*Enjoy life president follower on twitter

A person claiming to be president of Enjoy Life foods is following on twitter to glutenfreediary

We think it interesting and a bit odd that this is the case. It would be great if an important representative from Enjoy Life were a follower, leaving the president of the company to help invent and market more yummy stuff.

a good selection of gluten free stuff at at least on belmont market location in rhode island.

* will google ever love glutenfreediary.com again?

google used to love glutenfreediary.com - now it just likes glutenfreediary.com

a while ago doing a google search of gluten free diary on google showed up glutenfreediary.com in around the sixth position in the list. After some tweeking, including adding some keywords, google doesn't like glutenfreediary.com as much.

*google search for gluten free and other stuff

*Appendix
*Abstract

The retail market for gluten-free foods and beverages is exploding as a result of multiple triggers. On the marketer side, giant General Mills has converted its venerable Rice Chex Brand to gluten-free status, thus beginning what promises to be a battle of giants as other mega-marketers look to enter the fray. The first giant marketer to create a gluten-free product was Anheuser-Busch, which debuted a gluten-free beer, Redbridge in 2006. Also that year the international spice giant McCormick and Co. acquired Simply Asia Foods. Undeterred, numerous specialty marketers have sprung up, using web 2.0 networking to sell directly in what has long been a consumer driven market.

On the consumer side, demand has been growing exponentially as sufferers of a wide variety of maladies (including celiac disease, autism, attention deficit disorder, irritated bowel syndrome, and MS) have come to believe a gluten-free diet will provide relief. The consumer core of celiac disease, and gluten allergy, sufferers is also growing steadily as diagnosis and treatment of these conditions has improved and increased.

Retailers are holding up their side too. Supermarkets’ gluten-free marketing ranges from gluten-free product lists on their websites, to gluten-free private-label reformulations, to new gluten-free store sections. Even the Federal Government is lending a hand as it finalizes regulatory criteria for gluten-free labeling. This new regulatory clarity should prove a boon to marketers currently struggling through a hodge-podge of self-help organizations for certification. Even the current economic slowdown cannot be seen as a negative factor for the overall gluten-free foods and beverages market, as hard-pressed consumers are motivated to try dietary self-help when mainstream medical assistance grows out of reach.

Packaged Facts projects that this segment of the U.S. retail marketplace enjoyed a 28% CAGR to reach $1.56 billion by the end of 2008. Packaged Facts goes on to project that the segment will continue to grow, though not at the same torrid pace, through 2012.

friday august 14, 2009

*Saw a dude around the local post office with a tshirt with (just the words) gluten-free on the back

*Use it or lose it

Actually, it is more like you must buy it a lot, or you will not find it. If there is gluten-free food at a store where you buy stuff and you like it then please keep buying it (early and often). Some stores are starting to stop selling gluten free foods that not enough people buy. So buy gluten free food.

*BYOB

Remember to Bring Your Own Beer if you are going on an out of town vacation. Gluten-Free Redbridge beer by Anhueser-Busch is yummy (and full of sorghum) - which was found a while ago (since it is not easy to find you should buy a couple of six packs at a time) at ShopRite Wines & Spirits of Englewood,
55 Nathaniel Place Englewood, NJ 07631 -Please drink responsibly.

*Birthday party - BYOC

When you go to someone's birthday party you should celebrate! And a great way to celebrate is to share in a baked good eating experience! Of course a problem is that when you go to someone's birthday party, and you are gluten free, YOU can't eat the cake. So... BYOC - Bake your own Cake and Bring your own Cake

Actually, consider baking gluten free brownies to bring to enjoy at the party. And remember to tell those hosting the party if you decide to bring the entire pan of brownies - they could be shared with others who eat gluten free!..

We started with the box of Cherrybrook Kitchen gluten free fudge brownie mix, which we got from Organica Natural Foods, 246 Livingston Street, Northvale NJ 07647, recently...

