What's left, salad vegetables and poultry?

Rice, corn, potatoes, pork, fruit.

Always Anti-fascist!

I was that person once, Teppy. Sadly, I don't think there's anyway to really learn but to do it, and screw up a lot, so I feel bad that he is doing it in a high stakes context like that, but I agree they don't pay you to be a tutor.

I am glad i don't have many food sensitivities/ allergies. I think I might take that hard, paired up with the restrictions on my life that I already have. Also, I'm finally developing a palate that doesn't just want the same twelve things...it would suck to stop.(Although I'm still often weird about texture and mouth feel and stuff that makes me think I was a sommelier in a former life.) I'm still not really sure what gluten is, I guess, as I would have guessed GF cereal to be impossible.

Isn't haloumi cheese made from goats' milk? Or maybe sheeps' milk? I keep meaning to try it. I hear it's good grilled.

It's just the protein in wheat. So many cereals made of corn, for instance (corn flakes, corn chex) are fine for GF people to eat. Also rice (like rice chex).

But Frosted Mini-Wheats are DEATH.

I admit that I get impatient with people who are fad diet evangelists, but that's a separate issue in my mind.

Well, not really, because they're the reason people who have serious issues can't have nice things, by which I mean, they're the reason people who have serious issues get the sideeye and assumptions that they are Paltrowing.

That's what I meant, but you put it more succinctly, Plei.

I got goat milk cheddar at Cowgirl Creamery and it is delicious!

Okay. I need to go wrangle work tasks. And not cry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

As you know, Bob, I was down for the pumpkin spice burger, but I think Pimpkin Spice Vodka is where I draw the line. For some reason.

This post brought to you by Shopping at Cost Plus. Eta where they have free wifi. Who knew?

But also ironically the reason they can have nice things, in that without all the fad gluten-free folks there's substantially fewer options in the grocery aisle and at the bakery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker brought goat milk candy from Mexico, which I have been eating all day! Mmmmm....leche de cabra.

I think Pimpkin Spice Vodka is where I draw the line. For some reason.

Because pimpkin ain't easy??
