Pot Luck Gluten

Our friends at church had a pot luck supper/graduation celebration for my son after church, at a park, tonight. When I got in line to get something to eat, I helped myself to some tortilla chips that I brought, then I stood there looking at a sea of sandwiches. :o

Seriously, sandwiches as far as the eye could see.

 

So, as I inched forward in the line looking for the food that I brought that I knew I could eat, I spied one lone deviled egg and snared that one for myself. So I ended up eating the egg which someone else had brought, and the rest was food that I brought - black bean salsa, cheese straws, and oatmeal/choc. chip cookies. Oh yeah, and my yummy sangria punch. B)

 

My poor son, the graduate, was in the same position as me because he has celiac disease also. I think he just ate chips and cookies.

It must be so hard to navigate all the events that children have when you and your child have celiac. I'm the only one in my family to have it, but I have two sons and they are very active. I went to a HS baseball 'banquet' this weekend, which turned out to be a dessert potluck. The tables were filled with cakes, cookies, brownies. There was one plate of chocolate covered strawberries. I ended up eating two of those and couldn't eat anything else. I didn't bring any of my own food, which I should have taken the time to do. It was good that I wasn't that hungry to begin with.
Church and school events seem to be the hardest.

Little c, it has been harder for my son than it has for me. Kid's like to have pizza parties and parents like to provide all kinds of cookies and cakes for them at parties, so my son has had to learn how to resist all those things while all of his friends at enjoying the food. I can usually find something to eat at parties and my friends are usually very good at attempting to provide gluten-free foods at pot lucks. But last night's pot luck was unusual in that so many people brought sandwiches. <_<
