Pamela's Gluten Free Bagels

I'm afraid I'll have to preface this entire bagel nosh extravaganza with an explanation. Maybe even a defensive monologue? At the very least I'll hit the 'publish post' button and scamper for cover, wading through my blanketed bed to nestle between the sheets where the condemnation has no hope of finding me. Because, frankly? I'm fucking busy. And my cash flow situation? Pretty stagnant. So what does this mean - besides lack of quality sleep and and a sorely suffering Spring wardrobe? It means I was in the delightful state of mind to concoct Gluten Free Dairy Free Bagels from Pamela's bread mix. Yeeeehaaaaa.

How to Navigate Gluten Free College Dining

 

It's difficult, writing with a little kitten snoozing on your shoulder.

UM. So this is the part where I pretend to think about it very seriously, weighing the options, considering the Pure Pantry cookie mix already in the cart. As if this decision is going to either make or break the week. But really, don't most of us need a little more Gluten Free Dairy Free ice cream in our life?

Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup

Before I moved to California I tried to comprehend how it would be even possible to be sick here. Arching blue skies, layered clouds stretching off into the distance, the constant ebb of the ocean, a fresh, smooth air billowing with life. No, no smog here in Santa Monica. But it happens, we have gray days, sometimes the outlines of far off buildings are smudged with haze, maybe even the heavy clouds will oblige us with some rain. And sometimes you get sick. But there's always Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup. Or vodka. either one.
