make chili got post-poned so we are about to do it right now for dinner tonight :)

Wooooohooooski!!!!!!!!

Isn't it great to be back?

Having my own little celebration here. Just got out my map and thread, and I walked 10 and a half miles today. As well as half a day volunteering. And watching The Great Gatsby. (I loved it. And I think I have an idea for a new cabana boy).

Hope you had seconds of that cake. You are just awesome.

wow! whoohoo for you too! 10.5 miles! kudos, lady! You're pretty awesome yourself. :wub:

 

welllll.........since we're reporting our "feats" today :D --I lifted 7,500 lbs. today (that's 10 strength-training machines, 75 lbs. X 10 reps) (SKI, check my math!) 

 

and biked 1.5 miles in 15 mins. and walked 1 mile  in under 20 mins..

Not bad for someone who could not even walk a block or tie her own shoes not long ago.

 

 

The GG is one of my top 10 all- time fave American novels and I hope I will enjoy it too. I usually like all the movies you like, so I expect I will.

Confirmed 7500 pounds -- jeez Irish -- thought you were a bit tired from all the hauling!  and you walked and rode too -- these lungs of mine better be happy tomorrow so I can catch you two.

 

The cake turned into triple chocolate cake with peppermint buttercream frosting...the men hate it when I do that ;)

 

PS...the new GG is well -- pretty swell....saw it in 3D with youngest son and sister ... so it felt like we were partying right along with elite sponges that were entertained by JD.  I was re-reading the novel before the movie -- still have a bit to go...been juggling several books lately -- nice to have a brain that can follow more than one thread these days!

A bunch of fun women(and the occasional adventurous male) discussing pompoms, wine, final exams, NASCAR, robotics, their children, their boyfriends, their cabana boys, their asshat neighbors, wine, book and movie reviews, their crazy ass mothers-in-law, wine, cake disasters, lessons in Croatian, why arugula is both delicious and fun to say, the many ways to use bacon, the many ways to use cheese, adventures in kitchen mishaps,  (did I mention wine?), the weather, skiing, the news--good and bad, how crock pots saved the world, humidity and how it makes your hair curl and your hands swell, the absurdity of Canadian snow, why tomatoes are not fun a food group to lose, and all the endless encouragement for any victory, from the very small to the ginormous?

 

...oh, wait, you probably meant the ways our brains and bodies rebound off poison! yeah, baby, that's the coolest stuff!!!  :lol:

 

Dinner tonight:

A chicken on the counter-top rotisserie, steamed asparagus, taters for the hubs. It's too hot to spark up the oven and I just cleaned it and I want it spiffy and shiny.

 

Why, you ask?  our first potential buyer comes today. Called before the house was even officially on the market .

Why, you ask? I told you........... the asshat neighbors would gossip and the word would spread.....

okay, looks like I am talking to myself for 2 days here... :lol: hello? echo echo echo....

 

So, MW! I saw Gatsby today. (it's been pouring rain for 3 damn days,and since the hubs had no golf game, we thought

lunch and a movie made sense)

 

It was very true to the novel and wildly creative. Loved it!

 

Dinner is veggie pizza. It's Friday and I am lazy. :) 

 

I have been trialing fresh toms....so far, so good. whoohooo!

I have no idea yet what is for dinner. My husband is working tonight at the grocery store closest to home and I told him to surprise me. :ph34r:

 

Wednesday I woke up sick as a dog. Just nauseous and icky. I felt mildly better yesterday, until I had horrid pain in my lower right side which sent us to the ER. At this point I was like score, I get to have my appendix out... nope. Turns out that they have no freakin clue what the hell is wrong with me. They sent me home drugged up and it still hurts today, just not the curl up in a ball in bed and cry kind of hurt. They did a CT and found absolutely nothing that could cause this. So frustrating!

 

At least I'm a little less nauseous again today so eating won't be difficult to manage at all unless that comes back. (Which is good because the only manufacturer I could get in contact with today for generic zofran told me it is made of wheat and the name brand is like $75 with my insurance. Um.... I'd rather vomit.)

Yay!!! Pizza and movie date...sounds like a purr-fect Friday :)

 

Addie...feel better...glad you are less queezy!!!

 

We had surprise visit from my daughter and the grands....and the parents let us keep the kids all day...they haven't had a date day in over a year....we have had a blast....my men are wonderful uncles and now all are at the park while I prepare bathtime -- then I will hug them, my daughter and her hubby and send them on their merry way.... :D

 

oh dinner for the pipsqueaks was chicken, pears, asparagus and grilled cheese.  uncles are having street tacos that one made...hubby has money in his pocket for a rare gluten treat once he switches the cars back later.  hmmm...i think i will have wine.

