Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!

I have two friends diagnosed with Celiac. Some people think it makes them healthier to eat gluten-free (I think that is more about the fact that it really forces them to control and research their diet) but... it is their body, their life, their decisions. My opinion doesn't factor in. If someone tells me they are vegetarian when I invite them to dinner, I'm not going to tell them I'm making nothing but meat. This is the same thing. If you want them around, or are obligated to invite them, you need to make something they can eat. Now I wouldn't make a full vegetarian meal for the vegetarian, unless that was already what I had planned, but I'd make sure they had enough options to make a meal out of. This has very little to do with food and everything to do with being a good host(ess). You accommodate your guests.
Diced Granny Smith apples X2, 1/4 tsp brown sugar, drizzle of agave nectar. Vacuum seal in bag, sous vide @ 180 @ 45mins. Smush with hands, presto apple sauce.

Or alternately, same thing + cook in a pan on the stovetop on medium/high heat for 20 minutes. Same result

Not for normal people, and not for fat bodies either, as a certain amount are necessary. But for folks like me, carbs can't be handled by the pancreas' ability to form phase I insulin response, which begins when saliva starts to absorb the carb into the blood stream and tries to normalize sugar levels in the blood.

The glucose-lactose free pizza? Nope. That's my buddy's cross to bear, not mine. I'm going to freak out if I have to give up cheese.

I do, never done it in a food processor though. I have the dry carafe for my Vitamix that I do it in. Food processor would probably work fine.

I think I might make the chipotle chicken chili in the first post tomorrow. Anyone made it that thinks it needs any tweaks? To me, it looks good as is. As much as I love peppers/chilies, I've never cooked with chipotles before. She recommends three peppers, and that sounds more than reasonable, but I have no idea how hot they are.
I also REALLY wanted a ceramic coated iron cast dutch oven.

I thought the chili was fantastic as is, only thing I did was add more MASA and shredded the chicken. I also thought 3 chipotles was too many, 1 1/2 was perfect for me.

What kind of Pacific IslanderAREyou, anyways?!?
And since I refuse to sous vide anything, ever, I'm tempted to get some dachshunds like in the gif for when I inevitably set my kitchen on fire.

3 is fine if you like heat/smoke. I use 3 and make sure I scrape all the seeds/juices into the chili. I will sometimes throw a spoonful of the sauce in there too. My wife is not a spicy heat person and she has never complained.
and I usually put a little more masa in than the recipe calls for as well.
