Gluten Free Breeze (formerly Brendygirl) Blog

Made my first gallavant to the GIANT liquor Mart in the small town my mom lives in. I joyfully discovered the New Grist in the back and paid for it while the 'rents shopped for cheapo wine for the New Year. As I stood waiting, a woman with a MULLET approaches me and gabs on and on about the coupon she just got to get a rebate on the giant bottle of the hard liquor the she just bought. And I just stared. At the mullet. And wondered how I could stealthily take a photo of it with my cell phone.

And then I saw the lady with her hair in a banana clip. The hair was deftly sprayed so as to maximize the effect and assure equal amounts of hair cascading over each side of the clip, without eclipsing the actual clip. Amazing. These ladies were definitely advertising their generation on those hairdos. Totally 80s. Rock on.

The beer was great, by the way. Since it's been so long since I've had the real stuff, it tastes the same as I remember the real stuff did.

Pudding story

Well, I was reading the celiac boards about traveling by plane and eating on the plane. Some people said they bring pudding, so I decided to bring some, especially since they come in small containers. Everyone on the boards said they'd traveled with no problems, even if they'd gotten their carryon randomly checked.

OF COURSE, my carryon goes through the x-ray machine and OF COURSE they see the pudding and OF COURSE the security woman makes me open my bag and OF COURSE she says no pudding. So, I explain my needs and she asks for my bracelet (like people wear for allergies) and I explain that it's not an anaphylactic allergy, that it makes me ill and slowly erodes my intestines. So, she calls the supervisor, who is a male and says let her have it. And she says, he never says that. And away I go with my chocolate pudding that I never even ate on the plane anyway.
