It was a wintry night outside, cozy inside, and time to use some ground meat from one of my favorite meat/seafood stores: it's local, it's small, it's friendly, and they make their own brätwurst! However -- and this is a big caveat -- it's very important to ensure that the ingredients are gluten free!

Now, back to our example. I am standing at the meat counter, and I've just learned that the yummy looking brätwurst is homemade. But, as there was no ingredient list to check, the nice guy at the counter called the butcher on a Saturday to ask whether the homemade brätwurst was gluten free.
It wasn't!
So, this time I didn't purchase the brätwurst. Usually, I trust Hempler's brand sausage and bacon, as everything I've ever seen from Hempler's is gluten free and labelled as such.

At the shop in question, I stuck to the beef: it's better than the beef at the regional "high end" grocery store!
Just today I spoke with a friend who told me about a special little store in another city where she buys her own meat.
In a subsequent blog post I will post a quick list of of a few small, local meat/seafood stores in the Seattle region. If you've patronized some you really like, feel free to send them on in the comment section!

1/s c corn or other chips, gluten free, lightly crumbled (I am partial to Whole Foods blue corn organic chips, $2.99 16 oz., or Food Should Taste Good Multigrain chips (they're hexagonal, check to ensure they're gf, they always have been to my knowledge)
