the ramblings of a gluten free princess on a carb fast

i am so sorry i havent been on to blog!!no reason except i forgot. how i could forget to talk & use my words is beyond me but there it is. currently in the castle the king & i are on a 21 day carb fast. so just meat & veggies (& popcorn:) day 6 & except for the said corn we are doing pretty bad. day 2 i blew it with gf scones i made at the tea shop. choco orange scones & vanilla scones that a customer wanted. i so forgot & popped a smidge in my mouth to test. yummy by the way. but that wasnt the bad part really. the fact that i shrugged my shoulders & popped another flavor in my mouth, that was bad!! i repented & went forth a forgiven princess. then day 3. my friend rhonda went out of her way to make a choco torte (again at the shop) useing my gf flour mix. yes, i had a bite. yes, it was fabulous!!! i recommend it. days 4&5 were much better except for the popcorn thing. day 6 the king found some gf pound cake we found in a gf store in lacey. by the way, g.f.joes in lacey!! awesome little store that is devoted to the gf lifestyle. thanks joe!!!! anyways, pound cake, yes, it was good!! i also recommend. a bit of an after taste but all in all very good. we talked of strawberries & cream would definetly be called for. we also found a cute little tea room in olympia called the tea lady. nothing like ours. no food but lots of tea & accessories to go with said tea. i bought 2 rooibos tea blends. the first from metropolitan tea co called belgian chocolate rooibos. oh dear!!!! so delish!!!!! i taste a hint of mint. the other one is from the republic of tea called chocolate orange rooibos. tasted just like my scones. another o dear!!!! both are caffine free so i can drink them all day. only bad side affect..... i really gotta go to the bathroom a lot!!!nothing like clean kidneys:) im thinking of featuring these teas at the shop for our date with chocolate tea in july. i think they will be great!! as for the shop.... wonderful. i think my mom would love to go as would a couple of my friends . we tryed some pizza crusts last weekend. these were from kinnikinnick. not bad. not great but not bad. i prefer garlic jims pizza crust better. the store bought crust reminded me of school pizza. i was never thrilled with that. for meat i used a lamb sausage from metropolitan market. oh yeah!!! good stuff. for the sause i used classicos garlic 4 cheeses pasta sauce. its gluten free & it says so on the back. it was the goodest pizza. i say goodest becouse it wasnt the best due to the crust. well,on with the fast. 2 more weeks. i want to do better & im going to. no more popcorn for this princess. i will sit & make pretty jewled things & sip yummy teas & think of popcorn. tata for now.... the gf princess :)
