Girl friend… Grass fed… French Guiana… Go figure… Gluten free.

Yup. Not me, but is the new way of the kitchen.

I now have the challenge of trying to prepare meals with food sensitivites. I have food sensitivities, but my “deadly allergic” doesn’t equate to having North American staples make you feel ill all the time.

And so, tonight I made Gourmet Pizza from Grain-free Gourmet with almond flour, and it was without a doubt the meal that made me decide not to give up. Not to throw in the towel and say, “If you can’t eat what I’m making you’re going to have to make yourself a salad or something, forever.” It was delicious. No pictures were taken and I’m happy to repeat that meal. Over and over and over.

The book was gifted to me by my (former) boss on her last day. I was stoicly devestated to see her go. We became friends, and I honestly don’t think the gap that I’m going to feel when I go in on Monday and see her office empty can be filled. I am super happy for her, and the reasons she has for leaving cannot be argued against. I just really want to go too.

But alas, I am here, studying for a final on a Friday night.

I am taking July and August off from school and hope to have a little time to be creative.

When I’m not working.

Or cooking without (wheat) flour.

Sigh.
