the waffles were delish.
and.
gluten free.
will wonders never cease.
by far my favorite GF discovery to date is
Pamela's baking and pancake mix.
ridiculously good.
I've been trying this little GF experiment since May...
with some cheats along the way...
(like in Racine. Hello pizza, fried cheese curds and kringle...soooo naughty)
but overall I feel much better eating this way.
and now that I've found a good pasta (Tinkyada), and a baking mix things are looking up.
lets just say I'm quite glad we don't eat a lot of processed foods...
makes it much easier.

Funny story-
A bunch of guys my husband works with are doing this master cleanse.
essentially you drink a water, lemon, maple syrup,
and cayenne pepper concoction.
for like 10 days.
without eating.
they have been trying to convince Colin to do it, and emailed him the directions.
(Colin for the record said, hello? no food...are you crazy nuts?!?)
I read it, and noticed that you needed to use "grade B" maple syrup.
We use real maple syrup, but I never realized it was graded...
so I checked and sure enough ours is "grade A".
(ours is just a little bit smarter I guess)
So, Jared and I were at the grocery store....
on a very busy Saturday...
we passed the syrup,
and out of curiosity, I checked for grade B...

Jared "What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for grade B syrup"
"Why?"
"It's for a cleanse"
he then says in his SUPER loud teenage voice.
"YOU ARE GOING TO SHOWER IN MAPLE SYRUP?!?!"

i
could
have
died.

that's all I've got on this rainy wednesday.
i suggest you go make some waffles with blueberry sauce.
just don't get confused and start showering with the syrup.

too funny about the syrup!
my bil does a cleanse/fast where he just drinks juices and no food for 10 days or longer. it'show he maintains weight and comes closer to God . I can't imagine it bringing me closer to God, I think I would be insane without food LOL!

Did you say NC? Is that a hint? Hope so. Lora would to laugh at your son embarrassing you like that (because it never happens to her of course)
