As I mentioned in the gluten-free pasta post, I gave up gluten over 6 1/2 years ago. This was right before “gluten-free” became a buzzword, or a trendy diet craze. A few years earlier I met a friend with Celiac disease, and I remember saying something along the lines of “I would rather die than live without bread and pasta.” Ohhhh sweet silly young Janine. You were so wrong.
