Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Results of the Inidan dinner

First of all I have never been sore from cooking before! My feet were killing me and my upper body was sore and tired from stirring and chopping. Sunday I felt jet-lagged. Anyway as to the dinner I made some safe and some unsafe things. I will link most of them in case you want to make them too. First of all I made homemade ginger ale which was awesome as a tea base too! Great for the tummy. homemade ginger ale or tea I made Amanda Panda's hummus here. and pita chips (which were too crunchy) and sliced baguette with olive oil Pam. I also made candied curried pecans and bought some Indian snack mix. I made samosas. I can't find the recipe I used now. And I had mango chutney and made yogurt chutney but also can't find that link right now. It was yogurt and a can of tomatoes with green chilies. ( if anyone wants these recipes I will find them or just type in the copies I have ). Then I made basmati rice with saffron in the rice cooker and aloo gobhi stuffing without butter. I liked it but there was an awful lot left. Then we had chicken with a canned tandoori marinade and lite coconut milk and lamb shoulder roast like this and both marinaded all night and day. I don't know how it happened but they got done at the same time and were perfect -at least that went really well. And we had green beans with garam masala seasoning and Thai basil since I don't like cilantro. For dessert I made a safe cake orange cardamom cake and coconut cream pie for others. So the bad news was this: on Friday I made the cake and made an extra muffin and happily munched on it all day. Then I made the pie which was just my banana cream pie recipe but with coconut so I stuck my finger into the custard to taste it. One lick! and a half hour later I had D! it was mild but frustrating! So seriously I didn't cheat with all that food in the house except for wanting to check that pie filling. I hardly had a teaspoonful! I did have ginger ale the next day and was pretty fine. At the end of the evening I had some bloat, probably from holding in gas all evening, but all in all I did fine- other than complete exhaustion!
