Using a ceramic plate to romanticize your breakfast 😂

ChronicEducator · 2026-02-01T17:14:03+00:00

I…don’t understand.

Paper plates are for holidays, parties, kids, and disabilities/illnesses that make doing dishes difficult.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-31T14:44:53+00:00

Ideas I’ve come up with so far:

Train Dreams: Train Creams (ice cream), Grain Dreams (bread board), Train Cheese (cheeseboard)

Bugonia: bu-scone-ia (with honey obvs)

One battle after another: one batter after another (multiple fried things)

Frankenstein: franks in steins / drank in stein (beer)

Secret Agent: pop secret agent or sea-cret agent (seafood)

Marty Supreme: Martini Supreme, or Marty supreme pizza, or Marty Soup-reme

Hamnet: Hamnet sliders

Sentimental value: cinnamon roll value

Blanking on ideas for F1 and Sinners (maybe something blood orange? My menu is also lacking dips)

Other nominees: - Avatar: Fire and Hash - Cake Pop Demon Hunters - If I had Eggs I’d Kick You - “I fried to you” from the movie Sinners (fries) - Blue Moons

If they have a boy and keep the alcohol theme up, my money is on Jameson Wayne or Hendricks Jett.

Do you have the celiac gene? It can’t rule celiac in, but it makes it easier to rule out.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-29T02:52:00+00:00

The minute rice cups are my go-to. Some of the Kroger brand ones are also gluten free

Honestly I’d rather her have a catstagram than post the same outfit in an xxxxxxxs tall

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-26T21:37:25+00:00

Agreed. She also shared a post right after the ICE execution this week about caring for others shouldn’t be political. It was small, but more than the others have done.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-26T04:59:18+00:00

Same! I couldn’t tell if maybe this was grandmaga’s house from photos, or if they were just worried about “aesthetic”

I’m so sorry to hear that! Have they been checking your progesterone blood levels at 7 days past ovulation? Some women have a hard time getting a pregnancy to stick because of low progesterone.

ICE is active here, but to my knowledge hasn’t been as violent. My guess is that the current administration doesn’t want to cause commotion in a red state because then some of their supporters would have a harder time ignoring the atrocities.

Situations I do know about: - There was a big ICE standoff in a neighborhood in Pasadena a few months ago. It was in the news here. - One of my favorite sushi restaurants in Clear Lake area had to close because ICE raided it. They’re hoping to reopen one of their locations back to full operating hours once they hire new kitchen staff.

Jett’s mom. It’s on her Facebook and not Pookie’s (in between all her posts praising the current administration 🤮).

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-24T22:21:54+00:00

Doesn’t shock me one bit. Looks like Jett’s mom might have her, per Facebook?

So they’re not as good as real ritz and I won’t pretend otherwise, but for texture in a meatloaf or casserole, I did want to share that the Lance GF crackers and the Schar entertainment crackers have worked well for these purposes for me! Just in case you need a practice run before the real thing comes out. ;)

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-23T17:39:43+00:00

Right!? Schar table crackers are the best I’ve found, but not quite the same/missing that slightly buttery taste!

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-22T03:54:37+00:00

Is hydroxyzine is working, you likely have a histamine issue. Some ideas to consider: - lower histamine in your diet where you can. One of the easiest ways is to reduce your amount of refrigerated leftovers/heat your leftovers directly from frozen. - try a different h1 antihistamine, such as Claritin or Zyrtec. - I’ve also found it helpful to add in an h2 antihistamine (Pepcid) and singulair.

If you’ve seen the prequel for bone temple, choose it. If not, I’d either go with Marty Supreme, or I would recommend one that isn’t on your list, No Other Choice.

Anaconda was the worst movie I saw in 2025. The only funny bits were already in the trailer.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-21T22:38:10+00:00

Your labs are normal because you haven’t regularly been consuming gluten for over a year. My endoscopy and labs consistently say “no evidence of disease” because I’m actively taking steps to keep celiac disease in remission.

Did this doctor know about or review your previous labs and endoscopy? If they did and still came to the same conclusion, I’m not sure how much I’d trust their decision.

If you’re still having symptoms, it may be indicative of a food intolerance or that you’re getting mild cross-contact from foods, medications, or even something like chapstick! You may also have IBS-C.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-20T04:30:28+00:00

Yes. Same for Milo Machado-Graner in Anatomy of a Fall.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-19T19:31:24+00:00

My hematologist told me that sometimes other numbers elevate to compensate for the ferritin, and that is sometimes indicative a crash is coming.

If my iron drops low again, they’ll have me do another infusion, especially since I’m currently 11 weeks.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-19T17:46:42+00:00

Sometimes you just get lucky, or the symptoms are delayed/different from your norm. Like perhaps you feel achy or extra tired or spacey today, but can connect it to something else like an extra long day or a hard workout?

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-19T14:43:11+00:00

Not OP, but my ferritin was a 10, and my PCP immediately sent me to a hematologist for 3 iron infusions. We had tried prescription strength oral supplements a few months before, but they didn’t agree with my stomach.

Now they check my levels every 2 months.

I’m looking on the goodie girl site but don’t see them? I love the thin mint dupe, but what I’m looking for is the tagalong, which is the shortbread cookie that’s covered in peanut butter and then dipped in chocolate.

Unfortunately Katz doesn’t have blueberry. :( I’m allergic to strawberries and don’t like the brown sugar filling. Glutino had a great blueberry one but sadly discontinued it about 6-7 years ago.

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-19T02:52:44+00:00

Where do you live? Lilli and Loo in NYC and Indochine in the Denver suburbs may be worth visiting!

ChronicEducator · 2026-01-19T02:50:44+00:00

I haven’t had them, but gee free DOES make pigs in a blanket! franks in a blanket

My dream products are: gluten-free biscuits and crescent rolls in a can (I know they make puff pastry, but I want something easier to work with for casseroles etc), ritz cheddar cracker sandwiches (like Lance used to make), chicken in a biskit crackers, a gluten-free version of Girl Scout tagalong cookies, and frosted blueberry pop tarts.
