Celiac by Marriage: August 2010
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Cracking the German (chocolate) code. Back to the book,. Betty Crocker's Ultimate Cake Mix Cook Book. The premise is that it's possible to make a cake mix (good heavens) into a dessert that appears to require actual skill. Having it on my shelves is almost as humiliating as setting out a coffee table book of pornography. But you cannot beat the German Chocolate Bars. Naturally, JFG loves them. B...

Celiac by Marriage: Guilt, capitulation and a weekend with wheat
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010/11/guilt-capitulation-and-weekend-with.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Guilt, capitulation and a weekend with wheat. I visited my parents in Arizona again this weekend, this time without JFG. It was an interesting opportunity to experience non-celiacs eating wheat without guilt, and if I learned anything it was that my fright or flight response to wheat products has become instinctual and reflexive. Stopped people from using one knife on all breads. I. 1 It's not a...

Celiac by Marriage: It's the end
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-end.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. The end of the bread, that is. So I was glad to hear that a local company was taking a stab at the quandary of crusty gluten-free bread. The company's still nameless, but Lacy Gillham and Jan Taborsky gave JFG a loaf to try. I would love to tell you what the bread is called and where to get it. I can't - although from their promotional materials it looks like we can expect to see them at Sale...

Celiac by Marriage: January 2010
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Starbucks (sort of) redeems itself. I spend a lot of time at Starbucks. When I have to wait in line, I ogle the display cases with coffee cakes, bagels, scones and pastries, all beautiful and glowing. And, of course, full of gluten. And then it was gone. Poof. Experiment over and apparently failed. The other day, however, I went into Starbucks and was standing in line for my coffee (I firmly believe...

Celiac by Marriage: Fear not the albino asparagus
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010/11/fear-not-albino-asparagus.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Fear not the albino asparagus. Ten years ago, a supervisor took me to the Havana Cafe. In Phoenix, AZ where I ordered a salad containing white asparagus. I'd never really thought about colorless vegetables before, but the asparagus reminded me of the children's book series Bunnicula. Which ranges from salads to paella. I must warn you - despite its attempt to define itself as "Phoenix's premier des...

Celiac by Marriage: Hiatus
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010/12/hiatus.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Sunday, December 12, 2010. Due to a recent move to St Andrews, Scotland, I am putting this blog on a short hiatus to concentrate for a while on a new blog,. From Salem to St Andrews. While it won't be as well-written as the other American transplant blog,. From Fergie to Fife. Folks at home have requested a record of our highland misadventures. You are too sweet, Miss Kurstin! I hope youre settling in ok! Life on the Lam.

Celiac by Marriage: April 2010
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Monday, April 26, 2010. 1,000-year-old Chinese chef breaks the gluten-free world open wide. Lots of Chinese jade souvenirs, plastic swords, faded red- and gold- lacquered. Tables, servers in cheap tuxes, etc. But we were desperate for vegetables and rice, and had developed a deep suspicion of past go- tos. We pulled out the iPhones. App, and found one option, Kwans. Himself answered. When JFG. When we arrived, Kwan. Disease ...

Celiac by Marriage: September 2010
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Sunday, September 26, 2010. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard. Bread fascinates me. Not only did the ability to produce bread play a role in separating successful from unsucessful cultures (see Jared Diamond's. Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. I basically followed the "oven method" instructions on the back of the box, using milk and vegetable oil. But I added about about a tablespoon and a ...

Celiac by Marriage: July 2010
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. We interrupt this famine to bring you intestinal peace. As some of you know, I'm a world war II history buff. However, until I read one of Bette Hagman's books, I had no idea how centrally WWII - and the post-war European food crises - figured into the diagnosis of celiac disease. As paraphrased on http:/ www.celiac.com/. Monday, July 12, 2010. Ten things to be happy about. In Bend, OR), PF Chang's.

Celiac by Marriage: May 2010
http://celiacbymarriage.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
My attempt to understand my role in helping my husband deal with celiac disease. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. A gluten-free Camelot - still a fantasy. In an earlier post I lauded King Arthur Flour for finally introducing gluten-free products. My enthusiasm has been slightly dampened with the arrival of the first catalog highlighting their new product line. Let me tell you why. Just like adding garter belts as complicated as suspension bridges to already undressed people makes them sexier. In terms of standard ...
