If you live in Southern California, or plan to visit, and you haven't been to The Sensitive Baker [www.thesensitivebaker.com]** Get your little tush in gear and get to Culver City for some DELISH breads, cupcakes, cookies, etc. The ONLY entirely gluten/casien-free bakery in SoCal. We have to make sure it stays open and in business!!!!

Seriously, they made my fourth of july happy. Hamburger WITH a bun. A really really tasty bun.

Also, I got the suggestion on my last entry to try Bombay Bite in Westwood Village. It's Indian cuisine and they list what is gluten-free. Most of the menu is GF in fact. It was pretty good too. I think it could've used a little bit more spice, more curry or something, but knowing I was eating safely was a big plus. They do give you flat bread, but it's in another basket and you can just push it aside or ask for them to not give it to you.

I made gf pancakes in my (new) house, and I was disappointed. I made them like my dad told me. Buttermilk. Buttermilk is the key. At least that's what he told me. Anyhow I had batter left over, and next time I made them I added vanilla and more honey to the mix. I was able to make two more batches out of it, and the VERY LAST pancake turned out perfect and delicious. whyyyy?!?

















oh, how lovely. When I went to check the brand of the mix i noticed the Best if Used By date: 16 Aug 2006.

I wonder if that has something to do with it...
