The "Nice Happy" Thread


Hermit

Recommended Posts

I have been back in Plymouth nearly three weeks now. I'm due partial rebates on my council tax and water rates.

I have all the clothes now back at home and the majority have been laundered.

The gaming stuff is partly back;

a lot of the Champions folders but few superhero books;

almost all the Cthulhu books;

a lot of D+D stuff;

and some miscellaneous stuff.

The alcohol is almost all back, the food is all back and a great deal of my CDs and DVDs are back.

 

We don't go to the storage place on Tuesday as that is when mother goes shopping and in between going to two specific shops, there is lunch. At Devil's Point eating Bacon and egg (and maybe mushrooms), drinking coffee with maybe an ice cream for afters. Watching the ships come and go. Two weeks ago a destroyer and today HMS Ocean as it navigates the deep water channel. Simple and wonderful provided you time it right.

My eldest (not quite 8) started having head aches. Most were small and short, but then he had one that incapacitated him for several hours. My wife checked his medications. Turns out that the prescription antacid has "headaches, possibly severe" as a potential side effect. He needed to come off of that, pronto. However, he was on that because he had stomachaches daily (and threw up regularly with them). My wife had been reading about why that might be and we were discussing going gluten free to see if that helped. After this headache, we decided to just go for it.

 

We stopped the antacid and went gluten free the next meal. That was two weeks ago. Not a single headache since. One stomachache (but he ate three gluten-free blueberry muffins for breakfast that morning and the pain was different than the other ones). His appetite has improved, and he feels better.

 

And there's a new dented can store about 15 miles away that carries a large selection of almost-expired-and-just-past-date gluten free products for ~75% off the retail price.

What is a gluten free muffin made of?

Sorghum flour, millet flour, and xanthum gum. The taste is fine, but the texture is a little off. If I understand it correctly, the flours are needed for the structure while the gum is needed to hold it all together. We're trying cornbread with it next week. I have trepidation because good cornbread is a holy endeavor where I come from.
