My Toaster Is Better Than Their Toaster
I have my own toaster. It's way better than their toaster. When my toaster does push ups, the earth moves. My toaster can kill two stones with one bird. My toaster can beat up their toaster. With one burner tied behind it's back. My toaster makes crumbs that turn into yummy, golden doughnut holes. Maple glazed in fact.

As I wrote about recently, some of the big risks for us celiac and gluten intolerance sufferers are those blanket statements like "wine … [Read More...]
What’s for breakfast? Glutino English Muffins
Glutino English Muffins are one of my long term favorites. I always have some in the freezer. The only thing about them is that they don't really taste like English Muffins much at all. This brings up a great point, one probably worth an entire post, but I'll touch on it here. When I am eating some gluten free food product, people ask me "Does it taste like regular (fill in random food product here) ?" Usually the answer is "no" and I get the predictable sad looks of sympathy. That's … [Read More...]
