#gluten free things

[icannotgetoverbirds]

help me escape homelessness and live with my lover!

If you can't help me with donations, reblogs are always appreciated!

Also I have hella bad waiting mode anxiety that is made better by knowing what to expect after what I'm waiting for happens, so if anybody wants to tell me how this process will go, I would greatly appreciate it.

Bonus points if you give me some ideas in the notes of mundane things to do with my wife!

it’s been a little over six months since i moved from my city apartment to a little country house i barely get internet out of. six months wherein: i adopted some cows (that are currently forming a coup against me) and taught myself to use a riding lawnmower (i still get scared to lower the blade). i planted vegetables (that were promptly destroyed by rabbits) and flowers (barely hanging on after an influx of gophers). i cut my hair short (so much easier to manage) and fielded my mother’s phone calls about how much she didn’t like said haircut (not-so-easy to manage). i narrowly avoided multiple late-night car accidents at the hands (hooves?) of the local deer population.

but most importantly (well, maybe not most, considering the gathering of firewood, the potential freezing of pipes, the million other things i’ve had a quick education in) is that out here, i can see the stars. maybe, if i tried, i could have seen them six months ago. thing is, i never bothered to look.

there’s no point to anything i’m saying. just that i’ve been thinking lately (because there’s not much else to do out here), and like it or not, this site is the only diary i’ve ever been able to keep. guess i didn’t want to let the occasion pass without an entry.

anyway, if anyone needs me i’ll be out here pretending to know the constellations (i don’t, and i never will). spring is here and i’m alive (i’m alive!).

restaurants should be obliged to include allergen menus on their websites and if they can't do that they should at least have an email address so you can contact them and be like "hey i have to come here for a work thing. is there a single item on your menu i can actually eat"

and yet

[shitfridge]

its not that deep but i really do hate seeing jokes making fun of "disgusting gluten free food" sorry my body is weak and cant handle certain ingredients god forbid you have to lay your eyes upon a weird looking cookie at the coffee shop

[swagging-back-to]

it should be a cut and dry case if you go to a restaurant and get glutened by them. and by case i mean criminal. not just suing for damages and distress.

Also if you want a modern rhaenicent au idea...rival PTA moms or Dance Moms if you're familiar with that show's structure at all.

okay i know this is the five fun facts prompt but i immediately cracked myself up with:

“alicent, please be serious. the WHOLE bake sale doesn’t need to be gluten free just because your eldest thinks he has celiac.”

“he DOES have celiac. i cannot believe how insensitive you’re being right now, rhaenyra!”

“he ate THREE burgers at my house and was FINE. we can have a gluten free PORTION.”

“why, exactly, are you feeding aegon burgers at your house?”

“christ, alicent, i WASN’T it was a team dinner they bought it themselves!”

—

i imagine instead of friends to enemies it’s enemies to lovers, meeting as moms with kids that don’t get along with starts them off at odds. alicent and her kids just moved from out of town, where she ran the pta there, but rhaenyra has been in charge of various ptas in this district since her kids were in elementary school, which causes some.... conflicts and differences of opinion.

but i think over time they’d start to realize they’re more alike than not and, importantly, more aligned than not.

i think rhaenyra’s husband (not laenor) left her for a man and alicent’s (not viserys) died, and they’re both starting at place of heartbreak and loneliness, and struggling with single motherhood, and they’re able to help each other a lot through it all.

—

i wrote the above on my lunch break and thought about this for the rest of my shift so have some more:

maybe if he's not her ex, laenor is rhaenyra's best friend. he has custody of the twins, after laena died he petitioned for it ("sorry rhaenyra, i know he's your uncle" "i love him but you're fine he's a shit dad <3") and goes to a grief group regularly, both for himself for the loss of his sister but also cuz he wants to teach the girls healthy coping mechanisms. one day alicent shows up at the start, and then doesn't even stick around for the intro, but it's enough for laenor to spot her, realize she's going through it(tm) and is probably not as much of a bitch as he and rhaenyra assumed. but he doesn't want to just Tell rhaenyra so he finds other ways to get them to talk to each other lol

(also it's important to me that rhaenyra gets along really well with helaena and that's one of the reasons alicent starts to trust her)

also @topthagomizer and i were also talking about what things are like after their household combines and how chaotic figuring out all of their kids extra curriculars are and the driving schedule which made me laugh thinking about how busy and overly involved all of them would be! and then also thinking about just.... how much of a relief it would be for both of them, not only to have each other but to lessen the burden on both their eldest kids and have slightly less things for them to do since there's another adult around now.

i am SO sure i am going to be thinking about this for ages now so let me know if you have any follow up questions

(and sorry i haven't seen dance moms but i was delighted by this one!)

Whole Foods’ psyllium husk—a product used primarily for gluten free baking—has a note saying it may contain wheat. Of course I didn’t read this until after I’d opened the bag. Because WHYYYYYYYYY???? wtf wtf wtf

And the xanthum gum has a gluten free stamp but is processed in a facility that processes wheat.

People with allergies and intolerances, I am so sorry. I really never understand even a little bit of how hard it is to stay safe.

Lee brought up his phone to Gaara’s face. “There is also a whole gluten-free bakery here by the way.”

Gaara almost dropped his fork. “A bakery?” He looked at the screen. “This is all... gluten-free?” he asked.

“Looks like it, yea,” Lee said. Reaching out to scroll through the pictures on the bakery’s Hawk. “See?”

Gaara did see. He definitely did. Fuck. It looked delicious. He instantly wished he could just go there right away and order like one of each of those- He swallowed the tsunami of saliva flooding his mouth and turned back to his bland food. “Looks nice,” he commented.

Inspired by my fic you must (fix your heart)

my quest for the best gluten free pizza is finished for now, my dad won first place and made a pizza so good and gluten-like i cried tears of joy; coincidentally the pizza was really similar to the last gluten pizza i ate last year which is a funny circle since back then i cried very sad tears and couldn’t imagine life without gluten and now it’s not all that bad

i love food, i love life

here’s the recipe: https://oliviaskitchen.com/detroit-style-pizza/

You don't try new food, you get laughed at

🤝 with marcie and someone from the gang that isn't velma? who do you think she would get along with best? 😊

i think she’d find common ground and connect with each of them in different ways, but i am BEGGING you to consider them as a duo!!!!!

was talking about food w my coworker and at one point i was like "oh i can't eat that" about something and got in response "oh good for you!" to which i had to explain no i am not dieting i just have celiac. and she kept trying to frame it as a good thing bc, i guess, it must protect me from eating Bad foods. and god. for crying out loud. a) hate hate hate that congratulating someone for not eating things is an acceptable line of conversation b) the idea that celiac is good actually bc "really shouldn't we all be eating fewer carbs" misses the point quite badly - celiac disease does not at all mean that you can't eat carbs or sweets, you just have to eat ones without gluten (which ironically! are often even more sugary and high-carb than the originals!) and also no, ffs, you don't need to eat fewer carbs! you do not! it's fine! c) it is rly fucking difficult to talk about food w people who assume that the less of it you eat the better when you are also trying to recover from disordered eating, like yea at one point i agreed w you! and i stopped eating carbs for a year! and it did me a lot of damage, thanks! d) i know she did not mean anything bad w all this, but rather genuinely meant it as a compliment that i would be choosing not to eat cake. and genuinely meant that celiac might be an advantage in getting a better grade in dieting or something. and somehow the good intentions make it worse and i fucking hate that we're so inured to how awful it is to think this way
