Guest guest Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Jena and Marilyn... I would love to get the excalibur... sadly I am in the same boat as Jena. Prior to going SCD I didn't spend much time in the kitchen. I've bought lots of new toys~ one of my favorites is the stick blender! Muffin tins, roasting pans, a waffle iron, spatulas, LOL! I still need a roasting pan with a lid, Marilyn's sausage machine, more casserole dishes and the excalibur is totally on my list. I think a pressure cooker would be fun to play with. heh.. my new obsession is at least helping the family, *GRIN*! I may have to do a 30 dollar yogurt maker in between now and the excalibur. Rhonda UC Son, 16, CD SCD 2 months Rhonda, If I had the money I'd buy the excalibur dehydrator, then I could make lots at once and still use it for other things, but we are a bit cash poor at the moment and it will have to wait. jena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I understand THAT one. I am, and always have been a cook. But when I started SCD, I had been out of work for two and a half months because of the gallbladder issues which the then PCP couldn't figure out. I had my Maverick grinder -- which I'd bought for making pet food. I had SOME muffin pans, and so forth. I did buy the stick blender. Funnily enough, I never considered a food processor a necessity. I expect I will eventually get used to having one, but I've spent 8 years of SCD without one, and have all sorts of methods for making things without. I do, however, consider my Excalibur to be a saver of my sanity. I bought the first one in January 2002 after trying to make enough yogurt for desserts, and to drip to sub for dry curd cottage cheese for Christmas dinner (EIGHT batches of yogurt?!) I bought the second one in 2005 when trying to prepare enough yogurt for three yogurt-eating SCDers (me, my sister, my niece) coming for my parents' 60th anniversary celebration, AND to have enough to make SCD-legal party foods for all of us for The Big Day. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
