Posted: 3/19/08 at 2:34pmThe kid I was I talking about is not autistic. And his sister "lactose intolerant." So no dairy products are allowed near them either. We think the mother has "Munchausen's by proxy."

Posted: 3/19/08 at 2:52pmAs for the lactose intolerant who don't eat cheese--most cheeses (unless the cheese is soft like chevre) have no lactose--the bacteria that create the cheese eat the lactose.

I know. We had the kid for an afternoon once and gave her some cheese by mistake. She was fine. And she LOVED it.

Posted: 3/19/08 at 3:02pmD2, Munchausen Syndrome is how my family has diagnosed what's going on with my brother, that wife and their little spawn.

"Jane, are they weren't just dirty hippies?"
Haha, yeah, same thing!

Yeah, they're saying that their child has a rare form of autism that is caused by that allergy to gluten, or something
Ask them what that form is called. Then google it. It can't be Aspergers because that isn't a "rare form."

I'm lacto too, cheese and yogurt are 100% lacto friendly. Which is wonderful.
To bad ice cream isn't...

I have a friend who won't eat cheese of any kind except on pizza when he has to. Whenever I had dinners at my place I would always have to cook his portion seperately. At times it was a bit of a pain. He doesn't like to see it and hates the smell.
I have this thing about raw tomato. I won't eat raw tomato. I love sauces and ketchup but if I order a salad without tomato and they put some on accidently while making it and then take them off before serving it, I KNOW tomato has been on that salad. I don't want the juice or seeds anywhere near my salad. And anything with tomato on it, I will not order or ask for it to be made without. Sometimes I can't have a dish I want because they can't do it without tomato. And it is the same with mushrooms for me.

Posted: 3/20/08 at 10:00amAh, uncageg! Tomatoes and shrooms are two superfoods! That makes me sad...

uncageg-
I totally get the tomato thing...I've gotten better, I can do it if it's diced and in small portions.
#38re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy
Posted: 3/20/08 at 11:17amlildogs-I didn't know mushrooms were a superfood (other than the recreational type, lol). I always thought they had almost no nutritional value-please inform me!
#39re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy
Posted: 3/20/08 at 11:21amJane, it depends on the type of mushroom. Those dry little white things you see at the Sizzler buffet don't have much nutritional value. But others have a lot of nutrients. Portabellas have more potassium than bananas, for example.

Jane2-
And the ones found in that Kombucha drink (Kombucha may be the actual name for said mushroom), are really healthy.

Posted: 3/20/08 at 11:46amungageg, I can't eat tomatoes either. I love sauces and V8. It's a texture thing. Shrooms I love though.
#44re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy
Posted: 3/20/08 at 4:19pmYeah Jane--they're quite healthful--especially the wilder kinds like portabella (also known as crimini), SH*Take, hen of the woods, Hedgehog--anything that's dark--color is usually a indicator of healthfulness--there's wisdom in the saying "The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice."
#45re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy
Posted: 3/20/08 at 4:30pmI cook with portabellas and ****akes and on occasion porcinis-the latter make a very delectable and RICH pasta sauce!
#46re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy

Porcini are wonderful--the dried ones are actually quite useful as well and less expensive--I have a great recipe using them if u want it....
Chanterelles are also quite good...and pricey.
I've found that the more mushrooms you use, the more complex your sauce will be.
#47re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy
Posted: 3/20/08 at 5:01pmWhat's the recipe for?
#48re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy
Posted: 3/20/08 at 5:08pmI have a great gorgonzola/shiitake risotto recipe, too -- if you don't mind the pain in the ass (or arm) associated with making risotto.
#49re: Meat eaters smell bad and have low energy
Posted: 3/20/08 at 5:09pmLol, I DO mind it, hon.

It's a porcini broth--sounds boring--but it is not
Soak dried porcinis in some water--enough to cover, maybe 1 1/2 cups.
After they re-constitute, simmer them gentle for about 30 minutes or until the cooking liquid doesn't seem to get any darker.
Drain the water off the mushrooms and return it to the heat. You can use the mushrooms in another dish, just not this one.
As the water simmers, use a microplane zester to grate pecorino or a parmesan cheese into the broth, stirring or whisking constantly. Use enough to suit your taste, about 1/8 to 1/4 of a cup. Not all of the cheese will melt. You can strain the broth again to remove the cheese or leave it in if you like--I usually leave it in.
Pour into demitasse cups to serve and top with a few drops of truffle oil (Oliviers & Co make a WONDERFUL one).
