Bread is something eaten on a daily basis, or she assumed this was so. For sixty seven years all was well on the bread front until two words change her world in an instant.
Gluten Free, her mantra from now on and every day became a challenge.
Challenge one was where to source said bread. Supermarkets were not in harmony for a change and if found the loaves needed a mortgage before considering purchase.
Challenge two was home made bread in packet form. These when purchased or given by friends languished at the bottom of her flour basket in the pantry under the stairs for weeks on end until the day she decided to try one before the use by date caught her out.
The resultant bread loaf was edible but by now she has take the decision not to eat so much bread, so the birds had a feast. She wondered what they made of it and if they felt the benefits. She would never know.
