And Vixmom can frequent her new-found LI diner, as she does not need to avoid gluten.

Continued condolences to John G. I'm glad you were able to play at Sharon's service. A nice touch.

On the hierarchy of pleasant surprises, i put a new great eatery up near the top.

Humm...that sounds like a lead-in to some funny lines. But I can't think of any.

Excellent photos, George!!!!

Would love to stay and play, but I really should get a few things done.

TTFN, kids.

George · « **Reply #101 on:** August 30, 2015, 02:45:36 PM »

Thanks, Jeanne and Fred!

And now, I must leave, too. I'm going to my parents' for dinner and visiting.

Be back later!

I don't actually avoid gluten, DR Jeanne, although it might be good for me!

But you might start with these brands:

Last day of the pool today.

The unfortunate thing is that the weather this coming week is supposed to be high 80s and sunny.

Back from a decent run-through - we were in a tiny rehearsal room and the fact that we HAD a run-through is amazing. Sami has been very good about implementing all my notes recently - after we finished, we discussed a few other notes and now she gets a day off (save for her short Kritzerland rehearsal) and we're back on Tuesday, thankfully in our theater.

I went to church with my daughter and then had lunch with my mother at the steak house where the Vixter was working .

vixmom · « **Reply #107 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:03:39 PM »

then I came home and puttered a bit then popped up to church to check on my plot at the community garden

vixmom · « **Reply #108 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:04:56 PM »

the cherry tomato plants went crazy this week - I ended up harvesting about 6 lbs of cherry tomatoes

vixmom · « **Reply #109 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:07:46 PM »

So I went back to my mom's because my folks love cherry tomatoes and washed and sorted them there - the neighbor friend who is always helping my Mom was just leaving so he took a big bag of tomatoes, and the health aide took a bunch, and I took some and left the rest there and then just as I was leaving my brother showed up so I went back in an we all visited for another hour or so

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:08:18 PM »

then I did a little grocery shopping

vixmom · « **Reply #111 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:09:19 PM »

I forgot to mention yesterday that I've been experimenting with gluten-free pasta. I used to LOVE pasta, but had to minimize it when I found that gluten was causing some problems. I recently tried a gluten-free fettuccine. Ugh. Really heavy. Then the gluten-free spaghetti. Not as heavy, but definitely chewy. I bought something online that I'd never even heard of, but it looks rather slimy in the package. Trader Joe's has one with BK's beloved quinoa in it. Haven't tried that one yet.

If those DRs who avoid gluten--Singdaw, Druxy, Dan M--or our resident foodie, John G, have any experiences with gluten-free pasta or suggestions, then I'm all ears.

I have not heard of any that people actually like. It's like low-carb pasta. A good version ain't been introduced yet. At least not that I know of.

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:10:04 PM »

then after I hada nice chat with my MIL and we rang off Vixdad called and we had a nice talk

vixmom · « **Reply #114 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:10:58 PM »

I also had 4 nice peppers in my garden plot so right now I have some stuffed peppers cooking

John G. · « **Reply #115 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:11:20 PM »

Fun photos, George.

John G. · « **Reply #116 on:** August 30, 2015, 07:13:53 PM »

Had Persian food tonight. My friend and co-writer Bonnie was in town with her husband. It was a fun evening.

We had way too much, including garlic chicken, beef kebabs and an amazing dish that's got rice, chicken and yogurt all cooked together and served with dried burberries on top.

You know, my eyes totally expected that to say "check on my plot at the cemetery"..... !!!

Jeanne, I just came across this recipe for gluten-free pasta, which Lidia Bastianich gave me in response to a reader's question. Don't know if you would ever make this, but I thought I'd share it:
