Really is great when our family starts to see improvement themselves from our healthier diets.  Funny...even my kids are saying that they ate this or that at their friends homes or out and about and it just doesn't taste as good as it used to. 

 

Oh Welcome to the dinner chat - glad you stopped in - come back anytime -- we are always open ;)

Welcome, 28in4dave!  Glad to have you here.  :)   I am definitely with you on the fresh thing.  I make nearly everything from scratch including BBQ sauces, ketchups, mustards, all sorts of preserves, sauces, pesto, etc.

 

Tonight we are grilling thick bone-in pork chops that I brined, olive oil-rubbed baked potatoes (with bay leaves and garlic in between the halves) and spicy Japanese cucumber salad.  Oh, and something with strawberries - I will probably make shortcakes.

Welcome to the chat!

We are not crazy on here, We are not crazy on here. We are not crazy on here. (if we repeat it often enough, we believe it :lol: )

 

Some of us (meaning me) call them "encores"..not leftovers....as in, it is so good, you want an "encore"....okay, that's probably only funny to me.

 

Anyhoo...

 

YO SKI!

I am making your quickie baked beans version and the house smells fabulous!! will make a great impression when they come to gawk tomorrow at the showing.

 

Country Ribs from the butcher--done in a homemade BBQ sauce plus mango juice--also simmering slowly in there.Some cole slaw on the side.YUM

 

I also confess to drinking champagne right now  because...WHOOHOO..we signed the building loan for the house !

 

meanwhile all this cooking is being done while the air conditioners are running BECAUSE IT IS AN UNREAL 93 HERE IN NYS...meanwhile, in FLA -- it is a lovely 80 today. :mellow:

 

Shroomie is laughing at me right now, I know she is. :D

made gyros from buffalo bison meat and bacon, ate them on premade udi's pizza crust - yumzz :)

 

last night we 'lobster boiled' (with corn and potatoes) as celebration - only have the oldest and her hubs and adorable grand daughter once a year due to the USAF - so we splurged (or so it started out) i actually ended up with a deal after the fish counter guy over charged me.  i pointed out his mistake and he was so afraid of trying to get the live lobsters back out of the bag to re-weigh them, he charged me 2.99 per lb lolz i guess if you want to win at negotiating, take a lobster!!

 

tonight is special request shrimp picatta w/parslied potatoes and strawberry salad.  <grew the strawberries i am soooooo excited :D

 

ps - i think i got potato skins back - so far so good ;)

and a whoot! whoot! on the signing the loan docs :)

 

toddling off to refill the whine--- oh I mean wine -- ya it was that type of day

 

but i got a b%$@#in little chair raft when combined with my little rainbow unbrella makes an adorable image as a float in my salt water pool -- not...but I don't give a damn.

 

dinner was steak with zucchini and red onion served poolside by my personal cabana man-- sorry just can't picture hubs as cabana boy.

 

the men are off cycling "critical mass" -- hundreds of cyclists take over the city streets while I sit home and worry -- at least the son that recently decided he no longer needed a helmet...left with helmet in hand...I slipped him five bucks and said I am willing to bribe him to protect his melon... if he is stupid enough to not want to.  I'm sweet that way  :wub:

I ended up with too much sun yesterday, and fell asleep on the couch. Mr Mindwarp woke me up for chicken and rice.

I am starting a whole30 again today, but I have stayed pretty clean since my 1st one in January. So, no rice or white potatoes, and cutting down on nuts and dried fruit. The weight loss slowed, and I still have around 45lbs to go.

More sun today :) (maybe not too much though...)

Hi w8in,

Yes, it is a version of paleo. It has turned my life around since January. How is your daughter getting on with it?

Dinner tonight was Thai green curry. My 1st since gluten-free last September. It was divine. Been about 6 hours and so far so good....

Did someone say BACON>>>>Dancing_Bacon_by_mrmaiden23.gif

 

In all the time I spend here, my husband has never noticed the bacon before. Last night he looks up and gets this "look" in his eyes and is like.... "I want dancing bacon" in the most pathetic adorable way. :lol:

 

I know it is unoriginal at this point and I probably sound like a broken record, but we're doing burgers tonight. I'm sure I'll think of something to have with them.

 

In exciting news, I went to the store Thursday night and wondered down a frozen aisle which never happens and noticed an entire shelf of Genius bread with a price label of $1.50. I grabbed my husband and was like, does that really say a buck and a half? I've seen people say this is good bread, but for all I'm spoiled in the city have never seen it before so I grabbed a loaf. I went back yesterday for 5 more. :D

My Mom LOVES the genius bread. I have not had it yet--not available here. Enjoy!!

 

I LOVE burgers( I admit it) and we had them tonight with asparagus on the grill. It's 93 dang degrees here.

There was more bread than I could count Thursday night. When I went back Friday afternoon there was maybe a dozen loaves left. The tag said close out sale so I am assuming that now that I found it and love it I will never buy any again. :( I suppose I should get over this because it is as nutritionally useless... where the bread I get at Costco has a veritable butt-ton of fiber. I just couldn't pass up such a good deal on bread that when I got it home tasted so much like.... BREAD!!!! (I have only had it as toast so that is the only opinion I have of it so far but omg I almost died when I popped that first piece.)

 

Anyway, to the reason I popped back in here. I was goofing off poking around yahoo a bit and found an absolute gem of a recipe that I just had to share. I think I just found the best ever summer BBQ recipe that will knock the socks off everyone invited. Bacon wrapped burgers. Not like I've seen before where they wrap a piece of bacon around the outside of a burger... no, this is serious business. Cut lengthwise to work better and basket weaved bacon wrapped burgers. I'm in love! :wub:

Yep, slightly grumbly guts but not intolerance symptoms. I reckon I can do it occasionally.

Hope that hip is better. I am liking the sound of that pool, ski :).

I'm off to buy a few more chair rafts...amazing how much fun we can have with a simple little pool -- one bonus is it was perfect temp within a day -- whereas my friends with beautiful built in pools are waiting for the water to warm up -- if i ever do get the beautiful pool...me thinks I'll go shallow and solar -- although I love to dive and always wanted a 9' deep end :D

now you're just going crazy  :D  

 

(and i really want chicken and waffles now)

 

and we are having:

 

chicken <no waffles> with wild mushroom & balsamic cream sauce

orzo for the gluten eaters, gluten-free noodles for me

A VEGGIE i told them to get whatever they want

 

today is my oldest daughter, son-in-law and grand-daughter's last day here - they are afraid to cook in my kitchen so they have been eating take-out food for breakfast and lunch all week.   which works for them because they live in a little town in new mexico that has hardly anywhere to eat out lolz.

      Are you following a strict gluten-free diet? When you refer to ttg I assume you mean ttg-iga and not ttg-igg?

      Does autoimmune thyroid disease (Hypothyroidism) elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endoscopy in 2021 which was negative. Diagnosed with Autoimmune thyroid disease this year and tested for celiac disease as two diseases often coexist. First results showed ttg  of 43 , total iga in range and negative for ema . Dr wanted to retest in 12 weeks and I’ve just had results with ttg dropping to 39, total iga in range but did not test EMA. The only thing that has changed between 2 and 3 test is being on levothyroxine for my thyroid. I don’t know whether I should have a second endoscopy? Dr is seeking advice from gastroenterologist. i did read that Autoimmune thyroid disease /Hashimoto disease can elevate ttg levels. Any advice please?

      Confused with test results

      By Dhruv · Posted

      @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.
