Message	A customer gave us a bag of asparagus yesterday. I flipped through my recipe books and found a delicious recipe. It turned out yummy. Here's the recipe: 2 lbs. asparagus 1/4 c. butter or margarine 1/4 c. flour (I used gluten-free flour) 3/4 c. chicken broth 3/4 c. milk 3/4 c. grated Cheddar cheese salt to season pepper to season garlic salt to season 2 Tbl. shredded cheese 5 crackers, finely crumbled (Again, I used glutten-free crackers) Steam asparagus in skillet with lid covered for approx. 7-8 minutes. Remove asparagus from skillet. Melt butter in skillet; blend in flour. Add chicken broth and milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and bubbly. Add Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper and garlic salt until cheese melts. Place asparagus in 10" metal pie pan. Pour sauce over. Sprinkle with 2 Tbl. shredded cheese and crumbled crackers. Broil (yes, you read that right...and that's the reason for the metal pie pan) until bubbly. (It only took a few minutes until it was bubbly.) I served it with a roast and mashed potatoes (used the au jus from the roast for gravy) so it made for a great meal. Strawberry/rhubarb pie with carmel ice cream for dessert and my hubby was a mighty happy dude.

Message	I'm so excited...found two stores here in Omaha with a large inventory of gluten-free foods. Whoo-hoo. I've never been to either one but guess where I'm going when I get off work... to Trader Joe's and Whole Food Market. AND they're only about a mile apart from each other. Hopefully, there is such a thing in the stores as gluten-free bread. With the exception of a hamburger, I haven't eaten bread since last fall. Fortunately, whenever the "starch" bug hits, corn tortillas have been able to scratch the itch. My husband will probably have to take the checkbook away from me and limit how much I can buy, unless the prices are outrageous and then I won't buy anything. But I was told their products at these two stores are more affordable than a regular grocery store. For example, most grocery stores have gluten-free pizza but a SMALL one cost $9.99. No way can I justify spending that kind of money so I buy very little gluten-free packaged stuff. So hopefully, I'll find some things which are within my price range. BUT if all else fails...meat, veggies, fruit and dairy products are gluten-free.

What a guy. I did eat eat the hamburger, and, yes, there were some mild side effects but it could have been worse. Still don't quite understand why gluten affects my joints but it does so woke up in the middle of the night with joint pains in my ankle, knees and wrists. And tingling/numbness in my toes, fingers and tongue. All of that will go away once the gluten has worked itself out of my body. It WAS a delicious hamburger and figured one every 6-7 months won't kill me. Now to lose the 3 pounds I gained while having the "snack-attack" hit me for two days.

In a large skillet, melt butter and brown sugar together then add onion and peppers. Cook until onions are tender (about 5 minutes). Pour in chicken broth and seasonings, stir well. Lay red potatoes on top of broth mixture. Bring mixture to a boil. Cover with lid and simmer for approx. 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Put potatoes in a servig bowl. Quite a bit of the broth mixture will be absorbed into the potatoes but take remaining mixture with onions and peppers and pour over the top of potatoes.

Don't really have a specific recipe but here are the steps I mostly follow: Scramble two eggs and cook 3-4 slices of bacon. Slice an avocado. That makes enough toppings for four corn tortillas. Fry the corn tortillas until they're crispy. (I don't fold my tortillas while frying...just fry flat.) Put shredded cheese on the tortillas and heat in the mircrowave about 20 seconds or so until the cheese is melted. Top tortillas with eggs, bacon, avocado and some salsa. Fold, eat and enjoy.

Mix all ingredients and pour over roast, add water to completey cover roast. Cook on low for 8 hours. Separate meat from aus jus. Shred meat. There will be some fat since it's a chuck roast. Cut off excess fat from meat while shredding. Strain au jus into a bowl using a sieve to drain off spices. Skim fat off liquid. It's easier to skim fat if you let it cool for awhile.

Message	I was at the grocery store a few weeks ago.. and I was looking for some kind of desert. Well, I found these cookies.. they are called "snickerdoodles" or something like that. I really like them. I had no clue what a snickerdoodle was.. but it's kinda like a sugar cookie with cinnamon. Anyway.. I'm hooked.. LOL

Message	For some people kraut has too strong of a flavor. By rinsing and simmering in broth it tones it down a bit. It all depends on your taste buds.

Message	First of all, welcome back Lollie. Missed seeing your posts. D, I'm curious...do you buy your meat north or south of the border? I remember in the early 70's there was a meat shortage in S.D. and for that reason we went to TJ to a meat market someone recommended and bought tons really cheap. We cut and packaged for hours. I remember that after all that work we didn't care for the taste of the hamburger (or I think any of it). anyone remember why there was a meat shortage or what was going on? It must have been about 71 or 72.

Message	I didn't make the comment about pork roast being too dry. Maybe they were addressing the statement to me. Pork roast is very moist and tender when you cook it with the kraut. As far as making gravy...you'll have to choose the kraut or gravy. Maybe shred some of the pork after it's cooked, brown it in a pan and make your gravy from that?

