Tamales

A while back my mum bought some tamales at a fundraiser at work. They had been placed in the freezer and forgotten about until a few weeks ago. My mum asked the "tamale maker" about the ingredients and we determined that they were "gluten free". I tested out one, and had no ill effects, so I am convinced of their gluten free status. I've eaten almost all of them and so now I will have to learn to make my own (as the tamale maker has moved on). I found this website that seems to have a recipe that most resembles the ones I've been eating. I'm going to see if I can cook some up on my day off!!!!

Gluten Free Ramen?

Okay, here's another Gluten free review from me. While in college (and before and after to be quite honest) I lived on Ramen. Since I was diagnosed, I've been trying to find a gluten free version. And while I have yet to find something exactly the same, I have found a pretty good substitute (hopefully, in time, I'll prefer it to the real thing).

There are a few different flavors. None of them are "bad" but I do prefer some more than others. So far my favorite has been Bangkok Curry. It's spicy and it reminds me of my favorite ramen flavor, lime chili shrimp ^..^

Forays in Gluten Free Baking

My grandmother gave me a couple boxes of the "Gluten Free Pantry Brownie Mix" for Christmas. I was trying to find a picture of it online, but it came from Walmart, so the box is a little different from the one they sell in health food stores.

Anyway, the brownies were amazing. Even better, I'd venture, than the gluten-full versions. Next time I bake up a bunch, I'll add a picture.

Worldfest

I headed up to Worldfest in Branson at Silver Dollar City last weekend with Ashley. It was cold and rainy for most of the day, but it cleared up in the afternoon, just in time for us to ride a few rides before we left. We went to the Chinese Acrobat show and the Irish Dance show. The Chinese acrobat show was amazing, the Irish Dance show was so so, but I did get some new ideas on how to wear my wig ^..^
