The scones were delicious. I substituted dark chocolate chips and cherries . I'm going to serve the next batch to company on Thursday.

In my quest to find a gluten-free/dairy-free scone I discovered these two web-sites:
http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-recipes
http://www.cybelepascal.com/?tag=gluten-free-vegan-scones
Not sure which recipe I'll try but I'm partial to the one with chocolate chips. I'll use dark chocolate of course :-)

For those of us who can't tolerate coffee and miss our Iced Cappuccinos, I have discovered a tea by Celestial Seasonings called Madagascar Vanilla. It contains rooibos(South Africans call it red bush ), natural vanilla flavour and vanilla bean. It is lovely served cold with almond milk and ice.

Jan, a mustard allergy is going to be so "inconvenient"....reading labels more closely and what exactly does it mean by "spice"???? I guess you'll be doing more home cooking. I'm not good with potato salad so maybe I will have to think about mustard as well. Thank you for alerting me to this !

If there are signs that the mustard allergy or intolerance gets worse Jan then don't hesitate to obtain and carry a pen at all times - I'm sharing this because a friend lost her lovely 20 year daughter to anthactic shock (sorry can't spell it). Yes, you are probably right in being a bit sensitive right now, but keep you chin up and all will be well - sometimes we have to accept nature has its own timescales. Take care.

No I do not have an epi-pen for myself but have 2 in house that are my daughters. I will be a label reader for that now. My sister tolerated sml. amts but that mustard potato salad was very strong on mustard. I am probably extra sensitive right now due to having the cochlear implant and being off balance. Saw the chiropractor today and was just there 2 weeks ago but still off one one side that I am now leaning to at times.

Oh Jan, you'll need to do a lot of label watching as mustard, like wheat, is widely used in products. Do you have an epi-pen for emergencies?

Well, I have a new to me food allergy. mustard. I ate mustard potato salad that had strong mustard taste and next morning woke up with my face and lips swelled. My sister is allergic to mustard but I do not know of anyone else in our family who is .

Just a note to say that the person who sent out the Wal-Mart gift message has been suspended - please do not respond to them. This is the first 'internet flea' we have had for almost a year!
