Coffee by Elena Rego

Its pretty safe to say that if I’m not writing here every other day, that I’m either insanely busy or in the throws of my own conflictual drama with food and gluten.  The later is usually truer then the former.

Its Super Bowl weekend.  For people with gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease it can be a nightmare as party invitations start rolling in.
