I made my way from Sweden to Germany, and have been working furiously here auf Deutschland as well. Sweden was pretty awesome for eating gluten free - and I'll get to that more later. Germany, however, is throwing me a curve ball. Sort of like the U.S., it seems like everything is wrapped in bread, sitting on bread, baked inside of bread, or breaded on the outside. I know that's an exaggeration, but hey, some of us are trying to eat here!

I have mostly been eating lunch meat, potato chips, fruit, veggies, and chocolate from the market. It's going pretty well, but I wouldn't mind a hot meal. I was at a work meeting today, and the office's assistant passed around a menu for us to pick our lunch entree from. I chose a salad, since the rest of the menu was pizza and lasagne. The salad showed up with noodles on top, and a little bag of bread on the side. Um, no. I pulled my handy pack of lunchmeat out of my bag and ate that. Good thing there was fruit as an afternoon snack! Tonight I tried to hit Restaurant Erdapfel, which has a gluten free menu, and serves some of their entrees with fresh gluten free bread, but it was dark, late, and I couldn't find it on the corner it was supposed to be on. Oh well.

I'm longing for home a wee bit too. Like, my cramped apartment and small kitchen and cooking every night. I wouldn't mind it. Only a few more days to go! Until then, I'll be dreaming of the gluten and dairy free chocolate chip cookies I made recently, that I'll probably make right when I get home. I'll share the recipe soon, because this was a great one!
