Let the Great Gluten Experiment Begin!
February 22, 2009
Here we go, friends and family. I will be going off gluten for the next 3-6 weeks, starting tomorrow. This, of course, means no more eating at anyone else’s house, because how could I possibly expect other people to keep up with what I can and can not eat? I would be the most demanding dinner guest ever!
That sounds like a superpower no one would want. Behold! For Overly Demanding Dinner Guest is here. I would fly in and announce, “I’m hungry. Don’t you have any snacks besides crackers and cheese? No, veggies and dip won’t do either. Hummus is out. No chips, except if they’re processed in a facility that doesn’t process gluten, but none of the brands here will work for me. Well? Why don’t you run out and buy me something, hmmm? And what do you have for dessert, while you’re at it? I could go for baked apples.”
Perhaps Overly Demanding Dinner Guest could also be called Really Great at Killing your Party Woman — or Friendship Breaker Upper, but only if you invite me over too often.
This is what I would look like, now in line drawing for your coloring ease. Check out my hot boots:

Nope, that didn’t work either. It said FORBIDDEN in big letters that scared me. Just email it to me.

For the record- you are still welcome at my apartment anytime. You will just have to bring your own snacks. I will provide filtered water in plenty for you though!

Hey Hot boobs (you gave yourself that nickname),
So what does your diet include now that your gluten free? Can you eat meat? Fish? Bugs? So far from what you said, your diet includes apples and water. My magic 8 balls sees a deficiency in the future.

Meat, fish, and bugs are in, except bugs are gross and I wouldn’t eat them. Vegetables are in. Rice and oatmeal are okay if they’re processed in a facility that doesn’t process gluten. Beans are good. Just no bread, no pasta, no flour, and none of the other stuff that I normally can’t eat like aged cheeses, processed meats, etc. It’s weird that you’re calling me hot boobs, by the way.

[...] “Well, thanks, but since I’m allergic to gluten, it wouldn’t make sense for me to buy products that are possibly cross-contaminated. So no, thank you,” I explained. I don’t know why I felt the need to explain myself. It must have been some compulsive, Hermione-like trait. At least I didn’t launch into a description of the Great Gluten Experiment 2009. [...]
