    Bunnies are the best. I really wish mine was a cuddly bunny. Brat. Angoras are gorgeous but way too much work, the little fuzzballs. They're all like *POOF* all over the place! Apparently I've decided to be allergic to something. Sometime Saturday I started to sprout hives. Everywhere. My legs are covered and I have them a little bit all over the rest...

    I don't have the physical stamina for mixing by hand and have never had any luck with hand mixers. I own one, but they just don't stand up to the kind of work I put a mixer to. If my house was burning down, I'd save my KitchenAid if I could. It isn't just awesome because it's awesome, I also have one of the attachments for it and want to get more. Right now...

    I threw some pork cube steaks in the fridge to thaw for tonight. I think I'm going to make some plum sorbet to go with it and... I don't know. Other stuff. I'm sure I'll think of something. I stopped at Wal-Mart to get yarn. (the lady told me they had a particular color, she was wrong... I really hate Wal-Mart employees and yes I know how ironic that...

    I like to use my yellow squash with onions. Any ratio works really, but I usually have twice as much squash as onions. Just a little butter in the pan melted, throw in the squash and onions, sprinkle on a pinch of salt and a tablespoon or two of brown sugar then put a lid on it. Cook it for 20(ish) minutes. (probably stir a couple times) It's perfect every...

    Water therapy is great! It's important though to either know your limits very well and stay within them or work with a doctor or physical therapist to get a regimen set up to keep from hurting yourself further. Because you're in the water you don't realize how much you're working your muscles until you get out, or possibly even until the next day. Better...

    P.A.N. brand (at least the one in my pantry) says something about "in a facility with" or "may contain" or something like that. I forget exactly how it was worded. But a local gluten free bakery uses the brand to make arepas for sandwiches and they routinely test it for gluten with some sort of test you can buy to do yourself. They have never (as of the last...

    I pay about $15 for my pasta. (Something like that, it's been a long time because it lasts forever!) The bonus to buying in bulk is not only are the prices great but at many stores when you buy the unopened boxes you get a 10% discount off the shelf price. If you're in the west or midwest there is something called Bountiful Baskets that may be in your...

    I use three forms of natural pain relief. With my CRPS I've had to get creative because I hate the opiates I'm on and take them as little as possible. The first, as you mentioned is heating pads. For people capable of using them, ice is also a possibility. I unfortunately can't use ice. The second thing I use us essential oils. For me, ylang ylang and frankincense...

    Some of the major food groups are milk, cheese (yes, they're different food groups) bacon and chocolate. So if you have milk with your muffin you're covering two food groups for supper! Sounds good to me. I had SO MUCH FOOD! Talked to lots of people, made new friends. (don't remember anyone's names ) Had a blast and generally feel awesome for letting...

    I order whatever makes me happy to drink at restaurants. I have a phone with internet so I can check while I'm there on an ingredient list. If I want a milkshake, I ask them to clean the stirry thing that they mix it with before making mine. If I'm not eating I usually go for the more expensive and fancy drinks on the menu. I always make sure to know that...

    I got out a container of my husband's spaghetti sauce. I have a jar in the pantry in case I'm hungry tonight. We'll see what happens. Tonight is the local support group's annual pot luck in the park. Every year I skip it and the cookie party. I'm always paranoid. What if they have a shared kitchen, what if they screw up one ingredient, what if what if what...

    I buy my pasta in bulk. I don't buy it from the bulk section of the store because of the CC risk, I just buy the 10 pound unopened boxes of pasta. I get my penne and macaroni this way. My exception is spaghetti, which I buy Barilla brand. It's quite good and is something like $2.25 a box. Sometimes I find coupons, sometimes I don't but I got sick of having...

    Hey! I'm a nice person. Sometimes. Well, in public anyway. Maybe that's not entirely true. I'm nice to customer service people! Mostly because I know how hard it is. Amended: I'm nice to my servers. Always be nice to servers. They can spit in your food.

    The next time you come Karen maybe there will be an In N Out. We have 10 now and they're opening more! Also, look up The Pie. You'll never feel better about a pizza, both safe and delicious. They're in the city, and a few other locations, I guess what you'd call a local chain. Heck, I'll come have a pizza with you! Rule in my house, never make fried...

    I NEVER trust pizza places, with the exception of The Pie (separate kitchen) and Malawi's (GIG certified). We never eat the same things, that's why we never share. He's mister "I hate vegetables blah blah blah" lol. I like to pack things like frozen grapes, hard boiled eggs, and snack bars. Easy to pack and doesn't take up much space.

    Sorry for the confusion, my comic con is not San Diego. I'm in Utah and mine is the Salt Lake one. But it is nearly as large, we're expecting 120,000 people this fall! Even without that though, we're already the third largest in the country and it's only our second year, third convention. (we do 2 a year, we're super geeks) The PF Changs is 3ish blocks away...

    I love In N Out! They don't offer much, but what they do they certainly do right. Fresh cut fries, never frozen burgers and I love the shakes. I've never gotten sick from eating there and I wouldn't hesitate to go to any of their locations and feel safe eating. I'm thinking I need to find the closest one to the convention center and see if I can get there...

    There is no reason an 8 year old needs gluten in their diet. There is also nothing I can think of that she'll really be missing out on without it, especially if she can eat whatever she wants outside of home. I eat bread and cupcakes and brownies and whatever else I want to eat, mine just doesn't have gluten in it. There really doesn't seem to be any point...

    The last time I had leftover beef I made a pasta steak salad. I just mixed more or less equal parts ranch, sour cream and mayo for the sauce (I didn't measure anything, I just eyeballed it) and added whatever fresh herbs I had on hand (although none would have worked) and whatever veggies were in the fridge plus some frozen peas and macaroni which I only...

    So I totally forgot about this over the weekend. Back when I was first diagnosed my MIL said something about calling a friend back in CA who knew something about a way to make bread gluten free by kneading or beating the gluten out of it. Something to that effect. Even though I was newly diagnosed with the relative knowledge of a babe, it took every ounce...

    I seemed to have a lot of issues in the months before diagnosis with fatty foods, but I think that it was probably more related to my completely useless gallbladder. I ended up having it removed in an emergency surgery which is also when I was diagnosed. Before my gallbladder started acting like a petulant toddler having tantrums constantly I never noticed...

    I just found out a local company makes a whiskey salami with a whiskey from a local distillery. And it's on sale. Looks like I need to go shopping at a particular store this week. I love trying new and exciting things!

    Our waffles were good. They weren't bland or anything, but they were plain. I think in the future we'll add fruit or something to them. I do really love my new waffle iron though! Cooking four waffles at a time really makes it go fast so I'm not in the kitchen all night making dinner. And there are plenty of leftovers for breakfast and snacks. I want...

    The app for Smith's. It's in the Kroger family of stores and it was my understanding that all of them have their own apps. They probably have similar coupons too. I can't honestly remember now though if it's a regular coupon or a "customer best" coupon which is one of the ones tailored to me and how I shop. They just loaded those again at the same time this...
