Anyone have any suggestions on where I might find some certified gluten free large tapioca pearls? I know most of them should be inherently gluten free - but it's nice to go with a safe option!

This year I had the bright idea to combine rhubarb with some meyer lemon zest and it made a fantastic jam - I'm pretty much eating it on everything now. Here's the recipe; http://www.glutenfreetravelette.com/blog/2012/5/8/rhubarb-meyer-lemon-jam.html

I have the same questions as Marni! I started my blog after taking a job that would have me traveling, mostly around the US, about once a month. But we also try to take at least 1 international trip per year, blogging about it has been wonderful for our family and friends and I'm really looking to connect more with the travel blogging community! This year we're off to France and Northern Spain and would love to find some recomendations.

I first converted all my dvd into DiscSox, but that still took up a bunch of space. We then purchased archival DVD storage sleeves (8 discs per page) and a binders from the Container Store to downsize our collection. Not only is it more visually appealing in 3 black cardboard style binders, but it takes up so little space!

While I really want to like the redesign too and appreciate all the hard work. I have to say i miss the links to the other AT sites. There are so many categories for browsing now, it's just a bit much if you're interested in all of the topics.

Also find all the differing fonts a bit of a challenge visually speaking.

Good luck on working out all the bugs!

There are so many possibilities! We are eating an all gluten free meal of maple and sage roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffin, salad, and 3 types of pies. Here are some other ideass; http://glutenfreetravelette.blogspot.com/2011/11/obligatory-thanksgiving-recipe-round-up.html

Love collard greens! They're probably the house favorite right now. We eat them with polenta and bacon; http://glutenfreetravelette.blogspot.com/2011/05/creamy-polenta-with-collard-greens.html

anyone know of a good online source to buy safe gluten free tapioca pearls?

they should naturally be gluten free, but you never know what people sneak in foods now-a-days...

I started a new job last year that has be traveling all over the US quite a lot, so I actually started a blog to catalogue all my travels while being gluten free. http://glutenfreetravelette.blogspot.com/

I also keep a list of all the gluten free friendly restaurants I've ever been to on a seperate page.

Before I travel anywhere I do a ton of research online and make phone calls to find safe places to eat. Including the cards that explain my food intolerances here are a couple of other things that I do;
-bring lots of different food bars
-bring salad dressing packets, tamari soy sauce packets, and nut butter packets
-scout for organic, vegan, and vegitarian friendly grocery stores to stock up once I arrive at my destination (these tend to offer gluten free products)
-when eating out I stick to the safest foods possible...mostly salads with olive oil on the side
-try to stay in hotels that offer at least a refridgerator in the room, a microwave or kitchenette would be even better. that way if it comes down to it you can make your own food.

I'm currently preparing to travel around New Zealand for a month and I've compiled pages of restaurants and grocery stores to go to. I'm bringing a soft collapsable cooler with me to keep my non-dairy milks cool. And I'll bring a bunch of food bars, homemade GF cookies, and beef jerky with me.

Overall the two most important lessons that I've learned are;
1. Do so much research that it makes your hurt. Its so much easier to travel to a new place when you've already called, e-mailed, or confirmed that there are places you can go to eat out.
2. Never assume you will be able to find safe food, so always come prepared. (I've learned that nut butter tastes great on pretty much anything and food bars can save any bad day.)

Fresh made hashbrowns in the mornings or as a side dish with dinner! I've been using yukon golds for this for a couple months now and it even beats out waffles!
