That sounds cool, what kind of gluten-free cookies do they have? The only ones I can usually find that aren't super expensive are the gluten-free Oreos.

>>938
Well I went to the store yesterday and the light isn't as bright as you'd imagine
Only a very select kind of cookies are less expensive, the rest range from slightly more expensive to three times more expensive.
The cheap ones were some biscuits that come in many flavours, the more expensive ones are the ones with filler in them, but they come in many different shapes and forms. Some with chips, some are pretzels, some are salty. It's quite varied all things considered.
Surprisingly so, when I asked the owner of the store about things without gluten, she went fairly in detail about it. Apparently Celiac's disease is real brutal, but thankfully right now it's all an intolerance. Not as bad as shampoo giving me skin rashes, but only time will tell.
On another note, I think I developed an intolerance for bananas now? I am not too sure who should I go to so that I can check my intolerances, but all of this just comes out of nowhere and it's kinda blindsiding me.

>>935
I can eat gluten just fine, but my sister has celiac disease (gluten intolerance). Having it sucks, but it's not the hardest intolerance to work around.
>I might have high blood sugar
Gluten is the protein I thought. Shouldn't impact your blood sugar more or less than gluten free breads.

Assuming you want to avoid gluten rather than sugars or carbs, there's hope: Not eating gluten became super popular with the "alternative nutrition" crowd a few years back, and hipsters and hippies alike decided to buy it, which is amazing - because as a result there's a large variety of gluten free products.
For normal nutrition, avoiding carbs that have wheat or gluten and instead using carbs that naturally don't have any (rice and potatoes) are great. Some gluten free pasta is fine as well, though that will depend on brands. I'd recommend you buy the ones your local store has and try those first, especially the cheap ones.
Sadly, the way my sister describes it is gluten free baked goods are usually where the quality suffers (or they are super expensive). She got herself a bread machine and a pasta machine and makes both herself. Her breads don't taste as good as a homemade sourdough, but better than the usual supermarket bread, and it's economical as well. So I'd recommend getting those. Bread machines second hand are super cheap, they seem to be in the category of "a lot of people buy them, don't use them, and they take up too much space to just stand around", which drives second hand prices down. Just remember to give them a good wash, both because of gluten and because of general nasty surprises you may find. Also be aware that there's a lot of "hidden" gluten especially in sauces like cheaper (and worse) soy sauces. Your mileage may vary and it depends on your health situation, but for her she says anything that states "contains traces of gluten", she doesn't eat and anything that says "may contain traces of gluten" she does.
Good luck sushi.

>Apparently Celiac's disease is real brutal,
It really depends on the person, but if you have celiac's disease and keep eating gluten, it tends to get worse and worse until it can get really bad. So if you just have a intolerance, probably Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Hmmm I've never looked much at biscuit cookies. Good luck on getting something like intolerances checked; I was seeing a doctor for something like a year for chronic abdominal pain before they finally suggested maybe my issues could be a food intolerance, and even then it was more of a "try cutting out foods and see if you feel better" than any kind of formal test.

>>940

Even the regular Kikkoman is brewed with wheat. Oddly enough the cheaper La Choy is not.

I feel everyone's pain. I am really intolerant of milk and it is incredible how much milk is in our foods, as a sweetener especially.

Just made split pea soup in an instantpot. By far the smoothest soup I have ever had. Absolutely crazy.

>>915
Nice! Split Pea soup is the bomb, definitely one of the best soups for me.

Had some french/german "Flammkuchen" - think of it as a simpler and easier to make pizza. Was great.

If you want to make it yourself it's super easy:
150g AP flour, 65ml water, 30g neutral oil, around half a tsp of salt.
Mix until it comes together, add a little water (but not much) if you need. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Roll out as thin as you can, doesn't have to be round.
Add creme fraiche or any other dairy based cream with 20%+ fat (otherwise it'll seperate), salt, pepper, bacon cubes, onions and optionally leeks.
Heat oven to around 250C (480F), preheat the oven sheet in there as well. Add the Flammkuchen and in around 5-10 minutes it'll be done. Just wait until it is slightly charred and throwing bubbles, but not burned.

>>914
the bread is really pretty :D

>>942
Thanks, tasted good as well. It's a great dish for the summer.

The most of my favorite dessert, another one is wagashi
Exclude bitter. That kind of chocolate is the only exception type
When I have dark chocolate I always cut my tongue

Most sweets make my tummy ache insanely quickly.
Same goes for salty snacks.
But if i just pour salt or sugar on some cookies, it's not as bad.
Kinda strange but it is what it is.

