  1. whoohoo!! Go get 'em girl! and if you get it, we'll all have chocolate!!
  2. I agree! Life is very good indeed! Well, I liked that pot roast in the slow cooker thinger so much, it's happening again today. We've got a new fridge coming today (the last thing I am buying for the new owners; they can replace the cabinets!) I have some gardening to do and I have hundred off books and CDs to sort through, donate, pack up or throw...
  3. Happy Cinco de Mayo!! I make margaritas from scratch, but I am sure the mix will be okay for you. I am making chicken nachos for the hubs, grilled tilapia and mango salsa for me. I have been avoiding carbs, but today, I'm going for some black beans and rice. (between the gym and dumpster hurling, I'm really hungry and needing something with "oomph...
  4. Thanks, dear Ski and yes, a guest room with full bath is in the plans.
  5. sounds awesome, except for the soy sauce. I'll have to sub in coconut aminos..but, all "do-able"....... thanks, sweets!!
  6. gawd, that sounds DELICIOUS!! (northern NJ chow mein sounds "intriguing") so..... have you posted this dinner recipe anywhere??...and OINK!
  7. We've been to Churchill Downs twice for the Breeder's Cup races, but never for the KD. And I have never, ever worn a big hat there or at Saratoga where we have seats for the season..(too afraid I'd take out others in my wake if I turned left or right----you know, "the celiac agility" we all have and all) the Lucy Ricardo in me might have my wide brim...
  8. Looks like burgers and asparagus on the grill tonight. It's a glorious day here! And even though I shouldn't have it, we're having champagne anyway----as our building loan was approved and well, it's Kentucky Derby Day! (and I do not like mint juleps)
  9. yes, I always use broc on white pizza or in lasagne....go for it!
  10. Sub in swiss chard. Eat the chard sauteed in garlic and EVOO...you won't care if you ever eat spinach again. She's a hack wannabe. Wanna see good food porn? check out this woman's blog. I have her book and I love everything she does. http://www.cannellevanille.com/
  11. I've made them with lots of veggies and no tom sauce and honestly, I like it better than "conventional Lasagne" Hope you like it!!
  12. I would make a "white" lasagne with bechamel sauce and spinach. Just leave out the toms. http://www.bonappetitfoodie.com/2011/12/recipe-white-lasagna-with-chicken.html or as much as I loathe Martha Stewart here's another http://www.marthastewart.com/867272/spinach-lasagna of course, sub in gluten-free noodles and flour and you're good...
  13. I have said this disease is not a "one size fits all"---- in regards to symptoms, healing times, complications and various food intolerances. I wish I were one of the ones who goes off gluten and "all's well in the land". Some of us take more time.
  14. what's mine is yours, dear girl. I did print off the "my Mom and I are G F" banner and sent it to my Mom. She'll get a kick out of it and stick it on her fridge. Thanks for the link to that site. Tonight is going to be tricky. No pizza. yes, that's right.... Friday night pizza night has been set aside while some of us try to ditch the excess carbs...
  15. I had to have my wedding ring and engagement rings re-sized when I dropped 90 lbs. ...but new jewels are always in order! No more black, navy, or dark brown. ok? ...you're a NEW you! ( and yes, these were my colors for years). I have on RED right now
  16. My mother has a garnet ring and it is quite beautiful. Maybe it's the setting? Her Mother's ring is the reverse---two citrines (AKA topaz) and a diamond. I do not like my birthstone at all . I'm not the diamond. LOL although, I am her favorite, I am sure. I can honestly say I was not impressed by them, hon. K!! I am sure I would like your...
  17. well said.
  18. Those are awesome and your daughter is adorable! Tonight is looking like grilled chicken and asparagus (since it will be nearly 80 today) and NO potatoes. Going low carb for a while to shed some (as LOVE2TRAVEL delicately calls it) "adipose tissue" ...bikini season ( a permanent one it turns out ) is fast approaching
  19. And as always, this discussion (like all discussions on here) comes down to a personal decision to do what one may "need", based on what makes someone have what they deem a "gluten reaction" from a food that does not inherently contain gluten. We will all have to agree to disagree, I think. And continue to take whatever precautions one deems necessary...
  20. I eat locally grown or organic and I wash them with warm water and brush with a veggie brush. exactly!. and my point was about rinsing the beans anyway-- the topic at hand.. I still cannot see washing berries, etc. with soap. Warm water rinses work fine. Buy organic or local .... less chance of pesticides.
  21. I simply rinse them and I have no issues. I am a very sensitive celiac who would have gut pain, nausea, and whole host of issues,including neurological ones within hours if any gluten was "getting me".. I simply cannot imagine washing any foods in soap.. yuk. What will adding soap do that pure water rinses will not? Nothing. Sorry. If...
  22. I had a blast using a paper shredder for 3 days. That thing is awesome! The things "someone" had kept "JIC"...oy. Everyone needs receipts from 1984 right? I should talk, I had student grade sheets, letters, evals, etc. from just as far back. I kept some of them because they meant something to me at the time. One read- through on a rainy afternoon and...
  23. Not I, not me. (I love doing that, did you notice?) LOL I keep sentimental stuff too, but the stuff you have not used in five years? Never going to use it. Let it go.
