amych's phrasing is the best. Proactive without coming across as needy.
I'm freezing in my little house. Maybe it's from watching luge in a house with crap insulation?
'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Can you let me know more about what the lunch and dinner plans are? I'd like to check on what their vegan options are."
So much better! Good one, amych.
Luge is definitely chilling. I would switch to oh, say, beach volleyball.
I have houseguests coming in this weekend. He has celiac disease, but she's actually the harder to accommodate foodwise because she's picky. So in my head I was all, okay, Jalapeno's has gluten free stuff, but no, she doesn't like Mexican. The SO could cook Asian, but no, that takes soy sauce and that has gluten.
So I think we're down to: there's a local breakfast joint that has good french toast that I think she'd like and has gluten-free bread options, if we can get there early enough in the day. And then I can do bacon and eggs and almond pancakes one day. I need to check that recipe all the way through but I'm pretty sure it's gluten-free. Lunches I've seen her eat burgers so maybe we could do venison sliders. Oh, and maybe I could do a fresh mozzarella & tomato thing, a caprese salad. I could also just have the greens and fixings available for a regular salad and I could do some homemade Italian dressing.
So that leaves dinners. I usually feed guests fajitas (out), pastas (out), Asian foods (out), homemade bread (out). Maybe chili? I wonder if I have time to experiment with gluten free flour for a green chile cheesebread? Maybe tomorrow.

You can use tamari, which is GF soy sauce. Or, really, it's soy sauce made with soy, no wheat. (Why *does* soy sauce have wheat???)

Most all-purpose GF flour (like King Arthur, or really any brand -- Glutino, Gluten-Free Kitchen, etc.) is fine to sub for regular flour in most baking recipes that aren't supposed to end up as fluffy sandwich bread.
Could you do fajitas with corn tortillas?
The issue with fajitas is the mexicanish nature?
I don't want to do the dishes.
I'll do 'em! Oh, wait... I'm pinned by a cat on the other side of the continent.
And my nose is runny.
I have, however, mail ordered Belgian chocolates (mmm... neuhaus) and a pair of socks from Sock Dreams that say LOVE on them. I'm ready for Valentine's DAy.

Oh, duh. I read that and apparently my brain was full. Okay, nix the corn tortillas.
I have delayed reaction from this weekend's adventures. Usually the swim would help, but seems to have just accelerated things. Lying on a baseball, trying to remove my shoulderblade.
