Hey, darling rfc foodies:

The folks who ran that gluten-free challenge (the reason I moved
Thanksgiving) are giving away a bunch of stuff if you're willing to make
a gluten-free dish for Thanksgiving and writing about it. If you don't
have a blog, I'd be happy to post it for you (under your name; you get
the prize, not me).

Maybe I'm just not awake yet, but I don't see what they are giving away.

Er, what? I'm not American. We don't do Thanksgiving in my country,
because it's Not America.

Right. You're not required to do Thanksgiving. You're required to make
Thanksgiving food. I can make foods from other countries without
actually celebrating their holidays, yes?

Although, nothing wrong with celebrating other people's holidays either,
especially if it involves eating their foods! My wife loves to do this.
I think it helps make the world a better place if we share such things.

That's a good way of looking at it.

And I do have some kumara to use up.

Well, otherwise, I have to cop to having made a US-centric post, and we
can't have THAT, can we? ;-) (Love you, darling. Sorry for being
thoughtless.)

Mmmmmm, kumara! I love it; the kid loves it; James says it doesn't count
as food. :-)

Apparently I was on the wrong page. Somehow I was getting one with
Thanksgiving recipes.

Sorry, but I'm not giving up my gluten. I'm a bread and pasta eater and
happy to be one I don't have celiacs disease and don't have any other
reason to divest myself of bread, biscuits or dinner rolls.

There is gluten free bread and pasta. But if you don't have celiac or an
allergy to it there is no reason to give it up.

Keep reading. It couldn't be more buried. They are listed between
all the links to gluten free blogs with Thanksgiving recipes and
reader comments.

That should be a good lesson about never bringing up Thanksgiving
again, young lady. No point in anyone being culturally aware. You
were also being insensitive to the Canadians - whose Thanksgiving is a
different month and day from ours.... Let's not even get into Boxing
Day or Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night.

You've given up enough, so you're absolved. Some of us have loved
ones who are gluten intolerant, so we're looking for tasty gluten free
recipes.

Absolved of what?! I sincerely sympathize with people who are gluten
intolerant. God knows how they manage. I worked with a woman who couldn't
have gluten of any kind. She'd come into to town for meetings. The company
always ordered lunch in and she couldn't eat any of it. She was stuck
eating a salad (and some commercial salad dressings contain gluten, too, so
watch out!). I felt so bad for her

My intolerance is specific to wheat but it fits the same pattern.
Basically I have a mental filter of what is food and what is poison. My
filter has a different list than yours. I eat the food and avoid the
poison. There are times when I don't even notice that there was poison
present.

I figure my dietary restrictions are my issue so I never expect anyone
to plan ahead for them. Sometimes that means I pick the leaves out of
the salad and that's what I eat. No big deal. Not really any different
from how anyone with special dietary restrictions has to function.

It gets easier with practice. Ten years in I've had plentiful practice.

We've been going to the same church camp every summer for the last 25
years. They always try to accommodate those with special dietary needs.
There is usually a vegetarian/vegan option. For other things, at least
they can tell people what's in the food. We got a new head cook this
last summer. The last one thought he had done it long enough (there's
no pay). The new head cook wanted to cater less to the vegetarians.
She also claimed that there were more gluten intolerant folks than
vegetarians. Not to mention that she likes meat and is gluten
intolerant.

Ah, I was wondering about that. Let me guess, you decided to get a leg up
on the season of sharing ?

Keep on rockin' the gluten-free, whatever the season.

I don't know about that. I spent most of my life as a vegetarian and often
found it difficult to get a meal.

I don't have to avoid gluten myself, but I have other food allergies.
Daughter has to avoid gluten. So for the most part it is just easier for me
to avoid it too. For instance, most gluten free pasta has no eggs. And I
can't have eggs.

Interesting! I have been to many dieticians over the years. Most did not
know how to do a vegetarian diet and simply pushed me to eat meat. They
seem to be big on chicken. I guess they figure that they like it so I
should too.

I hate it when I give my daughter something that I think is safe (I tend to
read all labels three times) and then it turns out it isn't! I can always
tell when I see her doubling over in pain.

Some of these labels are so hard to read! And then there is the issue of
cross contamination.

Because the link as written wasn't clickable. So I did a search and thought
I was on the right page because it did belong to GF girl and was about
Thanksgiving. Only when I put her name in and the word "giveaway" did I get
the correct page.

Well, that's just shitty. It's not rocket science to make good,
gluten-free vegetarian food!

What I think is funny is that there is so much good food out there that is
naturally gluten free. But people who are preparing gluten free food for
people don't seem to know this. When daughter went away to camp with her
school she came home starving and sick to her stomach. They did have gluten
free bread for her. They made her a sandwiches for lunch.

For breakfast they just assumed she could have the eggs and an apple. The
other kids got things like pancakes and cinnamon rolls. They didn't even
bother to offer her any bread then.

Dinner was chicken and potatoes one night and then the same gluten free
pasta the other nights. Again, no bread offered even though there was bread
for the other kids.

They provided snacks for the other kids which were not safe for her. So
what did she eat? Apples, apples and more apples. To the point of being
sick.

I would have happily sent in safe food for her to eat, especially at snack
time. And there were a lot of snacks because they were hiking and doing
survival skill type things. But the camp rule was that nobody was allowed
to bring in any food. I did not go along for three reasons. One, I am
disabled and feared I would not be able to keep up with the others. Just
going along wasn't an option. You had to be a group leader. Two I have my
own food allergies and that would further complicate things. And three I
have diabetes and was on insulin by then. So I figured having me along
would be a hinderance. Had I been there, I would have sneaked some food
along for her. But instead, my husband went. He is not a rule breaker.

But there is sometimes an animal product that you can't see. For instance,
lard in refried beans. Or chicken or beef broth used in vegetables, rice or
pasta. For me that wasn't so much of a problem. The main reason I wasn't
eating meat was that I don't digest it well. I can eat refried beans, no
problem. But...

I once went to a Mexican place (chain place, forget the name) and my dad
mentioned to the waitress that I was a vegetarian. She freaked and pretty
much said the only safe thing I could have was the black beans. When I said
the refried beans would be fine, she refused to serve them to me. I was
more than a little annoyed with my dad. I was an adult then and capable of
ordering for myself.

I was vegetarian. Then when diagnosed with allergies to egg and dairy,
vegan. But now I have to eat some meat because I kept getting anemic. I do
not digest meat well which was the initial problem. I find I can have lean
ground beef, and chicken (although I mostly do not like chicken). Can also
have turkey but again don't like it. I occasionally have tuna. I'm sure
other fish would be fine except that I don't like it.

I can not eat soy except for occasional soybean oil and things like soy
lecithin. I had to give up soy beans, soy protein and the like because it
caused a thyroid problem for me. Back in the day I really did eat a lot of
soy. I would buy the beans and roast them for snacks. I ate Tiger's Milk
bars at my job. I was working at a golf course at the time with a bunch of
pregnant women. There was one guy, but other than him I think I was the
only one for a while who was not pregnant. Seemed they were always getting
sick or going to the Dr. or something. So I might go in at 5:00 a.m. and
not get out of there till after 8:00 p.m. I brought the bars so I would
have something to eat if I wasn't able to get a meal. I also ate a lot of
those soy and other vegetable type patties and soy bacon. When I learned of
the connection to thyroid and soy, I gave it all up.

I usually do, but... She loves things that come in individual packets. I
guess such foods were not so common when I was a kid. I know I could make
something and put it in a packet, but to her that is not the same. So I am
always trying to find things she can eat. Her current favorite are little
packets of salami and some apple bars.
