Gluten-Free

This post will be about our new Gluten-free diet. What? You've already 'got' that! How? Oh right, the title. As some of you know, I haven't been real 'big' on this gluten-free stuff. I've bought some cuz Breezy INSISTED she was in-tolerant. Yeah right, whatever! Well FINALLY, I studied up on it. Oh my goodness, it was scary how many symptoms she has. Anyway, this week we got SERIOUS about it. It is a major diet change. [to say the very least!] I have just tons and tons to learn. Last nights 'gluten-free' banana bread is 'worm food' [yeah, had to throw it out, even the dog wouldn't eat it!] However, I did much better with tonight's Pizza. You read it right, we had Pizza. Who'd of thought you could make 'passable' Pizza dough out of brown rice flour? I figure, all told, [I had to go to the health food store for some of the ingredients] that Pizza cost me a measly 50 dollars. You can just bet we'll be eating Pizza again. I have to get my money's worth out of the special 'expensive' ingredients. I'm feeling pretty good about the diet change so far. One thing I've noticed is that my desire for carbs. is greatly diminished . I wonder why?

Dennis is so very supportive of our diet. He showed his support today by giving me money to go to Costco. Nice huh??? NOT! He wanted me to buy tomato plants [which I did] so I could plant, weed and water them. So HE could have fresh tomatoes this summer. I may just BUY his tomatoes, and keep ALL the fresh, garden grown ones, for MYSELF. It would serve him right. YES, he does know about my addiction to 'garden grown' tomatoes.

My little 'Irish' granddaughters [or at least, their pictures] are sporting an 'Irish' colored Boa. It looks so cute hanging over their pictures. St. Partick's day got to be ALOT more fun after I learned of the kids Irish hertitage. Breezy thinks her 'Irish Catholic' hertitage is WAY cool!
