Frozzie and Robyn, I've noted your comments re. the Zumbo book and will pop in to see the people at Books for Cooks.  The site has just been launched so I am hoping this is just a 'teething' problem.  I'll let you know the outcome.

I'm just starting on a dairy free diet so can't help much, but once again, can I suggest checking out Quirky Jo's blog for lots of ideas.  Also see if you can get you hands on the Rainbow Recipes cook book from Aileen Sforcina as there are lots of ideas in there for you to try.

DD, take care and look after yourself.  It's not always easy to go slow, but try to take things more slowly for a while and it will all help with the healing.

Chit Chat / Re: In the U.S. it's National Deviled Eggs Day.

I never realised there were so many "special days / weeks" and "special holidays", Andie.  Glad to see National Hug Week is hidden away somewhere during my birth month, June!  I'd love to know who made all of this up - and compiling the list must have taken ages. 

I haven't had devilled eggs for so long; they remind me of our parties back in the '70s when they were always a mainstay on the table for eating during the course of the evening - along with grapefruits sliced in half with toothpicks sticking out all over with cheese and pineapple threaded on to them.

Just a quick thought - when you make the rice to go with the cashew tofu meal, mix the brown rice 50 / 50 with quinoa, that works really well.

It looks like you are already up and running with the food combining so things will go well, you just have to get used to going back and cooking some different foods again.  Good luck and let us know how you go.

This sounds (and looks) totally mouth watering.  Thanks for posting the recipe, Rosemary.

I tried that, Frozzie - I ended up with laryngytis!

Welcome to the forum, Court.  What a garden - I'm very jealous

I have just received a newsletter from one of the most dangerous shops in our neighbourhood - Books for Cooks.  They are a superb specialist book shop which I am usually too scared to enter, in case I never get out again!

They have just launched their ebook store - probably nothing TMX related at this stage, but perhaps that will come.  You can find them here - and don't blame me if you never surface from your visit.

Like Jenny, I can't speak highly enough of Quirky Jo's recipes.  One that is my absolute favourite is her satay cashew chicken recipe, only I substitute firm tofu for the chicken (you will be familiar with this recipe, it is referred to in at least one posting each week).  It is great.  There are more and more vegetarians joining this forum now so one way or another I am sure we can keep your daughter going with loads of good, nutritious recipes

On looking closer, I see that you are right - it's not compact at all!  Great size.

Your kitchen looks great, Shayla, very compact but work(wo)man like.  Love your curtains, too.  Being on the edge of a golf course must have some benefits - hope you are a player????

Sounds like your daughter has stabilised, Uni, I can almost feel your relief at that.  At least now she (and you) know what to be aware of so she can now go on from here and self monitor and keep fit and healthy with supplements.

Caroline, don't be put off by all of this - it's simply a case of being sure to get food combinations right and to use supplments if necessary.  Remember, too many supplements can be just as bad as not enough - it's simply common sense.  And remember, there are millions and millions of vegetarians around the world and they are all fit and well.

When we went away in the middle of the year this year, DH got together with his sisters for the first time in 11 years, for me, I got back to my cousins and aunt for the first time in approx. 20 years.  It's so hard when you are so far away and, although they say the worlds is a smaller place now with air travel, etc., it's not always easy to get away - travelling to the other side of the globe takes time and money which we don't all necessarily have.

At least phones, skype and email are faster and cheaper now than ever before.
