If you go to the store to buy fresh mint it is $3-4 for a teensy bit, I figure I have easily $100 worth of mint in my yard right now. And it is probably 500 kinds of illegal to sell it. <_< We have a market here that sells things like that, but there is all sorts of licensing and crap. At least once I have it as extract and oil it will be far easier to use. Heck, I can even use the oil to just make the house smell good. ^_^

 yup, we'll smell good and make lotions and potions and extracts....but I swear to the heavens, I'll still have a big stupid plant  :lol:

 

wish I could grow a "money herb" this big......how cool would THAT be??

Got a text yesterday afternoon asking me to sub today. Sure, what could possibly go wrong working on a Monday right? Well it turns out I hadn't left my house all weekend, not since Friday, so I didn't know what was waiting for me out front when I left my house. I was all set to head off to work this morning and hopped in my Jeep only to realize there was something poured all over the driver's side of my windshield.  <_< Looked like soap, stoopid teenagers. I flipped on my wipers and figure I may run out of fluid but this will only take a few minutes and it'll clean right up right? Nope. It was soap poured over motor oil poured over polyurethane. You have got to be f'n kidding me right?  :angry: The worst? Even though I know who did it, the cops said that unless the stupid b%$@# outright admits to it there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

 

So, instead of showing up to work at 7:30 like I'm supposed to. I was leaving my house at 7:35. I can not even say in words how hard it is to get that crap off of a windshield. Plus I really wish I had an outlet for my anger right now. Instead of being able to headshot a few guys in Fallout and watch them pop cleanly off so I can feel better I am smiling and helping students and being polite, which while this positively angry makes me just a little dead inside. 

 

So... dinner? Psh... l-e-f-t-o-v-e-r-s. I'll make some gravy, pour it over some warmed up roast and veggies. Maybe I'll cook up some squash or something as a late night snack. I've got a couple of teensy little yellow beauties to eat.

most people around here are afraid of us.  that's the way we like it.  (plus my hubs 'boyfriend' <"your boyfriend is texting you"< is the mayor lolz)  and we are armed.  and we both have our carry permit.

Adalaide Mentor

I obviously need to make people more afraid of me. There is no law in Utah preventing people from openly carrying so maybe I should just start that. That'll make people a bit scared. Nothing is legally stopping me from shopping at Wal-Mart with a shotgun or a handgun as long as it is openly carried and secure and unchambered. Or you know... concealed with a permit. But that doesn't scare people. Clearly I need to cultivate my scary person attitude/persona. And make friends with our mayor.  :lol: Local primaries are in two weeks, then I can find out who I need to buddy up to.  B)

I doubt I'm ever all there so I can hardly fault anyone else for not being altogether there.  :D At least you're getting there. Hopefully all those mens are taking good care of you. What would we do without our mens?  :wub:

I haven't entirely decided yet on dinner. I'm thinking though that it'll be something easy to eat, today was the next to last of my dental work. WOOHOOOOOO!!!!! All I have left is to choose between a bridge and an implant and I'm waiting until next year because I'm at my insurance limit this year.

 

For sure I am thinking cheesebread. Soft, easy to chew, but not chew free so I feel like an invalid. Maybe I'll toss together a last minute meatloaf or something. I feel half starved to death because all I had for lunch was a Chobani. Too close to dinner to truly eat, and not enough self-restraint to simply snack. I need to just keep telling myself that being a little hungry once in a while is not going to hurt me. Or my butt.

 

I already have plans for tomorrow though. BLTs! I'm going to roast my little yellow cherry tomatoes, pop their skins off, mush them, chill them and use that as a spread instead of just plain tomatoes sliced. I have some of that Hormel uncured bacon in the fridge I need to use up. And lettuce of course. Ranch instead of mayo because... well why not! And all on toast. Sounds positively like perfection to me. But tomorrow, when I am more comfortable chewing. :D

Rehab is for people who want to quit their habits. I am never going to kabana boy rehab. No how. No way. I also will not be held at all responsible for anyone's craziness. Heck, I don't barely let anyone hold me responsible for my own. :D

tonight I'm cooking pork apple salad with quinoa.  I've just used  a bit of salt and pepper and cut up the pork into squares, then I'm going to cook that with a bit of olive oil, some pecans, broccoli, green pepper, (wish I had green beens etc) then I'll let all that cool down and mix it in with a cut up apple, spinach and some other lettuce and maybe some broccoli slaw. I wish I had some balsamic vinegar because that would be really good reduced.

I'm not supposed to eat chicken skin, but fortunately my husband doesn't like it. So if it was all gone before he was home he would never know! Well... except the whole migraine and being half blind thing, but it is possible that it would be almost worth it! Just tell him you made skinless chicken. Think he'll buy it?

GottaSki Mentor

So I am still on extremely limited Meat, Z- or Sweet Potato Spirals with Veggie meals which is boring and have not helped the men cook their food in over a week...

 

but I did make a twist on my old Chocolate Mousse Recipe -- trying to limit even Choc for a bit -- Hubby walked in and asked what I was making but I had no idea...it is now called "Snickerdoodle Mousse" -- will need some adjustment, but it wasn't bad...didn't set in the frig so the remainder will be "Snickerdoodle Ice Cream" tonight.

 

Coconut Oil

Coconut Milk

Agave

Vanilla

Cinnamon - went light as I couldn't remember...but fairly sure this is a Histamine

 

Next batch will likely be simply Vanilla Mousse.

Huh...how does the Chicken Skin react with you?  Since I've given up so many other things - stealing Crunchy Chicken Skins has before meat hits the table has become a guilty pleasure for me.

      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.
    • Jack Common
      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams

I'm not IgA deficient as you can see so I don't need to do this Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG test. But I do because it's sometimes not in the normal range. What do you think this time? I think I don't have celiac disease. But this test...

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.
