Gluten-free Food Humor

Hilarious and the funny thing is...it's true.

so how about this story:

a few weeks ago it was my bday and i threw a party at a bar. Well, my fav drink is ketel one on the rocks- and it never makes me sick so thats continued on my gluten-free diet. so i order one at my bday party, take a sip and it tastes AWFUL. But i had seen him pour it so i knew it was ketel one. Stupidly, i drank it anyway (mostly b/c it took forever to get a drink in the first place). so i then move on to another vodka and think nothing of it. The next morning, i have a massive hangover (i drank a LOT) and then all of the sudden, i get that kind of sick that is not a hangover...and realize ive been glutened! i cant figure out what it could be- gum? the restaurant i ate at (cross contamination?) none seemed likely so i just chalked it up to an unidentifiable mistake...until yesterday.

My roommate calls me yesterday to tell me about an article in the Post called "Botched Booze"-- all about how ketel one has recalled some of its bottles b/c there was a problem- namely, that there was an "unusually high wheat content" causing some of the wheat to remain in the product and giving the vodka a strange wheaty flavor! since then, 3 of my friends have called to tell me about the article b/c if there are two things they associate me with, they are gluten and vodka! (should i be proud of that). Sure was funny though, not only have i figured out why it tasted so bad, but also why i got sick-- mystery solved!

Yikes- that's awful! I love vodka too (I was once known as the Cosmo queen) but my cosmo days are on hold right now. Oh great sadness....
