Curry Lobster Rolls



**found in Food and Wine Magazine, September 2011 issue

OMG, divine!! I so miss having lobster rolls out in the Hamptons!  It's so annoying that I can't have this because of  hidden gluten, and well the bun!  But now there are many gf brands that carry hot dog and hamburger rolls gluten-free.  Yay, issue averted!

Active time: 45 minutes/Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes
4 servings

Two 1 1/4-pound live lobsters
8 fresh or dozen kaffir lime leaves
1 tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for rubbing
1 large shallot, minced
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, minced (optional)
3/4 tsp. curry powder
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
1 tbsp. chopped dill
Salt
4 GF hot dog buns, split (try Udi's or Ener G Gluten-Free or Rudis)
1 Kirby cucumber, thinly sliced

1.  Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.  In a large pot of boiling water, cook the lobsters until they turn bright red, 8 minutes.  Drain and let cool.
2.  Twist the bodies from the tails.  Using scissors, cut along the underside of the shells and remove the meat.  Halve the tails lengthwise and discard the dark intestines.  Crack the claws and remove the meat in one piece.  Remove the knuckle meat.  Transfer the lobster to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
3.  Holding a lime leaf, pull off the stem to divide the leaf in half.  Repeat with the remaining leaves.  Rub the leaves with the oil; transfer to a baking sheet.  Bake for 8 minutes, until crisp.
4.  In a small skillet, heat the 1 tbsp. of oil.  Add the shallot and cook over moderately low heat until softened, 2 minutes.  Mash the anchovies with the shallot.  Add the curry powder and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.  Scape the mixture into a bowl and let cool.  Stir in the mayonnaise, lime juice and dill and season with salt.  Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
5.  Fold the curry mayonnaise into the lobster.  spoon the salad into the buns; top with the lime leaves and cucumber.


Enjoy! xoxo Julie

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com  

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
