quantum wellness day 2: good thing this ain't graded
OK, so it is really hard to find gluten-free stuff.  There is wheat flour in Zatarain's Red Beans and Rice, it's also in the Japanese Vermont Curry.  Our theory is that it's a thickening agent to keep the sauces from becoming runny.  *sigh* 

Also, J is totally right about needing a mid-afternoon snack ... that became abundantly clear after eating my sensible lunch of dolmates, refried beans, and Spanish rice.  Around 4, I was ready to chew through my arm.  Luckily I found a nut bar stashed in my office.  So it had a minute amount of cane juice ... the road to madness is paved with perfection. :P 

We did go to Earth Fare last night, and I have the makings of my own trail mix to get me through tomorrow's mid-afternoon snack attack.  Because none of the pre-made trail mixes were free of some sort of sugar or honey.  Oh! Oats!  G thinks oats contain gluten ... let's find out.  Oh.  People aren't really sure, but it's safest for people who have to avoid gluten to skip the oats. *sigh*  Some of that granola I saw yesterday looked tasty ...

And I lost 2 pounds.  G says there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that. *rolls eyes* :P  He also asked me if I'd established a baseline for my weight, and the answer is "No."
