On Saturday, October 1st, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Dallas and attend a GF Expo and Convention sponsored by the great magazine "Living Without" (which I suggest you read if you have any kind of food intolerance). I would say there were about 200 vendors that attended. As I anxiously stood in line waiting to hand the desk attendant my ticket, I was thinking of how I will be surrounded by people just like me. For a few hours, I would no longer be the oddball and I won't have to say no to anyone asking if I would like to try the food sample that I normally would have to turn down. As I slowly, but anxiously walk through the convention hall, there are doctors, authors, chefs available to talk to and ask questions. I would say that the best part of the expo was the free samples, shown in the picture to the left. Wow! I was overwhelmed by what I brought home. I also found some great new products, such as, (hold on to your seats, fellow gf friends) gluten free country style gravy. You know, the wonderful cream gravy that you would use to smother on biscuits or chicken fried steak. Yes, I know. I fell in love all over again. I purchased a few packets after taste testing the product and I am going to savor in some gf biscuits and gravy this weekend for breakfast. My life is just a little more complete. (By the way, the GF Bisquick is amazing!)
