Interestingly enough, the dietary restrictions I ended up with actually
netted me a MORE varied diet! I started branching out and trying new

I consider the
stir-fry one of the all-time great cooking methods because you can stir
fry practically anything. And what a boon for those of us with our own
edible gardens. However, I do miss eating out at Chinese restaurants
since it's nearly impossible to get anything that is gluten free.

I appear to be ok with that for the most part. We rarely eat out at all
any more.

I'm a better cook. g
And it saves money.

Where are you? I'm in central Texas, Austin area.

30+ miles due west of St. Louis. Zone 6. I see you're 8. Big
difference!

Huh. I must confess to not being too knowledgeable about zones. :-(

I just know what I can grow, and what I can't, and what works in the
greenhouses I have.