>>930
Not cookies as sugary, those cookies that have no taste whatsoever, and rice cookies

>>930
I find some info, but you indicated sugar will make you feel better
It seens to be another reason or multiple causes

>Someone who is lactose intolerant will have trouble digesting lactose, which is the sugar found in milk. This intolerance causes one or more of the digestive issues noted.
That is interesting, I am lactose intolerant after all, so this may play something.
But also the sugar that I used is a "light" one, so this is also another thing to take into account

My wife is preparing a Swiss roll this year. I've been asking her to make Stollen for the past few years, welp, maybe next year. She did look up the recipy this year, though, we're getting close.
I love her baking anyway, no matter what she prepares.

My mom and I always bake lots of cookies
My favorites are cinnamon stars and marzipan hearts!

>>924
Mmmmmmm marzipan. So underrated

If you have ever been to a convention or concert or other big event, and seen those street vendors out front with the grill carts grilling hot dogs, buy one. They are the absolute best and I always get one when I have the chance, even though they are usually a bit overpriced.

Here in California they are always wrapped in a strip of bacon, and usually the vendor will add ketchup, mustard, mayo, grilled onions, and a piece of jalapeno if you ask for it. It may just be a California thing, I'm not sure. They taste amazing fresh off the cart and usually cost $6 or $7. If it's a big event, the venue will be swarming with grill carts.

That pepper is called a "sport". A proper Chicago style is poppy seed bun, all beef dog like a Vienna, celery salt, diced onion, atomic green relish, mustard, thin tomato wedges, sport peppers.

crispy fried onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard are all I need

>>918
Thanks for educating the people.

Everyone knows Chicago for the hot dogs and deep dish, but my favorite classic Chicagoan food is Italian beef, and I never hear out of towners talk about it.

Never order an “Italian beef” anywhere in the Midwest but Chicago. They do not know what it is and will try to kill you with whatever wretched sandwich they assume an Italian beef is.

>>920
Hot, sweet and make her dripping. The underrated speciality.

I used to make rajma masala but now I mostly order food (living situation makes cooking hard for me). My favourites are samosa chaat, dal makhani, and chicken vindaloo.

I've never had Japanese-style curry but I would love to try it. There is about one Indian restaurant every block downtown here, but only like one or two Japanese places.

I made kare raisu for the first time yesterday and it turned out very poggers!! ^__^

I used this recipe.

What kind should I make next, sushis? I am going to use chicken this time.

curry+rice is peak everyday-food; easy to make, utilitarian, and infinite flavor variation. Here is a great compendium on indian curry.

I make Rajma Marsala as well as curries with tofu, chickpeas, and lentils. I've also made Japanese curry two times now. The first time was with a beef substitute, which was okay. I didn't particularly like it. The second time was with fried tofu. That was also okay, but it took way too much effort. I also changed up the recipe from the standard box curry to one that included ginger, garlic, and a very ripe banana, smashed in there. Next one's gonna be tofu again, but I'm going to crush all the water and crumble it in. I really like the potatoes, but not much crowding the curry. From what I see in other people's images, that's the right way to do it. I still think I'd like it a lot more with the crumbled tofu. Then, I'll probably add a grated apple, chocolate, or something else. Probably not at once, of course. I'm also seeing how well it freezes. I'm going to unfreeze my Japanese curry and see how it lasted.

I still prefer regular, Indian curry more. Japanese curry seems to be a pale comparison of Indian curry. Like, you can tell it's curry, but there's something off about it. I usually do potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms to my curry, by the way. It'll be fun to experiment more with different vegetables, too. Japanese curry might not be like Indian curry, but it's charming with its variety.

Thanks sushis

I like noodle. What is your favourite noodle?
Have you ever made noodle yourself from flour?

These are my picks for the Top 4 noodles I can acquire where I live and devour with glee.

>>906
I used to eat the Ippei-chan "night shop yakisoba" noodle bowls a lot. Comes with mayonnaise to put on top of it after cooking.

>>454
:)

Me too

>>909
What is this sacrilege?

>>909
God is dead and we killed him

Had some sushi today

At this point you already made the pie and ate it but I'll give you a bump.

>>894
Haven't you already listed almost every ingredient for a decent apple pie? The only thing I would suggest are a bit of vanilla and salt for the cake batter.
