We went to PF Chang's today!!! It was good to have some chinese food after 5 years (unless I cooked it at home). I got Chang's spicy chicken and singapore street noodles. I liked them both. We got it to go and took it back to the hospital. We did a walk in order and waited for it. It was super easy and it only took them about 15 min to cook our food. Now if only I had a pf chang's closer to me!!!

Congrats!! I was just thinking of you the other day! Fill us in when you get time.

-Jessica

Thanks for all the great advice and ideas. I'll let you all know if I get to try out PF Chang's!!! Thanks again.

-Jessica

There are lots of sites online that offer gluten-free recipes. For FREE!!! You can also check some gluten-free cookbooks out at some libraries. That might help you decide on what one to spend your money on.

I vote for Annilaise Roberts baking book. It is WONDERFUL!!!

-Jessica

ABSOLUTELY!!! I still love eating. Eating out is a bit of a stressor, but eating at home is wonderful!!

However, I am a person who likes to cook. Possibly that has something to do with it.

-Jessica

I was wondering if those weren't prices beside the items on the gluten-free menu. Thanks for letting me know for sure.

My Grandpa is having heart surgery next week and I am trying to research places close to the hospital that I could eat. I was thinking that if they did take-out I could take it back to the hospital or the hotel. I am sure that people won't be too much into going to a sit down restaurant. Take-out, however, would probably work.

I love the sound of the things you guys have listed so far. Keep em comming!!

Thanks for the help.

-Jessica

I have not had the opportunity to go to PF Chang's yet. Soooo I have a few questions for you.

1) What is the price range?

2) Can you do take out there or is it only a sit down and eat place?

3)What would you recommend to eat?? (what is your favorite thing).

Thanks for the help.

I agree with kbtoyssni, the double standard here is what I am not understanding!?!!? She couldn't eat it the first day because nobody else had doughnuts (ok fine!!), however on the second day not everyone had doughtnuts then either!!! So why in the world did everyone else get to eat them? Did they ask your daughter if she would be ok with that and she said "that's fine I'll just eat skittles"? If so , then it would have been an OK situation. However, if not then it just wasn't fair at all.

-Jessica

I don't understand why your daughter was "required" to eat the same food as everyone else the first day (she couldn't eat hers because no one else had one), while this same principle didn't apply the second day (everyone got to eat theirs even though she didn't have one).

I can kindof see where the teacher was coming from the first day because the whole class might feel left out. It seems like it's generally acceptable for the gluten-free child to eat different food or have to eat healthy food while everyone else eats junk, but not the other way around. But the celiac child will always be eating something different. What if you hadn't tried to match what the class was eating? What if you decided to just send in cupcake? Would that be ok? Non-celiac kids need to learn to deal with disappointment over not having the same food, too. I definitely understand why you're upset, but I think the teacher was just doing her best to try to be fair/equal to everyone. The issue is, when you've got one kid who can't eat the same stuff, nothing is going to be 100% equal for everyone. Unfortunately, I think this situation illustrates how our society tries to be fair/equal. I doubt this is going to change anytime soon.

I would definitely talk to the teacher about what you expect with regards to food in the classroom. I also agree that there's too much food (specifically junk food) in classrooms. Honestly, how do we expect kids to learn when they're eating donuts for breakfast???

I guess we had our hopes up for nothing. I agree with everyone else, I am NOT buying 3 magazines so I can get 1 or two recipes (which I probably would not even use). Pbbbbtttttt on Martha!!!

Happy days are here again!!! I saw on the news this morning that the strike may be over!! YEAH!!! It will still be a few more weeks until production begins on the shows, but there is a light at the end of the re-runs..err I mean tunnel!

-Jessica

I am glad to see they have finally changed their formulation. When I wrote them when I was first diagnosed, they told me wheat and corn for their binders. Change is good!!!

-Jessica

Someone please post the results tomorrow!! (for those of us who are at work with no tv, but of course can check on here to see the results)

-Jessica

I think they took the percentages down to build up anticipation for the announcement tomorrow. There would be no reason for us to watch the show if we all knew who won ahead of time. Have faith, grasshoppers.....

I personally would love it if it had tons of ads in it. I love to read about new products. And the more manufacturers see that there is money in it the more products they will make.

KEEP VOTING EVERYBODY!!!!

It says you can only vote once a day, but the majority of us are voting multiple times daily and it works....so the answer to your question is YES!!! you can vote more than once, and even more than once a day!! VOTE VOTE VOTE!

-Jessica

Can we vote more than once!!!!!

I am more into the commercials that air during the game! ha However, I guess I am going for the Patriots so that they can have a "perfect" season. I think that would be pretty cool.

-Jessica

It currently sits at 56% (us) and 27% (pets) GREAT JOB!!!! Keep voting!! It's amazing what a little word of mouth can do!! ha

-Jessica

I went to their website and they now have a nutritional brochure on it, in the bottom in tiny lettering it says Spicy buffalo and Lemon are gluten-free . Here is the link to the brochure:

Do they actually have gluten-free sauces (so we don't have to bring our own)? This is making me hungry.

Yes, if I remember right there were 2 or 3 sauces that were fine. Then you of course ask them to cook it in a clean pan. You can go to their website and send them an e-mail to ask which sauces (I can't remember which ones). It makes me crave some stir fry also!! And it's not even 10am! ha

-Jessica

It now has a picture of Martha voting and checking the polls. At least she will know thereis a calling for this type of magazine from her!!

Also, if you have a few min. read the messages that are posted with the story, many of them are begging for a allergy/intollerance magazine.

-Jessica

We CAN do it!!!! Keep voting!! YEAH!!

-Jessica

I posted it to my yahoo group. That should get it a bit more publicity!!! KEEP VOTING!!! We can do it!!! It sounds like you can vote as many times per day as you wish.

-Jessica

It says you can vote as many times as you would like so go and vote MULTIPLE times!

Happy 2 year anniversary!! YEAH for you! Make yourself a yummy gluten-free dessert to celebrate.

-Jessica

It would be HUGE to get a big name attached to a gluten free magazine/allergy free!!! VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!

Thanks for the heads up!!

-Jessica

I got this from Delphi. I'm copying and pasting the persons post (as I didn't actually see the show)

Today on Martha Stewart, she had seven employees that had entered a contest for the next big idea for the future of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. One of the employees cannot eat gluten and has suggested a magazine for people with allergies and celiac disease. Martha couldn't decide which idea to pick, so everyone can vote online to choose the next big idea. Please vote - the link is below, and you can read the ideas, then scroll to the bottom for the vote. The magazine idea for people with allergies is not getting many votes - you have until February 7th!

Do a search for Broncobux (Chris), he's a member here on the boards. He lives in vegas, is your age group and has wonderful suggestions for places to eat and how to get the service you need out there!!! Good luck!
