If you ever decide to put together a cookbook of your favorite gluten free recipes that you've created, I'd totally buy it. Your spaghetti sounds amazing, and the biscuits look delicious, among the many other things I've seen in your blog. I'm having to go gluten free due to an intolerance so I need a little inspiration.
Wow, thank you, Lisa! I’ll have to turn that over in my head. Sorry to hear about the intolerance, but figuring that out can make you feel so much better. Is it just gluten, or is it low FODMAP?
So far it looks like I'm tolerating FODMAP. Gluten seems to be the main culprit. I feel dramatically better within a couple of days after I stop eating it. I've had all the big tests inside and out and have never gotten any specific answers. But the first thing I notice when I stop eating gluten is that my legs stop hurting and I'm no longer walking like a penguin. Then the stomach/abdominal pain goes away. It's sad, but I'm so delighted to feel better. Although a life without Placido's Pasta Shop does sound a little lonely.
Your recipes all look great, no matter what or what isn't in them. I like that you have the ability to put stuff together without having to follow a recipe. I wish I knew how to do that, but I've never been enough of an interested cook to learn how. But I'd read a cookbook from someone who does know how!
That would work too! Honestly, though, I'm not hoping you'll do more work, I know you have a lot going on. Just if you had ever considered something like that, I'd be first in line. ;-)
Regarding the flies, we had an issue with this over the summer, but couldn't figure it out as we had the AC on, etc. Anyway, killed them, and then within a few days, Geoff determined that one of our mousetraps (which I had stopped checking after the tuckpointing "fixed" the issue) had a mouse that had decayed. How we didn't smell it I can't figure out. The trap is one that hides the critter (tube-type) so no gross visual of the dead thing. But we both were like "oh, that's the flies then." And I know you've had mice problems as well.

It's crazy, isn't it? I have to remind myself that it's LOW fodmap, not NO fodmap....just finding that balance.

What about a newsletter, or a separate page of this newsletter?
