Hey maureen! I’m posting this comment from my iPod Touch! I still can’t connect to my wireless network at home, but I managed to get on the free wireless net at the Chatterbox, where I’m enjoying a New Grist beer and the Irish singalong.

Hey Maureen,

I’m on cloud 9 because I just discovered I can eat cashew Lara Bars! This is the first packaged food that has an agreeable ingredient list. Yahooey!

I just bought my first iPod (ever!) on eBay, so I may get to listen to your podcasts soon.

I just saw the comment about Lipton Onion Soup Mix. I have made my own for years from a recipe out of a cook book called “Make-A-Mix”. Here’s the recipe, I don’t know if you have sources for MSG-free bouillon, but my bouillon is gluten-free. 4 teaspoons instant beef bouillon granules (or 4 cubes of beef bouillon, crushed, 8 teaspoons dried minced onion, 1 teaspoon onion powder (mine was MSG-free) 1/4 teaspoon Bon Appetit Seasoning (I never use this because I have never found it in the store) Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. Equals one pouch of dry onion soup mix. I usually make six or seven of these at a time and put them in zipper bags. I have never tasted a difference between this and the real stuff and if you buy the spices at a warehouse store you save $$$$!

Hey Maureen! Thanks for keeping up the great work! I love your podcast and am still listening. Thank you for inspiring me to try to bake gluten-free. I love to bake but have been scared to try to experiment because the gluten-free flours are so expensive and I don’t have a lot of time. But I felt brave this weekend and adapted a recipe from Martha Stewart for Dried Cherry Oatmeal cookies into gluten-free. (I know that some folks can’t eat oats, but they don’t bother me) My 14 year-old says, “I don’t like wheat-free food, it tastes funny.” and then promptly ate a dozen cookies. (He doesn’t like cherries either!)

Umm..do you have any children? Because I’m thinking you may have the exact same children’s song stuck in your head. “There’s a party in my tummy, so yummy, so yummy.”
Yeah. I babysit.

Hi! Your comment about missing Lipton’s onion soup mix reminded me of a recipe from the blog 101 Cookbooks that is the most delicious, mouth-watering all natural homemade version of that mix. It’s more labor-intensive obviously, but *totally* worth it:

(Do you read this blog? She has a “gluten free” category in her list of recipes side toolbar–really great site).

Thanks for the podcast! Hope this sates your onion mix craving. I like to eat it with the Glutino crackers that Whole Foods sells.

You had me on the floor…I read “There’s a Party in my Pants” instead of the correct title. I’m such a spaz. But, I did get Shauna’s book in paperback and breezed through it. Awesome read. And now, I subscribed to Gluten-Free Living because of you!
