Tonight my pork roast is actually thawed enough to cook. I'll also throw a rub together for mine then throw it in the rotisserie and get some veggies for with it.

 

Sick or not, life is in hyperdrive this week. First market is this Saturday and I'm nearly ready! Plus my BFF just went part time teaching and they haven't found a replacement for the afternoon class yet so I subbed that half the days this week. (No class Fridays in the summer so I'm not awful at math, it was actually HALF the week. :P) Plus she finally put me to work while I'm at work, correcting papers and fixing the answer keys because they made me crazy. I used to sit and troll the internet or read the whole time other than when students needed me. Working for my money sucks. <_< lol!

I'm having Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti-style pasta with doctored-up ready-made spaghetti sauce that I've had stashed in my freezer in single serving sizes. Yum! This time I'm trying the quick cook

This weekend I made Gumbo for the first time, from Emeril's cook book. I used Bisquick gluten-free Mix and it made a roux just fine, although I got a bit impatient stirring and stirring....but well w

I'm making stir fry, too!  Going to try out two of the SanJ sauces instead of the usual making my own from scratch.

I really wish my husband would eat a stir fry. <_< Our pork roast was itty bitty, and with only a tiny bit left over to make my lunch tonight I'm making a beef roast. Rotisserie again, because why not! My husband says I'm obsessed, pretty much with his mouth full and while talking about how awesome his dinner is. :lol: Second best kitchen purchase we ever made.

 

Well... I've been goofing off online for like an hour or so. I should probably get back to work. :ph34r:

Also, we harvested our first mint last night. I huge bowl full of chocolate mint. It's in the dehydrator now. It may seem like a crime, but my first batch is going into a heating pad for myself and I'm insanely excited. Also thinking of making some brownies or fudge. And we want to make a boatload of chocolate and Moroccan mint extract as Christmas gifts this year.

They make these "dump" cakes at Boy Scouts/  They call them cobbler.  They are also good with a can of pie fillings - apple (with spice cake) , peach, blueberry, cherry - with chocolate cake mix.  They cook them in a dutch oven in the fire (coals on top of lid).

 

and, nowwww...........BACK TO CAKE!!!  hey, ms. k, i has cherry pie filling and a bc chocolate cake - are you saying all i need to do is dump the pie filling in and sprinkle cake mix and then melted butter, bake, viola!  ??

ok, i think next time i make this, i will use a smaller pan lolz because 9x13 is too big  ^_^  so, it's oooogly (looks like the chocolate surface of mars) but it tastes like a chocolate cookie covered cherry <i only ate a little because the cherries had red dye 40 in it and i can't remember if it is my friend or not.  i am definitely eating the rest  :P so i can try again (with a 8x8 pan ha ha probably be too small)  it's too insanely easy to not try again - thank you, ladiesss!!  :)

It's a casserole or crockpot thing.

Tonight we are having oven chicken spinach risotto! Yummy! Love a one dish dinner!

Not in the KFG but in my favorite red enamel coverded iron pan. My hub calls it a fancy Dutch oven. The unfancy one is cast iron and it's what we make the " cobbler" in the fire. Or Gumbo.... Or green chile casserole... Or green chile, egg, casserole.... Hmmmm! Maybe gumbo tomorrow. All official Boy Scout Recipes

omg why can't sick people just stay home and keep their germs to themselves! Hope everybody feels better fast.

 

Tonight is leftovers. I'll eat early and do my nails. Hubs can come home and get his own leftovers. Just got in from PT and picking up some things to finish the last pads. Back to work!

Sick people need to stay at home and not infect me!  This is why I am a germaphobe, lol!

 

Has anyone tried the ancient harvest mac n cheese?  They have all three kinds at my grocery store, but after trying the horrible deboles one long ago, I am hesitant to eat anything but the good 'ol annies classic one.

 

Tonight for dinner will be grilled chicken, carrots, and lundberg risotto.  Tomorrow we are going out to eat so no cooking, just stuffing my face!

I made my very first batch of peanut butter fudge today.  Used Alton Brown's recipe.  Total Yummers.  It's hard to just eat one piece.  Can you freeze fudge?

 

Dinner tonight was ribeyes, sweet pots and sweet peas.

I don't know about freezing fudge... I know it lasts a long time at room temp, and can't think of anything that would make it a no.  Maybe try freezing a small piece to see.

 

Today we grilled burgers for lunch, and for dinner I am going to wrangle my husband for manual labor to help make home made gnocchi.  Buying it gluten-free is like $6 for 2 servings (or 1 large serving, hehe) and I have always been a gnocchi lover so I want to take a stab at making it myself.

probably, but if this were in my house, there would be nothing left to freeze. The recipe says it lasts for a week.

 

 J would inhale that within a few days. ^_^

I don't know if its a cream cheese fudge, cooked fudge or what but we keep fudge for a month in a tight sealed container in the fridge. Take a piece out for 10 minutes before eating if you can wait.

Wait ten minutes... :lol:  Can't do that.  And I think Irish's "inhalation theory" will be correct  :o it's going fast, and so is my figure  ^_^

it's easy, peasy :)  the hardest part was faking a ricer  ^_^  because i don't own one.  i think last time i made it, we had it with sausage, brown butter and sage.  yummmmzzz (now i want gnocchi..... <_< )

 

last night we had greek baked chicken (stuffed with spinach & feta, topped with herbed bread crumbs) with cucumber tzsasizikei <ok, you know, that cucumber/yogurt garlic yummy sauce)

 

we are coming off a rough week here in my town - last week 4 young people crossed a railroad track crossing and were hit by the train.  it was probably driver error but there were no crossing gates and no drugs or alcohol involved.  just tragic.  two of them died at the scene and we have been praying for the other two.  the driver and front passenger lived.  one of the ones who died was the driver's sister :(  all college kids.  we live in a very tight community, so all of our kids grew up together.  one of the boys in the hospital saved 3 kids last winter from drowning when they fell through the ice.........  and he has been released to go home today.  so, there is the first bright spot.  the other boy is speaking now, and recognized his mother.  

 

hug your babies   -_-

yes, that tzatziki is going on my lamb kefta later. (although technically, I should call it madzoon because I am part Armenian and that's what my Gramma called yogurt, but you're probably thinking "it's all Greek to me".. ^_^ )

 

Now, I want gnocchi with brown butter and sage but I do not have the energy to make both. (that bug is still bugging me...). 

 

My profound sympathies on the losses in your community.  :( just tragic. Sending big hugs, hon.xx

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
