have different varieties now. As for my diagnosis and cooking. Boy that was tough, I had used my Grandmother's recipes and I had to start over. I have been able over the last three years to adjust the recipes. I feel so much better. I used to eat constantly...I am ADHD so I fidget and am very active. But I still was overweight. I have about 40 lbs to lose...having lost 90 lbs since my diagnosis. WW is very Celiac friendly; I like it. I was tired all the time, didn't sleep well...and had numerous miscarriages...wish I knew then. My baking is getting better. My kids of course remember my early disasters. But my son ate the oatmeal cookies I made and the pumpkin cheesecake too at Christmas. If I haven't said so before thanks for the 'Dinner' link. I really enjoy seeing what people are cooking and eating.
Now for the lettuce...I think the steam method is so clever...from what I know, this company is growing things hydroponically...not as advanced as Jersey. I posted the article and a link below.
"CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The hydroponically-grown lettuce from Great Lakes Growers is essentially “E. coli proof,” thanks to a series of safe guards put in place by owner John Bonner.
So while the rest of the country is throwing out lettuce purchased elsewhere, their business is experiencing a massive uptick.
Demand for their products skyrockets amid widespread E. coli scares, like the nationwide one currently being blamed for more than 100 illnesses in 23 states.
“There is this massive swell of demand because everyone had to throw out all their romaine,” said Bonner."
They avoid E. coli contamination, by watering the roots from underneath through aluminum channels, not on the leaves itself which are consumed. And the roots are removed upon shipping, so Bonner said there’s very little chance anything could happen.
He says they closely monitor for bacteria levels in their recycled water.
“We have a system in place that virtually eliminates the risk of it. and we also do testing every week with a third party to verify that,” Bonner said.
They’re working to rise to the occasion, but it can’t happen overnight. Seed to sale” takes them 30-45 days."