Lately I have been eating this recipe a lot, because it is easy to make: in a pot you put some canned chickpeas, tomato sauce with sour cream mixed in, along with some spices (garlic powder, pepper, herbs, cumin etc.)

Then you just heat it up for a few minutes. I usually eat it with rice and kale.

Welcome DJS!

 

Nice to see a new face in this thread this morning -- come back often -- we mix chit-chat with what we are having for dinner.

 

Tonight the youngest is having an all nighter -- can't call them sleepovers when they are seniors in HS ;) 

 

Lots and lots of ribs, mac and cheese, broccoli and some sort of cake!

We had a lovely sunny but chilly day yesterday, and wednt with assorted family to the zoo. It quite a small one, with a lovely playpark. We all had a great time.

Lunch and tea were brown rice, boiled eggs, olives, salad leaves, tomatoes.

Addy, hope you are feeling better.

The more I think about Gatsby, the more I like it. Spectacular.

Grands sound fun ski :)

I would see Gatbsy again! shall we go next week? I love the roaring 20's

The closest I came was playing Flo the Flapper in a production of Good News. LOL 

 

Mw, Your day sounds lovely!!, 

 

It's been raining for days and days and if we still had all the wood we disposed of, we could build an ark. :blink:

People are coming to look at the house today and told the agent to make them take their shoes off. I am tired of wiping the floor

of assorted footprints..... and pawprints.(but that's our Bella's fault LOL)

 

Dinner will be bison chili because it's easy and can cook while I have to leave the house for this "showing".

People walking through my home feels "creepy"--especially when it's the jerkface neighbor's family coming to gawk.

I am not pleased, but the hubs says "who cares? their money is green....". I do not share this logical wisdom.

Movie Date!!!

 

We all go at the same time wherever we are....hmmm across the pond could make this complex...but would be cheaper for me as I would get the before noon discount!!!  Ok...maybe we shoot for the same day -- what's the next "girlie" movie coming out?  I'll check....or we could do a book club --- maybe start with some oldies, but goodies and give everyone plenty of time to read!

 

Last night turned to steak night for eight men and two ladies...I bonked feeding 7 eighteen year olds all day -- so I bought a huge top sirloin roast that hubby carved into steaks -- bibity bobity steak for 9 on a shoestring.

 

Tonight will be ribs...they are soaking in pineapple juice as I type...slow roast then finish on the BBQ.

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Asparagus

Lemon "Brownies" -- stupid name for something similar to lemon squares....

 

Happy Sunday Everyone :)

Any one make some good baked beans. The kind you put bacon or ham in? I think I can buy some from a local BBQ restaurant but I haven't checked the gluten-free status from them today.

      @trents I absolutely understand the perspective of getting off completely from wheat,  but sometimes situation may occur that you won't have choice to eat other than wheat,  my son travels a lot, since they travel in team, it's not easy to go out and find him a gluten free every single time! I have seen, even in NJ I m struggling to find out gluten free stuff, in this country we don't get fresh food in stores, other day i saw gluten free bread so hard that will never feel to eat it! Once in while means once in a while, when there is no absolute option. Here all goes by book, there is no enough scientific research done yet on eating gluten with celiac,  everyone has there own narrative,  only it being said don't eat wheat, but Noone has come up with the experience. And moreover my sons diagnosis is yet to define, whether he has celiac or NCGS. last time his endoscopy came negative hence doctor did not bother to tell us. I hope this time it will be the same case. We are figuring out why his billirubin is high, may be that could be the reason his igg iga test is high, will get check on all and come to the conclusion. My son and us is absolutely fine not eating gluten, but one can't guarantee that every time they will get the gluten free food other than home. I also don't trust under the table of "gluten free products" have see people still have same iga igg count even after following the diet. This is all learnings, will keep him under observation and go through the regular testing to find out how his body reacts to what.  I may sound like a fool, but medical is scam in US, hence i would consult doctors in India. 14 years ago they have announced i had a breast cancer, which was not, since then I don't trust medical system here.

      Here are two older articles we've done on this topic which might be helpful:

      I've been to Italy recently for a wedding and it was excellent. I made my own gluten-free sandwiches/pannini to take on the flights.  Spain is good and you can get good gluten-free breads in the supermarkets there. The UK and Ireland are very good also. Australia would be good since Coeliac Disease is fairly common there ...1 in 70 as opposed to 1 in 100 in other countries. You have to advocate for yourself in restaurants when eating out. I've read about several Coeliacs being cross contaminated from preordered gluten-free meals on airlines. Personally, I wouldn't trust a gluten-free meal on an airline especially long haul. Try the hashtag celiactravel on tiktok and instagram. Loads of Coeliacs posting about their experiences with plenty travel tips. The Atly app has a list of gluten-free friendly restaurants worldwide.
