Hot Day

I didn't watch the weather report so I don't know what the high was but my computer says it's 106 out there right now. I believe it!!! Next weekend my church and another in town are putting on a big 4th of July celebration, I hope we don't all have heat stroke. We had a choir rehearsal today and we'll have 2 more before the celebration itself. I really don't have any of the music memorized, need to try harder, do more than just move my lips.

I spoke too soon when I said that wheat doesn't bother me. It's bothering me. I was hoping that just cutting back on sugar would help but it's not enough. I was gluten free all day today and yesterday and I can tell the difference. Still need to cut out or at least cut back on the sugar, especially HFCS, dried fruit and chicory root. Actually the dried fruit and chicory root are things that I'll avoid altogether. I did some research on fructose malabsorption and learned that wheat should be cut back on because of something called fructan, that's what chicory root is too. I'm supposed to be able to eat barley and rye. I don't know about the rye (don't like it) but I can't tolerate barley, it doesn't agree with me at all. So back to the gluten free diet. Dh is not joining me this time. He'll eat some of the things I make if they taste good enough. I made a casserole with pasta made from quinoa, it tastes really good, he even liked it. I was going to make some cookies but I think I'll wait. I still have some pudding to eat. No HFCS in any of this.

I really need to do some housework but just can't get inspired. Maybe later.

Photo of the day, this is a photo taken last year of my Sweet William. It didn't do very well this year.
