I call my wife Rise` (pronounced "REE-suh") "Tinyness" because I'm a big guy, and she's so tiny next to me. When I take her clothes out of the dryer, I can't believe how tiny her shirts are, as I'm hanging them up!
For years now I've had Celiac Disease -- I can't digest the gluten molecule, because a genetic change inherited from my parents -- probably, from my Irish father -- means that I lack the enzyme to digest it. Gluten sits in my bowels undigested until it -- and my bowels -- rot!
So, Rise` learned how to make me gluten free bread and other gluten-free concoctions.
On Marty Moss-Coane's pre-Thanksgiving show today, she was discussing Thanksgiving recipes. When the program turned to cooking for Celiac cases, Rise` e-mailed in that she made turkey stuffing edible for me, again, by substituting kasha for bread. Marty Moss-Coane read Rise`'s e-mail aloud on the show. "That sounds really good!" the guest commented.
This year, Rise` also did this for Thanksgiving ...
That's a Reese's chocolate peanut butter cup cheese cake on gluten-free crust.
I told Rise` that we have to have a supply of insulin ready inside, and an ambulance waiting outside, before anyone gets to eat any of it.
