-gluten free rice krispy bars. ick. they are also dairy free. maybe that is why they are ick? They are tolerable as a food-edible item. but they are NOT rice krispy bars. HA!
-gluten free microwave popcorn. it was also dairy free. i usually make air popped popcorn, but these cute little individual bags were given to me as a gift. whatever they use for butter flavoring that is non-dairy didn't do the trick. starting to feel sorry for my brother who is dairy free, however i bet he doesn't eat things that are artificially dairy-flavored!
-gluten free soy sauce. success!
I had a patient today who was asking about gluten free diet. she doesn't have celiac disease but someone in her family suggested she follow it for no reason. it was my first time feeling confident talking about celiac disease with a patient. in the past, when i had a patient on a gluten free diet i was always never sure what i was really saying.
I attempted to buy this black bean sauce for stir fry that was advertised at Whole Foods as gluten free. Or so I thought. darn it when I got home all excited to use it tonight, i checked the label and it had wheat. boo. it was probably a 6-10 dollar jar of sauce.
on another note...i was sick twice today. wonder what it was....i could spend hours tracking and thinking and wondering. maybe it wasn't related to gluten at all?
i'm hosting book club tomorrow at my house. andy is downstairs making the cookies. real cookies for my guests. i asked him not to bake them until i was upstairs so i wouldn't have to smell them. what a man!
Sorry for the ick failures, but hey, we are ruling them out right? Greg does have a butter substitute that he likes and he cooks popcorn in a pan on the stove. I'll keep trying, will not give up, and if even 1 out of 4 items are good, then I feel like a mom should feel.
