End of summer

Last night with my daughter - tomorrow morning at six she leaves for California, for her Junior year in college. How the time flies. Seems like just a couple of weeks ago she arrived home with big plans for the summer... now the summer is over, and she's off on yet another adventure. At least now I can really clean all the gluten containing foods out of the cupboards. She may or may not be home for an extended break over the holidays, but she has discovered that she really *can* eat corn pasta, and gluten free meatballs. I'm going to miss her terribly.

Apple Pie and an apology

Sorry I have been away for so long. Life gets in the way sometimes, and this time? It bit me in the behind big time. However, I have just received a sample from Katz Gluten Free and I'm in love. Apple pie that tastes like apple pie. Who'd have thought? They offer cherry and blueberry as well, and my mouth is watering waiting for my very favorite pie in the world (blueberry) to arrive! I have to miss this year's outing to Kennywood (near Pittsburgh) that we enjoyed so much last year. I'll be taking my daughter back to school at right around that time, and the trip down there is just not going to be possible. But if you have the chance, you should go... they have gluten free fries (and they taste great) and if you take your own cone, you can get the soft-serve and just sit back and enjoy. They also have a picnic area and encourage you to bring your own food and drinks. Can't think of anyplace more allergy friendly than that! I'll try to be around more, but I'm going to be moving sooner or later, so I have a boatload of packing to do. Ugh. I had hoped never to have to do that again.
