Random gluten-free bits

[nisaa]

I think I am now really too sensitive to eat soy sauce with wheat. I thought it wouldn't bother me that much but it did. Ugh. (ETA: I usually buy wheat-free soy sauce but I was at a Japanese restaurant and just used what they had.)

On the plus side, I had yummy gluten-free pizza with a fluffy crust at Willow Street in San Jose tonight.

svava told me about this gluten-free flour that she heard about while at Pennsic:

I'm wondering when/if people will understand "gf" is short for gluten-free. It's a lot easier on my thumbs while texting.

Also, thanks to lifecollage and rm for posting this link to a New York Times article on Celiac's Disease:

I'm sorry about the soy sauce. :-(
I use La Choy. Both the regular and low sodium are gluten free.


I have heard amazing things about better batter flour, but I have yet to try it myself. I want it because apparently you can make a decent phyllo dough and the thought of baklava fills me with squeey joy. But I have watched my grandma make phyllo dough and it's difficult normally. I'm a little intimidated. Ok..a lot.

If I ever make to SF like I would like I hope you can show me all the yummy gf places you have found!

The problem is, it's also short for "girlfriend." You could have a gf GF!

Saw the NYT article this morning and thought of you!

Interesting that in other countries, diet help is something prescribed! Wow.

I tend to think gf=girlfriend and GF=gluten-free.

Yeah, the San-J Tamari is what I choose for soy sauce. Kari-Out little soy packets, while full of everything but soy and stuff, does not have wheat, at least.

Trader Joe's has a new GF pancake and waffle mix that doesn't have any sugar in it. I have a bag of it in my pantry... when I make something (when I have time, ha ha ha), I'll let you know how it is.

I'll definitely wanna hear about your results with the better batter.
