Sorry it has been so long.  Just hasn't been much going on here - at least on the gluten-free front.

I made it safely back from the left coast, gfree all the way.  I'm going to be eternally grateful for the vendors at the Pittsburgh version of the Celiac Awareness Tour... I wound up eating the instant mac and cheese that I got there several times during the trip.  And I got a great deal on the case by purchasing it at the end of the day.  There's a tip for you... buy your things at the end of the session... the vendors don't really want to cart it home with them, so you can get some good deals.

Once again my life has changed, and I'm looking for some advice.  You see, I'm moving into a roommate situation to save money (my daughter's in college, what can I say?) and it will be a good thing for everyone concerned, except... they aren't gluten free.  Now, they always go out of their way to make sure I can eat when I'm with them, but the kitchen is full of breads, rolls, gravies, etc.  And no, there isn't going to be space for me to have my own area of the countertop.  I will have my own freezer and shelf space for gluten free items, but we will be eating out of the same pantry for most other things (veggies, etc.)

So... what to do?  I'm committed to making this work - at least until my daughter graduates (another year and a half) but I don't want to be sick all or even part of the time if it can be helped.  I will have access to a microwave and the stove (but not my own cookware) and I have a completely gluten free toaster.

Help?  Suggestions are not only welcome, they are really needed.
