Chit Chat / Re: What is for Lunch Today

Oh no, Amy! So sorry you have to wait until mid January. I don't think I could last that long with this though...I think the whole tooth has split and it's moving around. (And I know it's going to hurt the budget too! Ow!)
Thanks Obbie - I'll hope it will be ok but I'll see how it feels in the morning.

I was eating a yummy pizza (a special treat for me because we're GF/DF at our house!) for a late lunch and broke a molar...can't get in to see my dentist until midday on Monday - it's now 3.55pm on Friday! The receptionist gave me an emergency number in case it gets worse over the weekend...it's not wonderful now. And I couldn't eat the rest of my pizza 'cos it's so uncomfortable...excuse me while I have a little pity party! :(

Thanks VieveMS - that's reassuring. It's odd that I can still see the envelope on the left of my post but you can't. Does that mean then that everyone will see an envelope on their own posts but others can't? I can't see an envelope on yours or Judy's posts.

I am confused...I've ticked the box expecting the envelope to disappear and it hasn't. On this page I can see Gert doesn't have the envelope but Caatjeh does. I've followed the instructions including entering my password and logged in and out...still no change. Help!

Main Dishes / chicken and chickpea patties
« on: December 12, 2012, 11:15:40 pm »

My first TM adaption:

Chicken and chickpea patties

1/2kg chicken mince
Tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 small onion, quartered
1 garlic clove
1 tsp salt
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp grated ginger (or ground)
1 tsp chilli powder,
1 tsp cumin
Chopped coriander

On speed 4, chop onion, carrot, ginger and garlic in TM for 3-4 seconds, scrape down and chop again.
Add chickpeas and mix until blended.
Add all other ingredients and blend to a paste – about 20-25 seconds on speed 4 or 5.
Shape into patties and either bake in oven for 25 minutes or pan fry with a little coconut oil.
Makes about 15 patties, depending on size.
Note: they can be a little dry so serve with mango chutney or sweet chilli sauce.
(Great served with high protein salad.)

Adapted from Collette White’s ‘Cut out the Crap.’ (Love that title!)

Salads / Re: High Protein Salad

This is REALLY good! If you love CADA, you will love this too. I made this last night and served finely chopped onion seperately (because my DH doesn't like raw onion) and it's delicious both ways. Thanks for posting this as it is destined to become the go to salad at my place this summer.

Helene - the 'Gluten Free Wheat Free Cooking' book (available on the Australian website) has a Foreword written by Bianca Mazur. Maybe that's the one she is talking about in the article?

Chit Chat / Re: Thoughts/opinions on coconut oil please
« on: October 24, 2012, 06:31:18 am »
Hi Dj,
I've used mostly coconut oil in my cooking for the past two years for health reasons - I believe it is one of the few oils (along with rice bran oil) which will not convert to trans fatty acids with heat. I will only use olive oil raw in salads etc but never heated. You only need to use a small amount (less than a dessertspoon) of coconut oil  if you are dry roasting veggies and it works fine in cakes etc.

I LOVE these! Made them last night and they went down really well with my family. And GF/CF too - yay!
I expected to roll them in my hands but found it easier to spoon dollops into frypan (I used rice bran oil.)
Beautiful texture, and so easy with Timmy.
I'm thinking this recipe is a keeper! Thanks Chookie!

Chit Chat / Re: Gert has HEART ATTACK! WARNING!
« on: September 30, 2012, 03:44:55 am »
Hi Gert, from a newbie...
I've been lurking on this forum for a few months and your thread has spurred me to come out and intro myself.
You said you've had more than one of these... I had something similar a few years ago and I'm not saying you have this but it might be worth checking out. I would experience sharp chest pain and it could come on while lying in bed or walking. Given my family history of heart issues, my GP referred me to a heart specialist who tested and found nothing wrong. ( ??? Really? So why was I having chest pains?!) Finally it was my Naturopath who told me I had an infection of the pericardium - the sheath around my heart...hence pericarditis. He added that my doctor could have prescribed an antibiotic for a bacterial infection to knock it out. (It may also be cause by a viral or fungal infection.) I stuck with my Naturopath and all was well.
Hope you find an anwer and/or it doesn't recur!
Cheers,
Jen

Introduce Yourself / Hello from another Melbournite
« on: September 30, 2012, 03:24:31 am »
Hello all.
I’ve been lurking on this board for several months now and it’s time I came out! We’re on a Gluten Free/Dairy Free diet here, so getting Timmy and checking out this forum have both made a HUGE difference to our food boredom level! (I can’t tell you how frustrating it has been not to be able to use cheese for a flavour hit – so many recipes use cheese in the non GF/DF recipe books I have!) A current family favourite is TM Impossible Lemon Pie – GF/DF of course. Yum! And we love the EDC Beef Rendang (with a bit of tweaking here and there.)
You’ve all been so generous with your recipes, tips and sense of fun – so a really big Thank You!
