Man who sold fake gluten free products

Perth's Gluten Free Expo

Today I went to Perth's Gluten Free Expo at the Convention Centre. I learnt from last years mistake and took more cash this time, which was just as well as I brought lots :)

From Schar I brought: Pan Carne bread, Twinny snacks, Ciabattine bread, Pepitas Cookies and another item called Snack.

From Bodhisattva Bakery I brought: Lemon shortbread and a Choc Orange Jaffa biscuit.

From Confectionary Link I brought: Rocky Road, mud cake and junior mints

From Eskal I brought: a few varieties of pasta

I also brought 2 cook books @ $5 each :)

Carl brought some Cheeseballs and marshmallows, items he loved from last years expo.

I like the expo as you get to try the food before you buy it. There are also guest speakers and cooking demonstrations. I also like that you get contact details for stores and websites so that I can get the food after the expo moves on.

A good afternoon :)

Star & Garter Hotel Kalgoorlie

I was in Kalgoorlie for the weekend just gone visiting family and was taken to the Star & Garter Hotel for dinner. It was a standard looking Kalgoorlie Hotel, full of workmen relaxing after a long days work and of course there was a skimpy that wasn't too badly dressed considering what some of them wear (or not wear). Anyway the big surprise was the restaurant, it was simple but nice, the meals were big and reasonably priced. I had the surf and turf, the chef made me a garlic sauce without any flour and it scrumptious, such a lovely meal. A nice night out and I would recommend it to other people :)

Gluten Free Expo

Mark it your calendar peoples, the Gluten Free Expo will be at the Exhibition Centre Perth on March 12th and 13th. I'm very excited, Dr Shar's is listed as attending, I'm hoping that Kez's will be there too. This time I am going to take more money with me now that I know what to expect and that so much can be brought. It's going to be a good day :)

Spoilt by Claire

Yesterday Rae and I had a play date with Claire and Sox. While Rae was hiding from a friendly Sox, Claire made me an awesome lunch. She made marinated honey, soy and garlic chicken (GF Fountain's marinade) with a lovely salad. It was YUM!!! Claire inspired me to make my own so I brought marinade and a pre packaged salad today and now my chicken is currently marinating in the fridge. I can't wait to cook and eat it tomorrow night.

Thanks for introducing me to marinated chicken and such a scrumptios lunch Claire Bear xoxo

GF Chocolate Self Saucing Sponge Pudding

Today I made Basco's GF chocolate self saucing sponge pudding. It was SO nice. I am glad I am the only person that wanted any as now I have left overs for tomorrow :)

I love the Basco's brand, their cake's and cupcakes always turn out well. I hope they are represented at the Gluten Free Foods Expo in Perth next month., i'll be buying up big :)

GF foods in America

I have been in America for 3 days now and up until tonight I hadn't really found many GF foods. Tonight though I went to the hotel restaurant and had a steak with mushrooms and fries, then for desert I had a piece of flourless chocolate cake. It's nice to have these options, especially when traveling :)
