We have a spring on our cabin site and had it tested and it was definltely not drinkable water.  I think even the filter wouldn't work.  We had the test done quite a few years ago...I remember not even being able to read the names of the bacteria that was in it let alone understand them.  We have cattle that other folks have on their land which connects to our creek and stream, so I am thinking that has a lot to do with it as they urinate or poop in it.  Not to mention the other animals that probably do the same thing on a daily basis.  You are fortunate Doug to have mountain water.  And Tony, the well sounds great - The minerals sound healthy.  There are waters that have minerals in them - There is supposedly mineral water Bar in LA that specializes in different waters from different places with different sorts of minerals in them.  Has anyone ever heard of that new thing happening with water? 

It is always good to hear that folks with celiac disease know now how to handle this ... Way back when no one knew what was going on and died from it - how sad. 

Yes, TooSweet - you have been greatly missed - so it is good to hear that you will be hanging around more...

okay, I am about to read the article.  Thanks for the many articles in the FTS forum.  Never would have found them otherwise.

I am going to try this soon.  It looks really good.  Going to have to buy the 'forms' to put the mixture into.

Hey Umpa,...I'm okay cause I am indulging in the FTS bakery book - scrumptious!  You and Doug are the best folk around.  Love you both!  Hi TooSweet - how are you doing these wonderful days?!

This sounds great!

I love salmon - All sounds good to me - will have to check out the recipes i the forum.  When I go to an Italian restaurant, believe it or not, and my husband grumbles at this, but I will always buy salmon.  As I am Italian, I have experienced first hand wonderful Italian cuisine, so going to restaurants just isn't the same thing.  So, I buy Salmon and love it.
