I am having liver (dredged with flour and pepper, fried hot'n'quick) in a sandwich.

Easy and quick to make, delicious with a scrape of butter!

:wah: You get used to them when you have no choice! The ones with chocolate on are slightly more palatable!

I have the apple flavored ones, and the plain ones I put peanut butter on.

Betty and I do not have a choice, dear Bill. We cannot eat the bread.

Do you avoid just the bread or all wheat products?

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 4:20 am

All the gluten, I cannot have it anymore.

I use the rice cakes, rice wafers, corn tortillas-fresh and already fried up. I just make my sandwiches in the tortillas.

I've got to avoid wheat and gluten :-1 the choice out there is getting better though, but it's hard work reading the ingredients of everything.

Terer may be useful stuff at:

Is spelt flour any good, if you can't have wheat??

Surely you aren't condemned to eating squeaky polystyrene for ever!

I've tried spelt flour and had a huge reaction to it, that was what lead me on to figure out that I'm also allergic to gluten.

Spelt is ok if you only have the wheat allergy.

Chonsi, you always drink Diet coke, I had to give up coke as it contains wheat derivitives :-1

Those are very good links, Bill.

Yes, you can make your own bread made out of rice flour, and I once got the pancake mix and made home-made pancakes. You can get the pasta too made out of gluten-free ingredients.

Yes, it will always be no more flour and oats for us. Don't miss the oats much. I am lucky it didn't kick in until last year, my sister always had this ever since she was a kid. Almost killed her until they found out what it was, but that was back in the 60s when they didn't know as much about it.

'Snice. The seasoning, the frazzled exterior and softer (but still cooked!) middle,

with a slice of middle-cut bacon.... the thin outer parts of the lobes are best, not

the thick inside bits with tubes...

I might buy some of this "Dove's Farm Gluten Free White Bread Flour" ("Created

especially for breadmaking this flour is a unique blend on rice, potato and tapioca

flours with added natural gum for baking strength. Great for domestic

breadmaking machines and oven baking") as an experiment, since I already have

a bread-making machine. I've never tried it.

It's done us a favour in this household really, no processed foods from the freezer, everything is prepared from scratch. I've had my childrens friends round for tea that have sat at the table and looked at me in horror because I expected them to eat Cottage Pie and veg, they wanted Pizza and chips becasue thats all they know!

I know what you mean, Pinky. What actually are they? Or perhaps I shouldn't ask :-5

Just don't expect it to be like 'bread' as you know it!! :wah:

It's a lot denser, and you can buy it in most supermarkets, you'll have to locate the specialist diets shelves though, they're not very big!

They're just blood vessels. The liver is an organ of major, major importance,

and is supplied with both arterial and venous supply for its function via all

those "toobs".

I could do a better job than that!

Are you involved with schools, then?

sunny104 · Post by **sunny104** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 9:35 am

the school had a little breakfast for all the parents after the kids were in their classrooms, I thought that was so nice! :-6

I had a strawberry and the bits of blueberry muffin that my 3 year old was feeding me!

(I can't eat so early in the morning...)

Are you being punished ? Who did this to you ? Do you want me to call someone ?

Pinky, you're my kind of girl. Nothing better than a artery-clogging breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits and mama's flour gravy. Yuuuum-Yum.

observer1 · Post by **observer1** » Tue Aug 15, 2006 8:25 am

I've just been munching on plain saltines all morning. Soon lunchtime though!

I brought in leftover biscuits & sausage gravy for lunch.

I had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich this morning.

Liver for breakfast?
