bitter magnet

i just biked to whole foods, since i needed a few things from there (i.e. decent fruit, salad dressings, and organic items). anyway, it was great since a lot of stuff was on sale (like my fave organic whole-milk yogurt) and strawberries. but the best part was that there was this new item there, *gluten-free chicken tenders!!* yep, they are "breaded" with rice flour, and on top of that they're shaped like little dinosaurs (never too old for some things, you know). :) anyways, i had to buy it, since i miss eating chicken mcnuggets... i didn't even know a wheat-free substitute existed!

dude, i'm so excited about all these gluten-free and wheat-free things they are coming out with. i think the best one must have been that gluten-free pizza that michael and i made a few weeks ago (we used dough made of rice-flour & tapioca starch, available in the "natural" frozen section at star market). i expected it to turn out slightly weird, but it turned out amazing--to be quite honest, i think it turned out better than most regular pizza i've eaten (and michael agreed)! also, the gluten-free pasta (made out of quinoa and corn, bought at whole foods) was really good too, excellent with organic gluten-free alfredo sauce i made. anyway, who says you can't live without wheat?? :)