Recipe and instructions - We gathered and used: the mix box, 1/2 cup of water, a mini cup of natural motts apple sauce (3.9 ounces), a toothpick, a spoon to mix with, a bowl to mix in, spray pam, an 8x8 inch square brownie cooking tin, a piece of aluminum foil to cover the tin once baked, a tooth pick

-Spray the tin with the pam
-preheat an oven to, our preference, approx 330 degrees
-pour and mix in the bowl: the mix box contents, the apple sauce and 1/2 cup of water
-let mixture relax for about 10 minutes
-bake for 14 minutes at 330 degrees. continue and bake, depending on how moist it is (if curious use the toothpick) at 305 degrees for another 5 minutes.
-Take out of the oven.
-let the brownies relax for a while before eating...

Please note that our recipe differs from what cherrybrook kitchen suggests (also their bake times are different).

Local health natural food stores, Healthway, wednesday august 5, 2009

wednesday august 5, 2009

*Upon starting a gluten free diet go to the local health natural food store. There you will learn about what products are available to buy to include in a balanced gluten free diet. Personal preference will guide about favorites of each type of food.

Today at the local health food store Healthway natural foods, 35 riveredge road, tenafly NJ 07670 purchases were:

Glutino gluten free French Toast Slices (8), from the freezer case, cost of $7.29

Ians gluten free French Toast Sticks (15-18), from the freezer case, cost of $5.69

Tinkyada gluten free Grand Shells, to stuff for a delicious meal for 3 or 4 people, cost of $3.29. Tinkyada also makes gluten free Lasagne, which also would be for a delicious meal for 3 to 4 people.

...And be comfortable to ask the store helper/clerk about products or product types which you deduce should be available but you do not see. The Tinkyada grand shells started to be stocked at the Tenafly Healthway only after we asked about them - and people have been buying them, and they continue to be stocked. Particularly, Local health food stores have a limited amount of shelf space, mind space, time, and capital.

*On vacation out of town enjoy time together by visiting the local health natural food store.

*And at the Columbus Circle whole foods got glutino gluten free pretzels 8 oz bag, cost $4.69

*To and from the day (summer) camp mentioned in other posts, this summer, on one bus well known to us, but randomly chosen from the rest, of the 20 or less kids riding on the bus, at least 3 celiacs ride the bus.

How do we start to reverse the trend of people increasingly getting celiac?

*Type into google gluten free diary and do a google search - this website is found sixth on the results list of websites - very good after just a few days

Shop Rite, google adsense : monday August 3, 2009

monday August 3, 2009:

* Grocery shopping. At Shop Rite supermarket, 246 Livingston Street, Northvale, NJ 07647. FANTASTIC selection of gluten free foods, nestled in a section with other "specialty foods". Plenty of stuff: today's purchases included two bags of Tinkyada gluten free pasta (one pound bag for $2.99) and Annie's gluten free mac and cheese (one box for $3.29).

Eating gluten free is more expensive.

*Google adsense ads were easy to place into this blog (especially true if you already have an account with google adsense). I picked the layout placement desired, told it my signin info for an existing adsense account, and it set stuff up nicely.

Much less easy was placing a google adsense search box at the top of the blog. For this you need to copy existing adsense search box html into just the right spot in the html for your blog (I put it just where the body start is).

A&P grocery shopping : sunday august 2, 2009

sunday august 2, 2009:

*Grocery shopping. We have learned and thus do not even try to look for gluten free foods at any stores in the chain of the A and P supermarket

*When making chicken strips, try breading by using a combination of crushed corn chex and cinnamon, and moisten with a combo of egg and peanut butter. For breading we also enjoy gillian's gluten free bread crumbs

Cassie's and Tinkyada saturday august 1, 2009

*Welcome to august 2009. It is expected to be cooler than usual.

*Went with friends out to italian food dinner at Cassie's, 203 Route 303, Orangeburg, NY 10962.
How do we do this, given the gluten free requirement?..

Well, first of all, we are tolerant enought of gluten that we can eat gluten free pasta which came from the same cooking pot that just cooked pasta with gluten.

Next, we bring a full unopened bag of Tinkyada gluten free pasta with us to an italian food joint. Once seated, we tell the waitperson that we need them to cook our pasta for us. As uncomfortable as this might seem, this has worked for us for most requests. We always assume that we will pay the regular price for the dish (even tho' we brought our own pasta). Sometimes we get some of the uncooked Tinkyada pasta given back to us at the end of the meal. Sometimes we order two different dishes to be made - sharing the contents of the bag between both dishes.
