Hmmm… you’ve given me the idea to work on both medialunas and bagels… I wonder if I can come up with a reasonable approach to either or both? Something fun to work on…. So will we see you on this visit to BA?

I wish I was in BA to take this class particularly for baking. I am dependent on Pamela’s flour I lug back from Whole Foods. I am wheat/gluten-free since over a year now. At first, it was hard to forget about things like bagels and baguettes but I think I have become more healthy in that I eat only from the source (veggies, protein, quinoa, nuts, etc.). I was amazed recently in the US all the “gluten free” stuff that is really just processed crap. G-free is only healthy if you deep six all the processed stuff. Now if you have a recipe for wheat-free medialunas, I will be knocking on your door when I get to BA this Saturday. Cheers!

Somehow or other I think that someone winning tennis tournaments “because of” a gluten free diet is an awfully big stretch, unless that person was gluten sensitive to begin with and was having physiological problems – which he was. Djokovik may eat a gluten free diet and is now in better health and therefore has removed something that was an impediment, but I think tennis training and practice are more likely the “cause”.

I’m salivating just looking at this class. And how about the news story that Djokovik is winning tennis tournaments because he’s on a g-f diet? I am so looking forward to our dinner on May 28! Sounds like you’ve done a yeomans duty getting to know the gf diet world, and it is grealy appreciated!
