Right now we're watching Anderson Cooper interview a certain "Lady G." on "60 Minutes." I must admit that I find the everyday concerns that bedevil most of us to be far more worthy of journalists' time than musings of a 24-year old about how she manages worldwide fame.
For instance, how should a gluten free eater handle the situation when they arrive at a potluck or meeting and find nothing they can eat? There may be two plates of chocolate chip cookies and a tray of those omnipresent wraps: the flour tortillas cut in strips with the cheese, turkey, lettuce and tomato wrapped around the inside. Trouble is, it's well nigh impossible to get to the cheese, turkey, lettuce or tomato without encountering the flour tortilla.
Or, a potluck might feature rolls, scalloped potatoes made from a mix (which probably contains gluten), spaghetti and meatballs; and, of course, cookies.
We'd love to find out how a gluten free eater handles the situation. More to the point: has anyone ever said something, to the powers that be, that maybe the refreshments could include something gluten free?
