Life in Linn Kansas

I blogged last week about my recent celiac diagnosis.  It's been a bit overwhelming but I've had a ton of support.  It's often hard to find gluten free options in rural communities but I've had such a positive experience so far, that I had to share.

1. Our local bar "Just Left" has ordered Red Bridge for me.  Red Bridge is a sorghum beer made by Anheuser-Busch.  It's rather tasty and perfect for my gluten free diet, as I can still consume grains.  Also, drinking beer made from sorghum is widely accepted by my farmer husband that raises grain sorghum.

2.  Our local grocery store "Jack's" has reached out to me.  I had a facebook message from someone associated with the store that basically said the store would be happy to order me whatever I needed to help with my diet.  How awesome is that?

3.  My sister in law Kate has been super excited to make me a Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie.  After several unsuccessful tries of getting the dough perfect, she sent me a picture of the beginnings of my first gluten fee pie crust.  She didn't want me to feel left out at Thanksgiving so I have my very own pie.  How thoughtful is she?

I really did marry into a great family and move to a wonderful community 7 years ago.  Have a Great Thanksgiving!
