Tuesday, November 22, 2011  Thanksgiving Prep.  This will be our
second gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free Thanksgiving. I LOVE
Thanksgiving, but we just weren't feeling like cooking this
year. I also didn't feel like going over the mountains to my
dads, nor did I trust my mother-in-law to actually cook
according to our dietary restrictions (to her credit, I don't
really trust anyone to cook to our dietary restrictions). I have
two relatives with Celiac's and other family members who sort of
haphazardly eliminate things from their diet and don't
meticulously read labels (like my dad who served gluten free
spaghetti and regular ol' bakery bread the last time we were
over). Of course, that's their choice; they're adults and can
cheat (or not cheat) as much as their little heart desires.
Since Bubby can't choose for himself, I choose for him. And we
don't cheat.  Anyway, we went from planning no Thanksgiving to
having two Thanksgivings! Our small Wednesday dinner with my
sister turned in to a dinner for eight.
