Slightly off-topic here, but why aren't we all gluten-free? It's doable!

Thankfully I have a pretty good metabolism because at those times I make lists of foods that make me feel good -- and then proceed to work my way through the list. At these times I don't have the energy to make anything so I go to favorite restaurants or delis. The funny thing is that when I'm feeling up, I tend forget how much I love these certain things. I guess that's what makes them special though -- the fact that I don't have them all the time.Dagnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454543828633484309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1157510529238871442006-09-05T19:42:00.000-07:002006-09-05T19:42:00.000-07:00Glad you're feeling better.
