Hello 2012,
I was very pumped up and excited to greet you but I believe 2011 felt a bit sad and left behind and gave me a cold on the eve of your arrival and sadly I nearly slept all of your first day. I was wiggling with anticipation and excitement last week thinking about blogging, and what the post would be and what delicious creation I would make because of it. Alas my cold has sapped all energy from me and I've been eating Gluten-free toast or rice with a bit of butter for the past two days but as a result I am now determined to make Gluten-free chicken in a biscuit crackers this week as I have been craving the regular ones. I think there are three circumstances when it is really hard for me to not indulge in eating gluten. The first is when I am starving, I haven't had anything to eat for hours and there is nothing safe (gluten-free) around for me to eat. Second is family holidays. My family is pretty good on at least trying to make things gluten-free and safe for us with gluten intolerance to eat. My boyfriends family, not so much, this past thanksgiving I tried eating at his dads, It was a landmine of temptations and even with staying away from most of the questionable items Gluten found its way onto my plate and made that night and the next day not the greatest. And third, is when I'm sick. As a child, whenever I was sick my father would make me tea and toast and we would watch movies all day. Among the things he would make/bring me to eat was chicken in a biscuit crackers, chicken noodle soup, top ramen, rice with butter, and 7-up. Now that I'm older these things still comfort me when I don't feel well. I've found substitutions or Gluten free versions of most everything, honestly i'm sure there's chicken flavored crackers at my Gluten-free store but I've never needed to look till now and the store is clear on the other side of town and I refuse to get out of my PJ's and go to look. If I'm feeling up to it tonight I just might have to mix a few things together and try and make my chicken in a biscuit crackers.
2012 I think you and I are going to get along famously this year.....
