Cinco de julio!!
Happy freedom day for Americans!
Yesterday was a wonderful lazy day for me. I’ve been cleaning and rearranging my house while my lovely sister is out of town, and yesterday I did nothing.
I read a book, dozed, and watched some Master Chef then went to a friends house for a BBQ. It was a grand time. My contribution was assigned as bringing coke. (because I LOVE COCA-COLA!!). I started freaking out about what I would eat at this BBQ. I haven’t been telling many people in my life about going gluten free, I don’t wan to really brag about it and make people feel awkward and needing to make special things for me.
All in all, I took a fruit tray, because I had fruit on hand and I knew if they had fruit it would be covered in citrus (citrus is a migraine trigger for me, and because of my blind spot growing in my eye, I’ve been super careful to avoid my triggers). It worked out well, they had some corn chips (New Mexican’s cant do anything without chips and salsa thank goodness) and I had fruit. A couple hours in, they started grilling, and I wound up having to tell my friend I haven’t been eating gluten when he gave me a funny look when I asked what was in the burgers. I wound up just having a burger with a slice of cheese and some ketchup. Yummy! Most people gave me a weird look, and I told them.
It isn’t that I don’t want to tell people because I’m embarrassed about it. It’s because I don’t want people to feel like they have to accommodate me.
Then it rained and I only saw a couple fireworks. But it was a wonderful day :)
Now, to clean my house again…
