The bread pudding was well received, though they may have liked the whiskey sauce better. And who wouldn't?

It's part of my no-carb, Atkins-style, diabetic diet, you know.

DR Cillaliz - sorry that you and your family are going through such a difficult time. Continued thoughts your way!

thanks. Bob died this morning. I don't know what they are doing as far as a service. My brother said he'd let me know. He said they had come to terms with everything over the past few days. My guess is they are talking to family and trying to get some rest.

Prayers and condolences to you and your entire family.

DR TCB, how are you doing?

Just watched a pair of Hammer Noirs, Stolen Face and Blackout. Both excellent for what they are, low-budget crime dramas.

The plot of Stolen Face was fairly twisted: Plastic surgeon Paul Henreid falls in love with Lizbeth Scott, but she rejects him. So, he grafts her face onto a criminal with a disfigured face and marries her. Then Lizbeth shows up and his life becomes hellish. If they had written it today, the two lookalike women would go off into the sunset together.

I haven't gone gluten free or wheat free, but I have cut down on it. I now make my sandwiches out of gluten free bread, and have to say that I do not miss regular bread at all...and, in fact, I prefer the Franz brand of gluten free bread. I don't prefer the price, however.

I am not sure yet if I detect any difference in the way that I feel, but I didn't make the change for any other reason than always hearing about how bad wheat is for you.

I have noticed that the night after I had pancakes for breakfast I slept very badly. And the night after I had some other wheat food I slept very badly. Not enough information yet to know if there is a connection or just coincidence. Personally, I am hoping it is just coincidence, as I didn't really have any plans of totally staying away from wheat...just cutting down.

Speaking of wheat...I had a very nice time at the Sikh gurdwara today. The owner of Taj Mahal had invited the board members of our India/US group to attend today as he was supplying the food (they serve food 24/7 at Sikh temples). I ate some Indian bread there, which is where the wheat comes into play.

And this evening I attended the party that Khadija, our Saudia Arabian tenant put on for us. Her eldest brother was there also, as he had travelled from Saudi Arabia to attend her graduation. His name is Latif, and I nicer man could not be found, and he has a great sense of humor. It was great fun to chat with him.

Khadija will be staying on in Salem until July then will return to Saudi Arabia where she plans to get a job in the financial sector, in the field of research...finances she finds too boring.

The food was fantastic...chicken, lamb, yogurt, salad, and baklava for dessert.

Here is a photo of myself, her brother Latif, and Khadija.

Mike, why don't you bake your own gluten-free bread. It would reduce the cost.

Very nice photo DR MBARNUM....thanks for sharing.

DR GINNY that sounds like a lot of fun.....I always love it when my brothers and sisters come to stay.....but I never get them for any length of time.

Of course I would just as soon they didn't bring their guitars and amplifiers......

Jrand74 · « **Reply #136 on:** June 01, 2014, 09:27:14 PM »

Thanks DR ELMORE and DR JOHN G.....things seem to have calmed down....and I am not sure exactly how MUCH of the conversation he heard, and I'm not eager to discover the details.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #137 on:** June 01, 2014, 09:27:51 PM »

LA KINGS beat the Chicago Blackhawks and will face NY Rangers for the Stanley Cup.....

Although I'm sure it's different for everyone, there are two articles you can easily find on Google (or look at Jane's Facebook page, where I posted both of them), both of which basically say there is absolutely not a shred of proof that a gluten-free diet is either good for people or isn't anything but a placebo in terms of people feeling better. They say that people who suffer from certain things should be gluten-free, but as a popular diet fad, it's basically what all these things are and it will remain until the next thing happens.

I'm going to make some dreadfully decadent later today: Donut bread pudding with a whiskey sauce.

Someone brought donuts into work on Friday and, well, they were going to be tossed. I figured this was a better solution.

Quote from: MBarnum on June 01, 2014, 10:24:51 AM

Re-purposing donuts seems like an award winning idea, DR JohnG!

When my sister made apple fritter bread pudding not too long ago, it was absolutely delish...even without a whiskey sauce.

Thanks, Jeanne. It was neither a worrysome nor sweat-inducing drive.
