There's a Whole Foods in West Hartford that has a good variety of gluten-free items, so that might be nice to pick up some snacks. Also, I just discovered this store: Open Original Shared Link but I haven't been there yet! I'm going to go this weekend, I'll try to remember to post and let you know how it is. -Em

Gluten-free peanut butter cookies, and the lime popsicles. Mmmmmmmmm. The brown rice pasta is great, very much like Tinkyada. They also usually have good tea, and I love their juices. -Emily

I haven't been in about a year, but I found that I had to ask them to change gloves etc. to prevent cross contamination, depending on who was making my sandwich. They said, "oh, you're *that* sensitive, even just a crumb?". So while the sandwiches are great, I have to suggest being very careful in how you order. Maybe they've changed in the last year...

Well...honestly, it didn't. This was about half an hour of lap swimming, though, so maybe for a more casual splash it might hold up better? But there was definitely nothing left afterwards. -Em

...how about for putting on makeup before going swimming? Not that I've done that....hehe. The MTN is pretty versatile. I'm pretty pale as well- Sandy Fair or Olive fair might be my best shade- but MTN works on me too. I've been surprised at what a range of foundation colors look OK. The hard part is figuring out which one looks best! The...

Hot of the Press was awesome. They don't have anything about "gluten free" posted on the menu as far as I noticed, but if you ask they're happy to make any of the sandwiches gluten-free. They carry a couple of the food-for-life breads and Jillian's rolls and...I think something else.... They don't actually press the gluten-free sandwiches- too much risk...

Ooh, how was the lip scrub? It's in my current order but that won't get here until Wednesday or so I got: Lip Colors: Gentle Lip Scrub Makeup Brushes & Accessories: Mixing Bowls Blushes & Face Colors: Nick Nack 2.5g Skin & Body: Cosmetic Wet Wipes 80 Wipes Lip Colors: Copper Lip Color lip color size Lip Colors: Plum...

Oh awesome! I just moved up to Somerville this fall, and now I'm close to Oxford Spa, Hot Off the Press, *and* gluten free cupcakes? So nice. -Em

I tried it out today, and OMG my skin looked so good! Up close you could really see that I was wearing makeup, though. I tried applying eyeliner wet too, and I really liked that. It's much easier and less powder winds up on my cheeks that way. I....I did order today. I just couldn't wait any more. Now there's gonna be a special tomorrow...

Ah me too! I can't believe there isn't a new special. I've had a cart full since the 22nd just waiting! I went and looked at a bunch of other mineral makeup companies....but.....they're just not the same. The sites aren't as easy to navigate, and the color descriptions for the foundation just aren't as good. A few of them have only 3 or 4 foundation colors...

The first doctor I saw about my celiac symptoms: "Maybe you just need a hamburger" (I was vegetarian at the time), "IgA Ttg is the only blood test for celiac", and after I told him that it *wasn't* and told him exactly which tests he should have ran, he handed me a computer printout and told me to "go do your homework and you can call if there's something...

Wow, this cult is so welcoming! How nice One of my favorites that I haven't seem mentioned here is the Morocco eyeshadow used as a liner with some of the brown shades. I love hot chocolate/countryside/morocco I also really like the cypress eyeshadow as a liner, but I haven't found really good highlighter/lid shades to go with it. I think I've just...

I've been a lurking cult member but decided to speak up. You all got me hooked back around page 10- and I never ever wore makeup before! This is crazy but so much fun. I'm going so crazy over the no-new-special thing! I have a cart full of stuff just *waiting*. My favorite thing has definitely been playing with the eyeshadows- I got the mini eyeshadow...

I should've know college chemistry wouldn't actually apply to the real world. You're absolutely right. I looked at some of the links you sent, and it looks like it does nearly always derive from wheat, at least in human food products- it's a wheat gluten hydrolysate. Supposedly it can be made gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link There is corn gluten...

Glutamine is one of the amino acids (building blocks of proteins- see Open Original Shared Link and isn't actually related to gluten, even though they sound similar. "peptide bonded" is also a bit of a confusing phrase. A "peptide bond" is the way 2 amino acids stick together. So peptide bonded glutamine just means "we added extra glutamine, and it's attached...
