Yesterday was such a mixed day in my gluten free life. Since I have moved back to Victoria I have been ordering my Schar products on-line from Werribee and have just been buying the foods that are sold in Coles and Woollies.
The High:
I went to Fairley's IGA (http://www.fairleys.com.au/index.html) as some of the girls at work had told me that they sell a lot of GF foods their and OMG they were right!!! They have Schar products, as well as the Irresistible lolly range that I like, Byron Bay Triple Choc Cookies, the standard frozen stuff, as well as so many more pre-packed foods PLUS they have already made GF products in the bakery section!!! They had apple pie, apricot pie, lamingtons, swiss roll, chicken and beef pies, rum balls, cakes OMG I was in heaven!!! I can't believe I have never been to this store before. If you are ever looking for me, try this store first before anything else, I think I am going to move in!!!
The Low:
I went for dinner last night at the Shepparton RSL and had the Chicken Avocado after the lady at the register checked with the chef asking if the sauce had flour in it. She said that it didn't so I ordered my meal and got a receipt, the receipt even had the words 'Gluten Free' written on it. Once the meal arrived I ate it and it tasted quite nice. Not too long after I had a reaction to it had to frequent the toilets their quite a few times. In the end Mum and Lionel were waiting at the front door for me as they were wanting to go home so we made the dash home hoping that the urge to go to the toilet didn't it (which it didn't thankfully), once home I had to sit on the porcelain bowl for a little while longer till it was all out of my system. What a sucky end to such an exciting GF related day :(
