Gluten free - day 1

On Thursday I called the hospital. More than a week since the biopsies, I had expected the results by then. The nurse, or receptionist, on the other end could confirm that the biopsies were back from the lab, and that a letter had been written two days before. She could not tell me over the phone what the letter said. It's Sunday now, and still no letter. Is there such a thing as letter-snatchers? Or has my letter taken a journey on the internal mail highway in the hospital and gotten lost?

Either way - yesterday I decided to wait no longer. With the letter in the mail, I figured starting eating gluten free would be fine. I had my first intentionally gluten-free breakfast. Eline and I made a glorious lunch salad with sliced rib-eye steak on top.

We visited friend in the evening and attempted to make sushi with their rambunctious kids - it was hilarious. And the resulting sushi, sashimi, fish and rice combo was very good. Eline and I had it with Tamari instead of regular soy sauce. Surprisingly, I could not detect much of a difference. I am so happy. Really, I am. Soy sauce would have been kind of a big deal to do without.

I also stocked up on some gluten free staples from Schär. Like orange cookies... I created a gluten free shelf in the kitchen and there I have a loaf of bread, some ciabattas, cereal, Scandinavian crisp bread. And orange cookies.... So far I have tried the bread and the cereal. Both are quite alright.

Yes, and we will not talk about the half danish (very much not gluten free). One moment it sat on the counter, the next it did not... So today is the true gluten free day 1.
