I'm on my third week of gluten-free. Does this make a person tired? I m so tired in the mronings I can barely function. I am literally falling asleep at my desk. this does not seem good.
Also, it's been a little harder than I thought it would be. I mean, those headaches were AWFUL. Why would I want them again? But Monday night when we went to dinner with Jason's parents, Seth's cornbread looked really good. I had a nibble. Okay, probably about a tablespoon. And on Sunday night, we were kid-less so Jason treated me to Melting Pot (happy hour discounts and a gift card) and it was super hard to not eat one of the marshmallows. There are two coated in graham crackers and two coated in oreo. I ate half of one coated in oreo. This is hard!
I'm glad to say that yesterday I tried a new restaurant here in Austin called Blue Dahlia (new to me, not to Austin). It's over on E 11th. They advertise on their menu that they have gluten-free bread. So I got an open-faced sandwich (a tartine) with goat cheese, olive tapenade, and red peppers, on gluten-free bread. The bread was not crunchy and chewy like it probably would have been had I not gotten the gluten-free option (damn, it's going to be hard to go the rest of my life with no yummy bread!), but it also wasn't dense and hard like I expect from gluten-free bread. It was actually light and crumbly. Not bad! The tartine was delicious.
My plans continue to formulate for when I go back on gluten to confirm the sensitivity. Chocolate cake, corn bread, tempura shrimp, cinnamon rolls - what else should I have?
