Gluten-Free Thanksgiving
As you all know now, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Suddenly, our lives and our diets had to change dramatically. Fortunately, Cliff and I both enjoy experimenting with new recipes and we found ways to make eating gluten free pleasant, however it was a bit more of a challenge getting our son on board. However, he is coming around slowly but surely! Then it hit us....The first Thanksgiving since I was diagnosed was coming quick! We needed to find some gluten-free recipes for one of the most important dinners all year! My parents came over for Thanksgiving dinner and my Mom made the turkey, and I cooked everything else. Here are a few of the ways I prepared a gluten-free feast that everybody enjoyed!
1) Replace flour with corn starch as a thickener for the gravy. Corn starch is fairly inexpensive, and you can use about half the amount of corn starch as you would wheat flour to get the same consistency. Comes out great!
2) Use stale gluten-free bread to make stuffing. This is one place where you don’t need to have the most tasty gluten-free bread to make a good dish. Just like regular bread, gluten-free bread can be found on day-old sales. When we found out I had Celiac we began stock up and freeze bits of inexpensive gluten-free bread for a couple weeks prior to Thanksgiving. Then we have all we need to make a great stuffing everyone can enjoy.
3) Make your green bean casserole from scratch. Start by frying your own onion rings. Cut onions and dip in a mixture of buttermilk and corn flour. Flash fry. Then drain and set aside. This can be done a day or two in advance if necessary. Next prepare your own cream sauce the way you would to make scalloped potatoes from scratch. Add fresh, sliced mushrooms while the sauce is reducing. Pour this over fresh or frozen green beans.
4) We also enjoy a crustless pumpkin pie. Rather than using a pie crust, we simply mix the ingredients for the custard, pour it into a glass pie pan and bake as directed. Really simple, still delicious!
Going gluten free certainly presents challenges. Use these tips, and no one in your family will miss gluten at all this Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
-Tiff and Cliff
The "Day of the Lambic" is in 2 weeks
On Saturday, December 8, one of Belgium's premier
lambic events will be held at its premier lambic beer
cafe: In de Verzekering Tegen de Grote Dorst (In the
Insurance Against the Great Thirst.) The cafe is
located in Eizeringen (Lennik) in the Payottenland.
Photo, above: Yves (left) and Kurt Panneels
The "Dag van de Lambiek," as they say in Flemish,
is an event where Yves and Kurt Panneels, who own
the cafe, have many straight, unblended lambics on
offer from the various lambic breweries and blenderies
in Belgium. "It's a feast for lovers of unblended
lambics!" Yves told me. "Most are served from barrels,"
he added.
"The theme is the art of brewing lambic, and the art
surrounding the lambic beer culture. We will have
cartoons from Belgian homebrewer Erwin Vanmol
displayed on the walls of the pub," Yves remarked.
There will be at least ten lambics, in jong (young)
oude (old) and kriek (kriekenlambic, cherries steeped
in lambic) form, and possibly more.
This is the fifth year of Day of the Lambic, which
started in 2008. Each year starting then, lambics
not enjoyed during the event were blended to make
a special, very rare Oude Geuze.
Only 24 bottles in the 75 cl size and 15 in the
1.5 liter Magnum size were filled in 2008, and
these are getting very hard to find now. I wrote
about this beer in 2010, here
Somehow, I still have my bottle, which is
number 11 of 24. Whether I'd ever part with
it, or age it for a few more years and open on a
special occasion, is something I haven't decided.
"We will likely do another special bottling this
year as well," Yves commented.
For full details of the event, which runs from 3 pm
to 8 pm, see: http://www.dagvandelambik.be.

Belgian beer, brewery, and cafe images available as prints
First: Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it!
OK, back to Belgium.
During my visits to 130 Belgian breweries and over 300 beer
specialist cafes since 1994, I have captured about 25,000
images. For the last four and a half years, I have been using
a Canon digital SLR: a 12 megapixel Digital Rebel, with
Canon lens.
I have just started offering some of these for sale as prints
through Fine Art America. Here is their website. A direct
link to my profile is here.
With this site, you can choose the type of print, as well
as different sizes of prints. Art, canvas, acrylic, framed,
and metal are offered, as well as greetings cards.
The images you see on the site are not the highest
resolution versions, to prevent theft. However, the
prints are made using the high-resolution,
unwatermarked images. You can see a preview of
this on the site.
Fine Art American processes the order, makes
the print, and mails it to you. There is even a 30
day money back guarantee!
I've started with photos from Brasserie Dupont, as well
as a number of photos from the cellar at Cafe Bodega
(the first beer cafe owned by the owners of the Kulminator
in Antwerp) as well as the cellar at Brouwerij Liefmans
and some other places.
Many more images will be added over the course of time,
so check back at the Fine Art America site frequently.
With Christmas right around the corner, why not reward
yourself, or a friend, relative, or significant other, with
a print of a beautiful Belgian beer scene?
Bar, restaurant and retail shop owners, take note: you might
as well get some prints too, and impress your Belgian beer
loving customers!
PS If anyone has seen a specific photo that I have captured
that interests you, send me a mail and I will see if I can get
it uploaded on the site.
