WARNING!!! THIS DUDE IS EVIL!!!

Okay, so you GF-savvy people probably already have read about this and have already been adequately outraged.

Chef Damian Cardone, publicly posted this on facebook, and it got subsequently picked up sites such as celiac.com, and The Celiac Handbook.

Gluten free is bullsXXX!! Flour and bread have been a staple of life for thousands, THOUSANDS of years. People who claim to be gluten intolorant dont realize that its all in there disturbed liitle heads. People ask me for gluten free pasta in my restaurant all the time, I tell em sure, Then I serve serve em our pasta, Which I make from scratch with high gluten flour. And you know what? nothing, NOTHING! ever happens! People leave talking about how good they feel gluten free and guess what, They just had a full dose! Idiots!

 

I just wanted to warn some folks about this very, very, sadistic and ignorant and just plain EVIL man.

TV

Last night I was innocently watching people get lost and get angry and drink lots of tea on the Amazing Race. 
Cut to commercial. BLAH BLAH BLAH NATIONWIDE INSURANCE, BRAWNY PAPER TOWELS, BLAH BLAH BLAH. And then up on the screen pops this lady, and I am almost positive she is the star of some other show I don't watch and she is talking about how this terrible disease damages your intestines and is really bad for you and most people don't even know they have it, and I am sitting there like, "Oh frosties, what if I have this? It sounds awful and OHMYGOD IT COULD KILL YOU PROBABLY!", and then this lady with the braids is all, CELIAC DISEASE. GET TESTED.  And I am just like, I DO HAVE THAT!!!!

Anyway, point of the story is, those "CBS Cares" things will scare your socks and YAY for Celiac awareness.

Stonehearth

I recently discovered a pizza place on the east coast. One the offers every single pizza and pasta on their menu in GF!!!!! I nearly peed myself, that's how excited I was when I heard this. The days of cheese pizza and plain pasta when eating out are OVER!!!! If I wanted, I could have pineapple-chicken-sausage-onion-tomato-chocolate pizza. I dont want to do that, because it sounds gross, but I COULD!!! I just think that is wonderful. So, whenever I am in Massachusetts, I will be eating at Stonehearth Pizza. And I encourage you to try it, too.

Ice Cream

It's that time of year again. When we update all of our GF ice-cream lists and call all the ice-cream shops, and all the ice-cream manufacturers. It is always amazing to me how many ice-creams are not GF. I mean, sure I understand if they have cookies or brownie or other things like that, I understand that because of liability, many places cannot say something is GF, but what I dont get is why so many of  the ice cream bases, in the most basic flavors (vanilla, chocolate), are not GF. Even if the are made on their own equipment line!! Is wheat germ put into it? Any ideas?

Wow.

I have always thought I was okay with being the only GF person in my grade, the only GF teen that I REALLY know. But now one of my closest friends is wheat-free (WF), and I am giddy. GIDDY. Wow. That sounds so lame! But, it is so true! Now, I know that WF and GF are different and they entail VERY different things. However, I just cannot wait to have someone to talk to! To unite with against those awful people who give us flak for asking for a clean ice-cream scoop.

I always thought that I was totally fine with going at it on my own, but now I guess I always felt a little out of it. I guess I always kind of felt like no body at the lunch table really understood. NOW someone does though!!!!!! :) SO HAPPY!!

thanks for "listening."
