Monday February 28 was the happiest day in foodie history since I’ve been here in Paris. I was having a normal day of class when I decided to go grocery shopping with Jessi afterwards. We went to this bio-coop and it was the Mecca of gluten free products. Seriously. I haven’t seen this much gluten free stuff in one sitting since I’ve arrived here. I splurged a little and bought chocolate cereal, crackers, pizza crusts, gluten free nutella, chocolate chip cookies, baguette and gluten free pain au chocolate. All are great. It is just such a relief to finally have real food to eat. I mean, I love rice and lentils and gluten free pasta, but I was craving something more bready. Two weeks of basically getting any form of bread from rice cakes starts to wear on your nerves. I love rice cakes, I just can’t stand eating 7 of them a day! 
My Spread
One more thing I discovered is that polenta is cheap and versatile. I know my dad said it was, but I now believe him. And I’ve been eating it as my oatmeal for breakfast, pouring in soymilk, lots of cinnamon, honey and whatever else I have on hand. I might try to make some savory soon. But it’ s filling and doesn’t make me feel sick like the Quaker Oats do.
So now I basically have more food than I know what to do with, but rest assured, it will all be eaten up!
