Still haven't been put on the schedule yet for work.
Sooo, I definitely didn't go today.
I could actually get used to planning my own schedule like this. I mean... as long as it was salary based.
Cause lord knows my whims of pro-activity are about as dependable as a hooker's money-back guarantee.
Nah... but really. I could dig it.
.......
SO the fam and I made GLUTEN - FREE PIZZAs tonight. Yaaaaay!!!
My auntie was swagger-jackin' though, cause i tooootally made GF pizza's with the kids while she and my uncle were off swangin' on Tequila in Mexico. .. but w/e.
GF pizza paired with Teq, an Ethiopian honey wine. Yummmm :-)
......
I was talking to these two ladies at work the other day about Uno's Gluten Free menu. She had mentioned how both her and her daughter had Celiac disease and how refreshing it was to be able to come into a restaurant and see a menu tailored to their needs.
I was vaguely flattered. Half of me didn't really care and was just throwing on the "server face", the other half's curiosity was perked, because as you know I live in a gluten free based household.
All of my cousins were allergy tested and the results showed that each one of them was allergic to gluten, soy, etc to different degrees.
So my aunt just cut it out of their diet.
What got me thinking, is how a dietary fad, like Gluten Free diets and being a better parent by converting your children to gluten free options ... can sometimes seem like such a hoax.
The daughter of the lady I had served in the restaurant mentioned " I think you either have it [ Celiac disease] or you don't, there's not really an in between."
Have people convinced themselves to have a reaction to the things they eat, just because an allergy test told them they should. Or are these really just new advances in technology, helping us become a more healthy population of people???
