The wonderful thing was that it was a gorgeous day in Massachusetts for apple picking, which is a New England tradition I don’t think we’ve ever missed in our 14 years here ~ warm, sunny, and perfect for seeing the changing colors in the trees. The sad things were that we were dong it without… Read More Gluten Free/Paleo Friday ~ Exporting Apple Butter
Before I tell you about our mushroom outing and observation, and about a meatball soup we tried this week, I just have to share a recent discovery about the connection between Celiac Disease and coffee. I found a message in my Facebook inbox today from a friend who figured I already knew it, but thought… Read More Gluten Free/Paleo Friday ~ Mushroom Spores & Meatball Soup (Coffee Concerns, too.)
It really started several years ago, this toying with the idea of restricting my diet even MORE than it already is, but this magazine that I bought to read on the plane to Texas last month included the compelling evidence I needed to make me stop toying and start practicing. I’m sort of scared to… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ One Month of Paleo
It was a really disappointing semi-final baseball game last night for Kory and the Amherst High School team. They lost by one point. The last at bat, we all really thought they would tie it up or pull ahead, but it was three pretty quick strike-outs, and the game was over, meaning no more baseball… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Avocado, Arugula, & White Bean “Pita” With A Side Of Baseball And Flying South
Finally! Finally I’m taking a few moments to post on my blog, which I just realized has lost it’s free template graphics I installed years ago. Goodbye cute scroll-y flowers in the left side bar. Hello, “Sorry. This person moved or deleted this image.” Didn’t that Photobucket member realize that her free blog template design… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Popsicles, finally!
It’s going to be 80 degrees and sunny here today! Robert and I went for a run this morning, and then had our tea and breakfast out on the picnic table. I could smell the lilacs blooming in my neighbor’s yard. Hoping the vitamin D would give me a little burst of health and strength,… Read More Sweet & Spicy Quinoa Porridge {& Running power}
Well, it’s cold, damp, icy, and grey around here today, and though we’ve had a FEW spring-like days, the BBQ grill is still hibernating in the garage. I can hardly wait to roll it out and start grilling and eating outside, but it feels like that time might never arrive. I’m wearing a sweater and… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Maple Ginger Chicken Oven-Kabobs
Mexican food is still my all-time favorite cuisine ~ even after all these years of living in the land of lobster, clam chowder, corn chowder and no Tex-Mex. At a restaurant, I would typically order something like tortilla soup or enchiladas{after eating way too many chips with salsa}, but for at least the last two… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Fish Taco Fascination
Happy Good Friday! I have had a busy day already, and now am heading out the door to take Kory to the airport. He’ll be visiting two colleges there that he’s been accepted to, but has never seen. He’s now got only one month left to decide where he’ll go to college in the fall.… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Deviled Eggs {Lent Day #46}
Passover, Good Friday, and Easter are just around the corner, and I can hardly wait! I think it is my favorite week of the year. We’ll do a Passover Seder for over 100 people next Wednesday night at church, a Crosswalk through town on Good Friday and later that evening a sort of Tenebrae service.… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Brisket for Passover {Lent Day #39}
