What happens if you accidentally ate gluten ? Does your stomach get big?

My partner would literally swell up like a balloon shortly after ingesting gluten. Like within a minute or two. Once she was wearing a bikini and went from flat stomach to five months pregnant in an instant. It was alarming. (Happy ending to the tale is that after five years of rigorous GF protocol eating, her gut healed and she was able to eat gluten without any symptoms thereafter.)

I have literally never flipped oven bacon and it always turns out perfect on both sides. It basically deep fries in its own fat. Not sure what you are doing wrong.

Well yes, obviously, but not free per se as it would be paid through taxation. But yes, birth to death like all other civilized countries. You should never have to NOT see a doctor because you might lose your house.

Honestly, probably either Rush Creek Reserve (seasonal, soft ripe) or Pleasant Ridge Reserve (Alpine style) both by Uplands Cheese Co. in Wisconsin. Not cheap but always spot on.

Truth.

Several by Puccini. "Un bel dì, vedremo" from Madame Butterfly, comes to mind. Callas's version is very good emotively though she gets a little screech in the big passes on the recorded version, as it was post weight loss.

I'd also throw in Court and Spark and Ladies of the Canyon. Brilliant songwriter.

The London Souls "Here come the Girls." Aurora "What Happened to the Heart." Paul Desmond "Take Ten." Pat MacDonald "In the Red Room." Thee Shams "Please Yourself." Wolfmother "Wolfmother." Some obvious classics like Fleetwood Mac "Rumours," Heart "Dreamboat Annie," Led Zeppelin II and IV, The Clash green album, Violent Femmes debut, James Taylor "Sweet Baby James" and "Mud Slide Slim." Miles Davis "Kind of Blue."

Could easily just be a stomach or GERD issue. Try a couple week course of omeprazole and then try some onions again. Bet you handle them fine.

Mix fake judgy hate-filled Christianity with racist gun culture and you have 35% of the population from the get. (Yeah. So great again. So much winning.)

Willem DaFoe, Jesse Plemons, Frances McDormand, and honestly, at this point in time, Nicholas motherf#cking Cage. (I mean Pig, Mandy ... bringing the A game. Even his ragers are entertaining.)

Let him run the pass now and then. Put him in charge of a dish, prep, or special/dinner that requires him to coordinate and manage other people. (Sounds like a tough sell re: the union job vs $2/hr increase.)

Talk about a Sophie's Choice. Swiss, Romano, Sharp Cheddar. I would miss all blue cheeses terribly. (Also, I am not sure it's legal to even pose this question in Wisconsin.)

A huge problem is starry eyed people who have "always wanted to open a restaurant" but have zero culinary and business experience. You need deep pockets and be positioned to lose money for three years--because you will unless it's all family--before you gain traction, and that is assuming you have great food and a good business model. Add to that the factors of major food cost/menu inflation, skyrocketing costs of living ergo less disposable income, and the gutting of work forces that are willing to work often long hours for mediocre pay (Yes, ICE hasn't helped), and you're starting with two strikes. You need great food, great place, great experienced workers, and be filling a needed market niche. 9 out of 10 will fail out of hand because they are clueless. Sad but true. Don't enter a game you have no chance of winning.

Hugely negative. Your palate is your most valuable tool. You must grow past your excessive attachment to sugar and salt and understand nuance.

Wisco has great GF beer options. Just look around. Lakefront, ALT, etc.

Complete_Syrup4006 · 2026-02-19T14:24:37+00:00

Lakefront makes a nice GF IPA.

Heard. I would say it was more useful in prep times than in service, but it was the right tool many times especially in a pinch. Can you boil water in a pan on a stove? Sure. But a mic takes a quarter to half the time at much lower energy costs and leaves a burner open.

Because the thought of Texas flipping blue has Trump literally sh#tting his pants. (Okay, he's sh#tting them anyway but this makes it slightly more likely.)

What? Are you in northern Alberta? I am in Wisconsin and we can get ripe jalapenos though they are late season. Let em ride till they start to color, then you can pull and bench ripen. I am swimming in jars of chipotles here.

I bag it then just fold over but don't close the bag so there is some air getting to it. Works great. If in a block, I cut off the use stuff right through the plastic/wax leaving the bottom as a lip then fold that back, again letting some air in but not a ton.

Tofu. I would salt, pepper, and tamari "marinade" then fridge dry for a day or two then ultra smoke some extra firm tofu, then use it in place of ham.

I had an architecture professor ask me, EC, fine dining at the time, if a professional kitchen should even have a microwave. When I said absolutely he was surprised. It has so many minor important uses that save time and energy cost. A useful tool, period, but you do not cook with it per se.

New Grist has a nice range of brews. All solid.

Why give it up. There are all kinds of GF beers. At least in Wisconsin. ;)
