Pure thoughts?

Wally,
When I got to work this morning I found that my boss has quinoa pasta in the pantry. Not sure who bought it or why, but there it was. Gluten free. Not sure if it has other forbidden ingredients, but you can look for it at your grocery if you are interested. She bought it at Whole Foods.

I love quinoa. My daughter uses it in place of rice. Seasoned shrimp, sauted red pepper and onions served over quinoa..yum

I heard whole foods has a print out you can get (in store) of all the gluten free stuff they have and where to find it in the store - That should make it easer

I think it does -
James can come live with me while you're not eating meat.

I love Trader Joes too- and it a bit easer for me to get to- whole foods is a hike.
I think what we're going to do is make big batches of things (veg chilly,
curry based stew thing etc.) and freeze the extra for another day - that should make it easer.

Anyone ever try Tempeh - what's it like?
Any Morning Star products your recommend?

Wow, I give you lots of credit. I could actually go with it for the most part since I love vegetables and can do without meat. I'm not into sweets so no sugar is ok. The problem that I have is that I travel a bit for work and sometimes the options in restaurants aren't the best. Also, I take care of my parents and Mom insists on feeding me sometimes ... she gets upset if I don't eat what she makes. Right now she can't understand why I don't eat the cookies and pastry that she pushes on me, somehow she doesn't get that no starches includes that stuff!

My mom is a bake-o-holic too - I'm going to need to lay down the law -
she'll get mad at me if she bakes me treats (she does every weekend) and I don't partake.
