I’m drinking the day and eating the pizza.

Because I am having a bit of a carpe diem moment this week.  My doctor ordered me to eat gluten to prepare for a test.

So, for the last week, I’ve been busy with some serious cramming.

And it’s been a dizzying sort of delish, the kind that begins with pizza and well, will probably end with pizza.  Because you can’t have a serious study session without pizza.

Gluten-free pizza cannot compete with this crust.

 

After more than a year of eating gluten-free, I’m having quite the food reunion.

Meet the star of Thanksgiving 2010.

My old friend, stuffing.

 

And her distant, but sweet cousin pie showed up too.

 

I was so touched when my Pinterest food boards made an appearance at the reunion.  After all, I haven’t known them that long.   It was comforting to see them get along so well with my dear friend the bakery case.

 

The bakery case, shimmering like a mirage. 

 

In the corner (of the freezer) I found the last cupcake from my daughter’s birthday last month.  What a treat!

 

Cupcake with a cookie dough center.

 

I met delightful strangers . . .

 

Pumpkin whoopie pie 

And pals that always got me in trouble when we hung out. . .

Frosting with a little scone.

 

And no get together would be complete without a few partypoopers. They always show up, right?

 

Don’t worry, I ate ’em.

 

My closest friend, warm crusty bread was there.  I can’t seem to find any photographs, though.  Couldn’t stay still long enough, I suppose.

But believe me, we had plenty of face time.

Good thing, because my gluten party is almost over.  Will you pass me a napkin?  I’ve got a date with exercise.

Just as soon as I emerge from my carb coma.

 

What food is the star at your party?  

Tell me in the comments! I have three more gluten days to go and I might’ve missed something (it’s possible). 🙂
