I don't.
Why do you think my house is trashed?
I do as much as I can with the energy I have and then I sit around (usually on MDC
).
So *that's* the secret her pie crust! It occurs to me that it would make no sense that I could eat the grease but not the meat...

Want to write more but a lovely apartment just opened up that we need to check out wish us luck and a steady mind tomake a decision.

: So glad your LO is STTN! It's always so nice to get a whole night of sleep!
Good luck on the apartment!

I did a little muscle testing on him this morning because I REALLY want to try to make coffeecake or cinnamon rolls (without the cinnamon of course). He tested okay to yeast (which was a orange/medium intolerance on ALCAT) but bad to guar gum (which must be why that aweseome bread made his stomach worse). He says he's still at a 1 (on the 1-10 pain scale). I wish I had something that would hold stuff together (egg OR guar gum OR xanthan gum OR gelatin), but I've got nothing. Is there an edible epoxy?
Yes iodized salt has corn in it. I now have a little tupperware shaky thing that I'm carrying around with sea salt in it (I found it in my junk drawer when I cleaned it out a few days ago).
I have been sleeping better since starting the Adrenal Support and B-complex. Do those have anything to do with sleep?
The snow is really starting to come down, and DH's follow up cardiologist appointment is tomorrow (to figure out about the hole in his heart). It's about 40 minutes away on a good day. And we're supposed to be in the middle of a Nor'easter tomorrow with 6-12". That should be fun. And if it's a snow day, I have to leave all 3 kids with my father and his girlfriend, instead of just DD2 (they have 2 cats and DD1 is allergic to them). And they're the ones with candy all over their house for my kids to get into. That should be fun.

I'm glad your DS (and everyone else) slept well and doesn't seem to be reacting to the cc'd beef.
I actually seem to remember reading something about an edible epoxy, actually... It was, of course, totally chemical... It probably had corn in it.
I have 2 camping salt shakers (double sided). I carry safe (homemade) seasoning salt in one and safe salt and pepper in the other. I also keep a little bag of safe condiments in the fridge for when we go to the city so that DS doesn't have to have tasteless food when we go to Red Robin's. I got the little bottles they sell in the camping section for shampoo and stuff and filled them with ketchup, mustard, mayo (which I need to find a sub for) and a balsamic vinaigrette (which he likes). I also have a small container (1/4 cup) filled with a safe margarine (although again I have to find a new one) in the bag. They also get sent to school with him for seasoning his food. I want to make up a second "set" so that I don't have to search all over the place for them because he's almost *always* taken them to school the day before we're going to the city.
I know that many rehab centers give their clients B-complex when they first enroll. Partly because the research shows that addicts are usually severely deprived of B-vites and partly to help with sleep. As for the Adrenal Support, my ND told me that it should help me get to sleep earlier and sleep more deeply since the adrenals are what produce the chemicals needed to regulate sleep.

I put it in for another 10 minutes to see if it helps... I soooo want something decadent like monkey bread or coffeecake or a cinnamon roll.
DH thinks he has a cold coming on so I gave him the zinc lozenges that I thought tasted so disgusting. He thought they tasted fine. Huh.

I had the same problem with a cake I made. I wasn't sure if it was the tapioca starch or the sweet rice flour... I thought maybe both (or maybe something entirely else
).
I have a recipe for baking soda biscuits that I've been meaning to tweak and perfect, but it contains soy flour *and* xanthan, and it turns out a little too dry... and it doesn't rise well.
It's edible, but it's more like a pastry crust.
When I manage to find all of my flours so I can bake again (they're still packed
), I'll see what I can do with it. I used to use my baking soda biscuit recipe to make butterscotch rolls (like cinnamon rolls w/o the cinnamon) when I didn't have the patience to make bread dough.
I went into a long diatribe here about my DH's palette. Apparently the internet gremlins think I don't need to share that though, because they deleted it.
I could try it with sorghum...

oohoo!
