Oh, I know.  Been saying that for years.  This is one of my wife's go-to wines.  Usually $10.99 at Rite Aid which is 2 bucks cheaper than other retailers at least.  And they have this pinot for $10.99 all the time.  Very good for the price.  And if you want to go fancy pants, I recommend this one for ~$30ish.

Also an excellent selection of boxed wines if you're into budgeting.

Dating a french whore has changed my wine intake from a bottle a month to 2 bottles a night.

Rite Aid has a MacMurray  pinot for $17 that is pretty good.

Can't wait to walk into a Rite-aid for the first time.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.....unless you're after a nice cheese platter with a wine pairing, apparently.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: No idea what Rite-Aids y'all are frequenting in the PacNW, but where I grew up that was like going to the Winn-Dixie of drug stores. 

 
Hack, my go-to session beer can be had at Rite-Aid for $7.99 a sixer.  I like the cans because I can hide them in my giant recycle can vs. bottles which stick out like a sore thumb on my curb in a red bin.  Like to try and hide my alcoholism from the neighbors as best I can.  6% ABV and 50 IBU.  Solid little beer for the price.

 
My stepfather got diagnosed with celiac disease yesterday.  Not terrible news considering there were about a billion biopsies done to check for cancer and those all came back fine, but it does call into question all this ####### beer-making equipment inhabiting my house so that he and Mr krista could brew beer.

Anyway, any of you ever deal with this?  Would appreciate any pointers on how Mr krista can cook in a fashion not to kill him, etc.

You can make Gluten free beer.

I wouldn't dare let it pass my lips, but it's doable. I'm sure there's a recipe out there OH and SD can use

Can it be turned into a meth making rig?

I have.  If he's full-blown celiac, that's a massive problem for lots of cooking.

Good list:

http://www.the-gluten-free-diet.com/gluten-free-foods.html

When using sauces and pre-made condiments and things, be very careful.  Even if all the ingredients are gluten free, if it's processed in a facility that also processes wheat ingredients, it's a no-go.

Most companies have a list of what products are gluten free on their websites.

Kraft does a pretty good job of labeling  things. 

Condiments: Emeril's line of mustards and other condiments has a lot of gluten free options - he has a relative with celiac disease.

And Heinz has a great page full of options: http://www.heinz.com/glutenfree/products.html

Just how sensitive to gluten is he? If he's really sensitive, he's going to have to make a total life change. Glutens even in shampoos, certain glues, etc. have to be avoided for super allergic folks. He may have to get all new plates, cutlerly, cookware, etc. 

If he's smartphone proficient, there are some great apps that let you scan barcodes and they'll tell you if the food is gluten free or not.

It's a tough road. One of my best friends has two kids that have Celiac's and it's crazy the lengths they have to go to in order to avoid gluten and how insanely sick they get when coming into contact with even a small amount.

 
Thanks, HF and Grove.  I suspect he has a pretty bad case of it, as he's been extremely sick and lost about 15 pounds in the last month or so.

If it's celiac and not gluten sensitivity, it's a bad case. And the weight loss is a clincher.  His body won't absorb nutrients properly when he's been glutened.  

Cooking or preparing food on surfaces that have even had breadcrumbs on them without a thorough washing/sterilization process is a no-no.  I know celiac households that use different pans and spatulas for the gluten-free members of the household than for the others.  It gets to be a huge pain the rear.

I have bad gluten insensitivites, but it just makes me achey and lethargic. I've a friend with Celiac's and she gets horrible reactions and the slightest amount can send her health into a tailspin. A lot pf people like to make fun of gluten stuff, but its very real.

The bad news is that he will need to be extremely vigilant to recover, but recovery is possible and will change his life for the better. 

Rice flour, corn flour and potato starch his new friends. Corn tortillas and rice noodles, especially work as good starch substitutes for me. Wiht either of those if you cook your own protein and vegetables you can have really good meals and not feel like you are suffering.

Restaurants are your enemy. For Celiac sufferers,frying something in a fryer that had been used to fry anything with flour will trigger. SO while you can fry with potato starch or rice flour, the oil needs to be uncontaminated. Same with the counters. If they prepared anything with flour on the countertop and then his food touches that countertop, he could have a reaction. Some place know all this and can be trusted, but most do not.

I'd recommend looking into some Paleo books. They are all gluten free and may help him find a lifestyle that work fro his disease and will liekly make him significantly healthier.

I'm willing to overlook one little triteness for the larger picture that the idea should never be entertained that playing five seconds of major college football (let's overlook for a moment that it's Notre Dame -- puke) is some noble and glorious achievement.

HOT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know this already, but Portland real estate has exploded.  Still, I have to think selling in Chicago and buying here would be a net win for you, no?  Let me know if you want to meet up with my ex-BIL.  Very good agent, low pressure, nice guy, knows the city very well.
