What gluten thing do you miss the most or are you like ******** it, this is too delicious, I will deal with the allergies and eat a little bit?
This is random but my ex mother in law, I kinda got along with. She stays in my head for one saying "the price comes out in the end." She use to say it in Spanish. And second she use to make Johnny cakes and then cut them open and butter them and fill them with saltfish. To this day it is one of the best things I ever ate. Do the Caribbean or Central & South American guys have a similar thing? PS: a Johnny cakes is like a biscuit but instead of baked, it's fried.
So, Haji (Ha-ZHEE) ? Yup, that's what I was told. Haven't tried this. It'll almost certainly mean getting someone else to make it, because I've never actually cooked liver, just eaten other folks'.
Not to speak for Sounders, but real celiac’s disease is not a mere allergy. It’s as bad as getting food poisoning. If there was an epi pen type solution, they’d be using that for even tiny bits of gluten that gets into their system. There’s no “******** it, this is too delicious.” It’s hours/days of grief.
I remember Mom went on a health kick in the 70s - grapefruit, wheat germ, cottage cheese and Country Crock margarine (or oleo as Pop called it). Turns our margarine was not so good for ya.
Bread (including croissants, pain au chocolat, etc.) Fries (when I can find them cooked in a dedicated fryer I go nuts) Beer at a pub And no, a little bit is not good. The last time I was "glutened", someone giving me something with gluten in it that was supposed to be gluten free, within three hours my digestive system was violently expelling all contents from both ends and I ended up unconscious on the floor of my hotel room. Yeah, it's an autoimmune disease with no cure. It's really bad.
Yeah, it's not an allergy. Your body actively attacks itself if it detects any gluten protein. It will completely destroy the lining of your intestines, etc. Every meal cooked by someone else is a scary proposition - you just don't know if they checked every possible ingredient for hidden gluten, if they used unopened/unused things (like butter), if they scrubbed all pots and pans, cutting boards, etc., to remove any trace of gluten cross-contamination. Pot-lucks and buffets are totally out of the question (people in buffet lines frequently use the same serving utensils for different items, thereby contaminating everything). You'd be surprised how many things that might naturally be gluten free may nonetheless be possibly contaminated, such as nuts, given they might have been processed on the same equipment as wheat products. Unfortunately, America doesn't label products as well as Europe, but Europe allows things to be labeled "gluten-free" if they contain less than 20 ppm, which can still be dangerous for a celiac. So even products that are labeled "gluten free" might not actually be gluten free. This includes some supposedly gluten-free beers, which are actually gluten-removed and not "made without gluten", as the enzyme used to remove the gluten might not actually remove it all, but still enough to be labeled "gluten free". Thus, I have to do my research on any "gluten free" beers to see if they are made without gluten or gluten-removed. It's a real pain and no doubt irritates servers, wait staff, etc when I have to ask 20 questions just to get something simple. You really have to trust those people who make minimum wage or less that they actually know what they are talking about. Basically, if someone else has prepared the food, you have to make sure you are back home/hotel room two hours later just in case. It's rather scary when traveling internationally - either you go without food for 24+ hours or you risk it (I've been "glutened" twice while flying to New Zealand - thankfully the last time I was able to get to my hotel before the reaction started, as it was from the breakfast we had just before landing and customs/immigration were empty so I was able to breeze through). It's not always easy to take food with you when traveling internationally, especially if you cross through multiple countries getting to your destination, as I often do.
Heinz wants to convince Chicago that ketchup and hot dogs can co-exist https://www.yahoo.com/news/heinz-wants-convince-chicago-ketchup-052056131.html https://www.heinz.com/smack
The only times I use ketchup is sometimes on fries, meat loaf/burger or fried egg sandwich. That's it!
Hot dogs are like pizza. They need lots of things on them. Nothing worse than meat and bread with nothing or not much else.
I miss the good ole days! Thanksgiving Day ovalball game between Holyoke and Chicopee HS. Steamed natural casing furter and bun w/mustard, relish and onion...$.15. I rarely could afford more than one.
Most smaller-town games still have someone on the grill in my experience. Burgers, dogs, Polish, with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, relish (sometimes homemade chow chow and corn on the cob if you're at one of those schools where there's no snotty admin afraid of a lawsuit). I've taught at two schools where there's a permanent brick grill near the concession stand. Unfortunately, I grew up in a town with five schools and two muni stadia- one for middle school (also used by the HSs on Friday night- Middles rarely played in the evening or on Friday) and one for the high schools.
