Remember when I was gluten-free? Remember when I was making bread by hand, after hand-sprouting, dehydrating, and hand-grinding my own flower? Ha. No more. That is like, the opposite of now. Between a kitchen with actual counter space, and the price of bread, I have embraced the long-scorned bread machine. (Indeed, I briefly had two.) Now … More In my Kitchen: latter September (part 2)
The fact that I posted that last essay, that I was so obviously displeased with, instead of just deleting it, is evidence itself of how bad I am at letting my “mandalas” blow away. Oh well. I’m going to make it even worse. I’m about to show you lousy pictures of my food. During a down week … More In my Kitchen: latter September (part 1)
Since my last post about the gluten-free experiment, I have come to a point that I am no longer gluten-free, really at all. I had intentionally mainstreamed my diet, or at least been prepared to mostly mainstream it, so that on our epic trip to the Diocese of the Arctic, I could eat whatever was … More Mainstreamed: The End of the Gluten-Free Experiment

I had been gluten-free since January 1, with pretty … More Where I am on the Gluten Train (Short Answer: Sourdough)
For those of you who have been having trouble accessing the blog lately, I sincerely apologize. There are some weird problems going on, that neither me nor my husband has really had time to fix, and that our various service providers aren’t taking very seriously. I hope to get this sorted soon, but I don’t … More Sprouting Experiment the Second
Here I give you stage 1 of the Gluten Reintroduction Experiment. The Grand Plan: make a loaf of bread a week, and eat a slice or two a day. Start with the most allegedly easy-to-digest options, then work my way back to commercial whole wheat bread, seeing if symptoms recur at any point. (For me, it’s … More Sprouting Experiment the First
This is the third and final part in a short series about my gluten-free experiment. In part one I talked about the more existential side of things, and in part two I described the success I’ve had so far in going gluten-free. This third and final part will lay out my next steps. As I described … More Gluten Liberation Part 3: The Next Glutenous Experiment