Message	Does over-cooking destroy the nutritional value of foods? I searched the web (briefly) and got 100 cockamamie answers about "raw food diet" etc. The funniest search I saw was over cooking destroys potassium in potatoes. WTF?? From my high school chemistry class I learned potassium was an element. And I also learnt that elements cannot be destroyed except thru a nuclear reaction. Unless your stove is the Binford Reactor Core Special no fission or fusion processes are going on there. I can understand if you boil veggies (taters) and toss the water down the sink some nutrients (potassium) will go down the drain. But if you cook something as a soup (say crockpot) and drink all the juice/broth/soup you are gonna get all the healthy stuff. With nothing lost- correct??? Just asking??

It's easy: 1. Brown Italian Sausage in skillet. 2. Make your favorite spaghetti sauce (my sauce is chunky full of veggies) 3. Cook pasta. In a 9X13 pan: 1. Put pasta as the bottom layer. 2. Spaghetti sauce in middle. 3. Itialian Sausage on top. 4. (Optional: Mozzarella cheese on top of Sausage.) Can make in advance. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until heated through (approx. 30-45 minutes). Serve with salad and garlic bread. My husbands likes to put the sausage on a hoagie or brat bun and pour some of the sauce over that.

Message	When I'm Lazy cottage cheese and yogurt are my best friends. They have a nice long refer life too. They don't go bad 'cause they are already aged and soured.. :-) Hmmm I'd like to try the chicken and maybe a roast blenderized instead of tenderized. I don't know if I would be able to keep my hubby happy during all that. I would have a tendacy to make him eat the blended with me, cause I have a little evil left in me and only if I had a hubby. LOL

Message	yea I found if I cook it really good I don't have to use the blender....I cooked a ribeye the other day and stuck it in the blender with horseradish and it was delicious! Been eating a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese with peaches...I can bake chicken with a french fried onion coating and blend it..also a lot of mashed taters with whiter gravy..so really the only thing it has slowed me down on is snacking...eat jello or pudding for that....its a pain in the a** to do but necessary.... If I want cookies they go into the blender with vanilla yogurt....:) If I am anything I am adaptable...Also Baileys and coffee goes down easy....LOL

Message	I've been eating me a lot of Oatmeal Cookies.. you know, the ones with raisins. They are really tasty.. but I'm a little confused.. whether the the oatmeal and raisins are more better for me then all the sugar and stuff in the cookies. Will I be healthy for eating oatmeal and raisins.. or die from all the sugar in the cookies. I guess I'm an experiment in progress. When I die, I will leave my brain to science.. or better yet, cryogenics.

Message	Going east on Willows his stand is on the left side of the road. There is a good parking area. You will be off of the road. There is a liquor store set way back off of the road. He is in front of it. If you pass the Health Counsel Center, (also on the left) you have gone too far. He is there only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you could get out here on the weekends, I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

Lollie You can probably find fried onions that are gluten free that can be dipped in this sauce. It will be just as satisfying as going out to dinner to eat that onion. I'm in!!!!

Message	For those of you who live in East County, on Willows Rd going towards Viejas Casino/Outlet there is a fruit stand on the north side of the road. He sells bags of avocados (15 to a bag) for $5. I have yet to get a bad bag. Most of his produce is $5 a bag and during the summer he has a great selection of fruit and veggies.

Don't know why they're so cheap here right now but it didn't take much to convince myself to buy them.

Tomorrow I'm gonna do ns meat balls and then I'll have food to last the rest of my days off. I think noodles with the meat balls will be good. Got a giant bag of them today. those huge bags of pasta is hard to find anymore. I think they do that to make more $$$ 'cause you can't make a meal out of just one of the small bags.

Message	My tummy is jumping up and down right now...made some guacamole and had some corn tortilla chips with it. Yee-haw! I used my sister's recipe. I enjoy avacados all by themselves but her recipe sounded good. Recipe: Cut up five avacados and mash them (of course, that's AFTER you peel off the skin and take out the pit) using a masher. Add four finely chopped green onions and a large finely chopped tomato. Then add approx. 4 oz. sour cream (more if you like it real creamy, less if you don't). Mix well and dip away. Yummy, yummy, yummy for the tummy, tummy, tummy. And I wonder why I need to lose 25 pounds. The good news is I have enough left over to last me for several more days. I had lost about 12 pounds ever since going gluten-free and most just popped back on in the past half hour. Sigh. Oh well, somethings are simply worth the inconveniences of life.

Message	That sounds good...and that's not too much garlic??? Does the garlic take over the taste or does it all blend in together? I actually have all the ingredients (except for garlic...only have one bulb), even have gluten-free bread crumbs. Hmmmmmm. Will give it a try in a couple days.

Leave the root intact. Wrap in foil and drizzel some olive oyl. Put in a small pan and bake 30 min 350 deg. Dice the onion really small and brown slightly in some olive oyl. let the garlic cool and pull out all the cloves and cut/mash them up. Try not to eat too much garlic at this point. Big bowl-mix everything really good. Put foil in a cookie sheet then a wire rack on the foil. Roll into 2 inch meatballs. Put the meatballs on rack. Bake 400 deg for 25-30 minutes - gotta eat one to see if they are done. If your foil didn't leak no need to wash the sheet. This is an old family recipe I made up an hour before I started cooking.

You are just reading the cravings in another language...LOL I bought a bucket of chicken and couldn't wait til I got home to eat it, and people were honking at me for eating and driving. sheesh why don't they go find some drunk drivers. Can you tell I'm in a very good mood and already gobbled down two pieces of chicken and coffee from that new drive thru on Palm Ave just next door to Jalisco's on the west side3. Pretty darned tasty and the girl there is awesome.
