I Ate Jell-o

This is a nice little experience that happened to me lately.

Near me was a "church fete" recently and folks had donated goods to some of the stalls.

Lo and behold on the Produce stall was a packet of Jell-O (coconut variety) and a tin of baked beans with ham and maple syrup.

Perhaps some immigrant Americans had brought them for their initial period before they discover shops, etc, found them surplus and donated them.

I snapped them up like a flash.

I thought Jell-O was wonderful, it is like our 'Angel Delight' but far nicer as it is smooth.

I had half the can of beans on gluten-free-WF bread this morning...

Life has these little 'magic moments' doesn't it, which are full of meaning. Someone cares!!!

:P

Haha...that's awesome! At first I was confused, then I remembered that you don't live here, so you wouldn't have tried it b4. Nice!

:D Hey, I haven't had jello for 10 years and just learned it is gluten-free. I mentioned it to my Mom and she made it for me during visit home on sunday (orange flavoured, with coolwhip). What a blast from childhood (and easy for her to remember). I think sometimes our families are overwhelmed by all the rules. Jell-o is a pretty safe choice at shopping mall cafeterias as well.

There was a further, amusing thing about that fete.

All ladies were invited to buy a donated hat to raise funds so there was this particular lady I know, very stylish and dignified, in a most stately hat, manning the bric-a-brac stall.

She is very outgoing so she was actively trying to interest passers by in the goods.

The item I most remember her trying to palm off on everybody was ... a toilet seat!!!!!

My excuse I gave her for not buying it was: "I've been already!"

:lol:

That incident came back to me and I've noticed we enjoy our "basic" humour.

:D

Jell-o has been my favorite dessert since I was little! I was so glad to know it was gluten-free!

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      There is dextrose in table salt?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.
