And the loss

Well, it had to happen sometime during the trip.  I haven't been as careful as I should have, and now I am paying the price.

But tell me - did I get glutened, or is it just the heavy spices?  I never used to vomit when I ate things that contained gluten.  But the past two times I have eaten at anything other than a "place your single order and we will serve you" place, I've not only had the dizziness, abdominal pain, and other ugly symptoms, I've thrown up.

Am I now so sensitive to the stuff that my stomach is purging it before it can even get to the small intestine?  Or am I just really unlucky and getting food poisoning twice within four months?

Indian food... for the win!

We have been staying with my daughter's roommate (who is an 80 year old retired architect) while getting things ready for her trip to Japan.  The first day she surprised us with a lovely chicken curry.  Yesterday we had delicious Indian fried bits (in a garbanzo bean batter) with tea, and tomorrow we are meeting at an Indian restaurant/market so I can get some of the flour after we've lunched.

YUMMY!!!

Road Trip

The San Francisco Bay Area is wonderful in many ways, not the least of which is the availability of decent gluten free food.

I'm hoping to sample as much of it as possible during my week here.  (The living on chicken salad and cheese sticks for the drive over here has lost some of its glamour, though.)
