We are Tom and Kathy. When Kathy got the news that indeed she was a
celiac, she was just deflated. In a lot of ways, it meant that she would no longer have a life. She just knew that wherever she went to eat out, she would not get to eat anything but salad. And the totally nasty things that she found that was gluten free to bake and cook. In a lot of ways she was right. She went to a local Italian bistro, which had gluten free pizza on the menu. She ordered it, and was so sick. Come to find out, the kitchen help did use a dough that was gluten free, but they sprinkled wheat flour to keep it from sticking. She was so sick.
Her baking was something to be desired. This is about some things she tried, and how they worked, or didn't. And I am the wine drinker. I have some things to share about the wines that go with her things. If her things were good, then the wine pairing is to enhance the victory. If her things were questionable, the wine can make you forget it. And do you have any ideas.
How intriguing! Hopefully the food is getting better?
ReplyDeleteWe had some really horrible tries in the beginning with several things. One of our pages talks about it, and we still joke about the dumplings. They were just one glob of translucent nasty on the bottom of the pot. They just fell apart. We really like dumplings, however, since Kathy came from a German family, and used biscuits on top. Finally we just decided to do it right, and tried several things before getting what we have that has a great look, and the texture makes you want more. Let us know if you have tried something we can pass on.
ReplyDeleteKathy has a new gluten free apple pie bar that we will publish later this week.
