Finely ground
13/2/10 11:25I'm on a new adventure. The oft-repeated advice from any number of healthcare practitioners to consider giving up wheat finally sank in. I think it was a comment from
lamentables about whether my fabulous and delicious Elvis Cake could be recreated in a gluten-free version that tipped the balance.
"Gluten-free," like "no wheat", has always evoked for me such a dismal and joyless foodscape that I've tried for years to pretend that wheat is just fine and not a problem for me, when it seems clearly to be. I don't meet the symptom profile for celiac disease, or even for wheat intolerance, and yet, being wheat-free for the past week or so has left me feeling so much better that I might as well just keep doing it.
( But to face an indefinite wheat-free future, I will need pound cake. )
