I have a good friend who claims gluten intolerance (note: I also have a friend who is legitimately a ciliac sufferer. There is a world of difference.) She has gotten better about going out to dinner but at first I would excuse myself to the ladies room when she grilled the servers and the chef. But...... one night at my home we were having a pot luck dinner. There was clearly not enough food on the table (what were these people thinking?!) So I quickly made some cornbread and nachos to go with the pot of chili that had been brought. I figured she knew enough to know that cornbread also contained flour and that I didn't need to specifically tell her so. She, however, is not from the South and how no idea how you make cornbread and assumed it was all corn. I saw her eating cornbread and quickly said, "Oh, so sorry but that contains flour". She responded that it was fine because it was "corn bread". I explained that it also had wheat flour and she kept insisting I was wrong that it was corn. I just shook my head and went on to quell some other disaster. She ate most of the pan of cornbread and suffered no ill effects (I checked the next day). So much for gluten intolerance.jaykaymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01001248001501391670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760668484511698353.post-85826813030128766922015-05-01T12:11:25.005-04:002015-05-01T12:11:25.005-04:00It's kind of an interesting exercise to cook f...It's kind of an interesting exercise to cook for friends with dietary restrictions. I was able to feed a woman who ate no gluten or dairy. It was not very pleasant to go out to dinner with her, though, as she always carefully asked if there was any gluten or dairy in the food. I had a feeling there was, anyway, but it did not seem to affect her!Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297404386730167834noreply@blogger.com
