Well, this officially marks the second day of having a gluten and dairy free diet. Surprisingly, it is kind of exciting to eat 'different' things. I never thought that gluten free pasta would actually taste nice -- thank you corn for your ability to be made into flour! But, it still does suck a lot not to be able to open the fridge and eat some cheese. Or the ability to munch on bread. Bye bye to my two favorite foods. I predict that cheese is going to be the more difficult one to replace. Vegan cheese just sounds ODD. Plus that would make me a betrayer towards cheese. I could never hurt its feelings. I am a cheese enthusiast after all -- maybe to a level of concern. I once read that Philadelphia had a rehab center for cheese addiction and always thought I would go there one day but having your body not allow you to eat it works too I guess. This is making me sound a little strange.
Anyways, the experience of no gluten and dairy is going pretty great so far. Consuming a lot of raw vegetables and rice crackers. Rice crackers are pretty much my new best friend. I had no idea how great of a snack they were. Yumm. Gluten free bread just tastes strange but in a weird way I kind of like it. It taste like salt with a bread texture. I am making it my first goal is to make some bomb gluten free bread. My second goal would be to find an effective source of calcium that I like. I am terrified of drinking milk. I don't think I have drunk milk since I was about 4 years old. I can't even get myself to eat cereal with milk because I just think it is THAT gross. It is kind of ironic because I love cheese that much. I have never tried any other milks -- soya, rice, almond -- so I am going to make it my goal to get myself to try these and like them. Yeah, definitely not ready yet to take on that challenge.
Well, this is enough rambling for one day. I will continue my adventures on this blog shortly and try to put up some recipes that I have tried out whether they taste good or bad.
Hasta la Vista!
