I'm a critic... of food.

I think my weekend was successful in the gluten-free arena. I was gone most of the weekend, and still managed to do ok. As far as I know. I didn't feel very good after supper on Friday- I think maybe because of contaminated brown sugar? I remembered later that I had put a piece of bread in the canister to soften it up awhile ago. Duh.

I guess every time I don't feel very well, I'm going to instantly over-evaluate everything I've eaten. Welcome to Celiac!

I have updates on some gluten-free products. If you don't care, that's fine, I just want to keep track of what to buy in the future... I think I need to invent a rating scale, stars are too boring... On a scale of one to five:

1= Cardboard. Or whatever equivalent non-edible substance it resembles.
2= Ugh. Maybe if we were stranded together on a desert island...
3= OK, borderline. Maybe if it's on sale?
4= Good. That's all.
5= Stellar. Now a pantry staple.

Gluten-free Pantry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix: 2- tasted alright, but texture was questionable. It was like eating an OK cookie, followed by having sand stuck in your teeth when you were done. They also were very very thin. They'll work in a pinch, but definitely not something I'd crave.

Glutino's Breakfast Bars: 1- Absolutely dreadful. Almost had a pumpkiny smell? Chewy, weird texture, but the real issue was the taste. Plus, I hate raisins, and both the crust and the filling had raisins ground up in them. Basically, I'm glad these came free with an order, I would feel really bad if money had been paid.
