Celiac Disease is "Grossly Underdiagnosed" - New York Times

Brilliant, Gluten Intolerance has made the New York Times. The article points to the struggles of atheletes with the disease, whose performance and bodies suffer but they are often poorly diagnosed. Yet once gluten intolerance is recognized, a gluten-free diet (while difficult) can put them back on top again.

Coconut Shrimp & Lentils: Awesome Even When I'm Not All There

Made it again last night, and I am still just really loving this recipe. It satisfies my need for something starchy/Asian-y.

It was good even though I wasn't totally with-it last night. I cooked the lentils in too much water which I didn't drain enough (they were a little wetter than I like) and I forgot to save the extras I cooked - oops! I also did not have any cilantro. The cilantro definitely gives this meal something extra, but it was still really yummy and satisfying.

Also, the last time I made this I used sweetened cocout without realizing it -- so I just added a little honey and stirred up my bowl. I didn't need much tamari at all. Scrumplicious!

Awesome Awesome Autumnal Goodness: Review of SCD Pumpkin Porridge

I made a vat of the SCD Pumpkin Porridge recipe last week. I multiplied the quantities by 4, and used 1/2 a small white cooking pumpkin as the squash. (I wish I knew the name of the pumpkin variety -- it was the one recommended by the guy at the farmer's market as the best for eating.)

The finished product was delicious. I should have taken pictures. I personally didn't need to add any honey (I used to eat oatmeal plain). Really, really good - any easy to spice up any way you desire!

I Never Knew Non-Stick Cookware Was the Devil!

But I do now. I just read this article "On Green Cookware" by Umbra Fisk. All my pots and pans (except the dutch oven) are non-stick. Maybe with the economy shot, I'll find a bargain on copper or ironware?
