So I’ve done 3 of these before, and they were fun (for me, anyway) each time. I didn’t have any readers at all back then, though. Something about categorizing/tagging posts; I never had before; that came later. (And then, voila – traffic!) Funny part is, in Part 3, I made fun of myself for 2.5 … More Halos and Pitchforks, Round 4
When I was growing up, my mother passed down many unsolicited-but-now-wholeheartedly-appreciated “Pearls of Wisdom”. One of these was, “never assume. Look at how it is spelled; to ‘assume’ makes an ‘ass’ out of ‘u’ and out of ‘me’.” Like many such parental Pearls, this one stuck with me.

Welp, I made it (not that I have a choice…well, actually you always have a choice, but it the alternatives might not be conducive to prolonged life). Dinner at the 100%-gluten-free Little Aussie Cafe & Bakery was the understandable highlight of the fanfare surrounding this particular little event. The journey thus far has not been … More A year (and a day) in the life of a wheat germaphobe
I didn’t even cheat. Well, at least not intentionally. Look, I had no idea that GlutenFlam was not an outright get-out-of-jail-free card. I thought I was perfectly covered. Once I found out that I wasn’t, I never indulged again. I’m here to say that despite the fact that gluten-free is catching on in some of … More 6 months gluten-free
How pathetically ironic is it that someone born under the astrological sign whose logo is the depiction of a fair golden-haired maiden in tender guardianship of a basket brimming with freshly harvested wheat, has, after an entire life of peanut butter sandwiches, been relegated to the ranks of a population known as the “gluten-sensitive”? Somebody … More Separating the wheat from the shafted
