Spring Plant Swap 2015 Food PotLuck Discussion

Baltimore, MD(Zone 7a)

Sally! Think again!!!

You may not have room for anything! Remember i have those
two HUGE clumps of dug up DL's and about 3 trays /boxes of plants.
Plus--my chair and my food. I am really concerned....

Well--you know best... Gita

You may be right there Gita. I might put ice bag in a reusable insulated shopping bag that can go under somebody's feet? A cooler is a big space hog. I have two boxes that can stack, and a couple pots.

I may have missed it but if anyone has coolers that would be greatly appreciated...don't know why (again) I didn't think to ask till the 11th (plus) hour...ugh

I think the ice and cooler that SSG are bringing will be enough, Sally; don't worry about cramming a cooler into your car or having ice melt under someone's feet.

OK Muddy thanks

I will have to check more closely, but Jeff may be able to eat my Greek pasta salad if I'm using vegetable rotinti.

Not sure Ric, I think they still use wheat in those. Barilla does make a gluten free Rotini though.

If I do mac 'n cheese again, I'll look for the gluten free pasta.. this time, I just brought what I'd put the in freezer. Hmm, wonder if the gluten free mac can be frozen without going to mush?

Lititz, PA(Zone 6b)

Not sure. Gluten free noodles aren't as durable as regular. Also, if cooking with GF pasta, it's best to use brown rice rather than quinoa. Also, if it's overcooked, it falls apart by practically looking at it.

Thanks, Sequoia! Sounds like it might hold up in a casserole if I'm careful, but it probably wouldn't survive being frozen & thawed. Have you tried to do lasagna? I assemble regular lasagna with uncooked pasta (so much easier!), adding about 1/2 cup of water to the sauce but otherwise proceeding as usual.

Lititz, PA(Zone 6b)

Yeah, Darcy makes killer lasagna. She just made it last week. I think it's better than having 'real' noodles. There is a brand called Tinkyada that makes a ton of different noodle shapes. We use them for all the baking noodles. They make them from brown rice. If I'm just eating regular spaghetti, I use quinoa noodles because they taste better in that type of dish.

Good to know!
