GLUTTONED, NOT GLUTENED
I made a glutton out of myself yesterday at a celiac conference (for those who cannot eat gluten --wheat, barley, rye, or oats). A group of Pittsburgh doctors who specialize in gastroenterology hosted some lectures and then we visited 22 gluten-free vendors who behaved like barkers at a circus: “COME! EAT, EAT! TAKE MORE! TRY THEM ALL!”
It was exceedingly fun. I came home with tons of goodies, including some bagels that are “to die for.”
Heard while I was eating a brownie: “This is like trick-or-treating for celiacs!”
Heard while eating a doughnut: “I can’t believe I’m walking around drinking gluten-free beer!”
LOL, I'm glad you had a good time. :)
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to think cyberspace is a small place. I read at one of Miss Language's friend's Mom's blogs (got that?) about a very similar experience. I just felt the need to share. :) http://sinksmummy.blogspot.com/2009/05/food-glorious-food.html
ReplyDeleteI empathise completely. I went to a gluten-free show last Saturday week and had a ball. I bought some pizza bases that tasted like real wheat pizza bases, but without the tummy ache afterwards. I'm definitely going again next year.
