Avoiding wheat. And me a foodie. This whole thing came to a head shannon after the Cleveland trip. Up til then I was fooling around with the holistic idea. Had a free yoga type lesson with a teacher that sucked. Hate to bring it up because she was so clearly happy with her life-style, but she as a teacher. . .She had her eyes closed while she was 'instucting' us. She didn't even notice that Terry sat down after five minutes. Then I had a free acupuncture session. Oh, weee, why am I counting pennies for more of that stuff? If you have something hurting, get thee to an acupuncturist. After a road trip to Cleveland with Shannon and seeing a pulse-reading herbalist, I came home clutching a paper bag full of 'tea.'
Long story short, my taste buds opened into a world nearly as amazing as the black and white world. The unfortunate result was realizing that I could no longer drink a gallon of beer a day. I realized that wheat was making me sick. I was very easy with this idea for a good month or so, but the past couple of days I have been crying for baked goods. Two nights ago I went to Giant Eagle and bought me a box of Gluten Free Brownie mix. Terry and Gramma each had a small piece. The rest I devoured. |
