To Karen our Mayor, but all should read

I actually have to start cooking again. Fortunately, mom taught me how to cook from scratch.


As for stress, i know mine can be triggered by stress and the boss has been a real ass this year. The hives and rashes have been going on for three months so I knew it also had at least one biological component.

I will so miss bread.

My Mom was highly allergic to tomatoes. She had to be extremely careful because there's tomato in so many different foods. Mom's reactions were so extreme that she would have a reaction if she got the juice on her hand while slicing one. If Mom ate something with tomato, even a minimal amout of ketchup in a meatloaf, she would break out in hives internally. Scary.

Food alergies are very serious and can have devastating effects. After seeing Mom's problems with tomatoes, I understand this is something that MUST be taken seriously! To those of you with these allergies, please be very careful don't hesitate to ask what is in something you'd like to try.

You don't need to! At least around here, supermarkets - particularly if you have a Whole Foods - have gluten-free bread available!

I too cannot have wheat products. I've recently found some fabulous gluten free breads here. My fav is a cinammon/raisin bread. It's so to die for!!! And over Christmas my local "health food" store also had gluten free shortbread cookies. OMG they were soooooo good. Look around, hopefully you can find some big scores where you're at.

I don't know if you have a "Sprouts" where you live but they have a lot of gluten free products. I received a flyer from them yesterday and they're having a sale on all gluten free products this week. I think that Trader Joe's also carries many gluten free products so these days people with this problem now have many more options than they used to.
