before that we ate lunch at another of my favorite spots: Barstow's!
the amazing gluten free moment came when i placed my order for a chicken salad sandwich, and asked the girl to "hold the bread please!" she looked at me kind of funny, and then i explained that i had brought my own gluten bread!! (yes, i'm now that girl. who carries gluten free bread in a sandwich baggy in her purse. hahahaha and damn proud of it.) after confirming with another girl what the best course of action would be... my mom and i were served two scoops of chicken salad and a plate of sandwich "toppings".
i have never been so satisfied with a meal or with myself. the chicken salad was awesome!! and as for myself... i was super pumped that i thought ahead and didn't allow myself to be sucked in by the "regular" fluffy white bread that would have only caused me tummy trouble and a headache.
the other AMAZING part about Barstow's is that they make gluten free cookies!! they usually have peanut butter, and coconut macaroons. this time i took home some coconut macaroons. :)
unless you are gluten free, or are in a similar situation, it is really hard to understand how meaningful a small gesture (like "holding the bread") can mean to someone. thank you Barstow's!!
have a happy gluten free day!! :)
