Excitement I

A bunch of people I know did 365 day projects last year.  So here I go, jumping on to that bandwagon.

mundane+art=humor or so I am hoping. 

Here we go

day one

Would a trip to NYC be complete without a Black and White cookie?  Plastic wrapped one is the GF one we found on the upper west side.

Long time no post

Its been a long time since I've posted and a lot has changed. My back has been killing me. The man and I decided that we ought to remake ourselves. We sprang for a new king sized bed in May. We bought an eco friendly mattress which left us in the position of needing to find a new bed frame. I searched high and how and finally stumbled upon homeandlving.com. What a fantastic resource for those of us who like to let our fingers do the research!

Not only did I find a great selection here but they also ship for free and don't charge tax! No big box can claim that. We haven't bought furniture in years but I totally fell in love with the ! Zen Collection, White Bonded Leather Tufted Bed by Diamond Sofa which can be found here:

bed frames

I totally fell in love with the wonderful button tufting on this bed! My back is now happy in the morning!

New Update on Dr Green's Celiac Bible

I've been anxiously awaiting the updated version of Dr. Peter Green's Celiac - A Hidden Epidemic. I FINALLY got it yesterday and all I can say is WOW. There was SO much good info in the first edition but this one blew me away.

Dr. Green addresses all sorts of new tests, saliva, stool samples etc. He also has a section on future treatments and the implications.

I must say, I'm really excited to see where the future of celiac disease goes. In ten years, its gone from being a grossly misunderstood and under diagnosed problem to being out there in the mainstream.

WOW!

2 Cups of my GF flour mix (http://panaluu.blogspot.com/2009/09/it-was-boys-birthday.html
2 tsp of baking powder
2 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of vanilla extract
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (I use enjoy life)

Mix butter, eggs, milk and vanilla in mixer on slow. Add sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and soda. When mixed through, add bananas and mix on high until throughly mixed. Slowly add flour and mix on high for two minutes. Add chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean. This loaf freezes really well and I usually double the recipe and throw one in the freezer to have on hand.
