We figured out answers to some of the looming questions we had in our last post:
1. Dave's Killer Bread is "food."  Turns out wheat gluten is just wheat washed with water basically. So, we are good to go on the bread front.  However, one of our readers asked if we would always make our own bread.  My answer is that I would like to but I don't think I can count on myself to do this every time.  So I like knowing about other good breads.  Also, when we make our own bread it's SOOO freaking good it's gone within 24 hours.  That would be dangerous on a regular basis.  So buying bread won't be such a bad thing.  And another issue is that there are certain types of breads I haven't figured out how to make.  Such as hamburger buns!  Anyone have a good recipe?  We want to make buffalo burgers but are discouraged with the lack of bun options.  Maybe we can find some good rolls to use that qualify as "food?"
2.  Sulfate-free wine is a GO!  Now, we have to find out where they sell this stuff.  I'm assuming just asking the wine person at the grocery store will be a good way to hunt some down.  They have to have it around because I was reading that some people are deathly allergic to sulfates and we can't have those people running around sad 24/7 because they can't drink wine.  Anyone have any leads on this?
3. Beer.....sadly, we don't quite have an answer yet.  We know that cheap beer such as bud and coors is NOT food.  Turns out they use all kinds of crazy artificial stuff.  One chemical they add controls the amount the beer foams!  We are hoping local microbrews will be safe but haven't found out for sure.  Can anyone help us out on this (Ahem, Jason)?  We will need to do a consult with our beer expert friend.
4. If you are curious what "enriched noodle product" is, like we were, here is a lengthy definition:

We are staying strong on Day #3.  I'm baking more bread and hard boiling eggs.

re: wine...maybe check out Every Day Wine, as well. Its a sweet wine shop on alberta, with an awesome selection, and you can bring in your picnic and drink wine at the same time.
ReplyDeletebtw, are you ever going to be able to eat out again??
Thanks Erin and Margot for the suggestions! We should have used them but have not yet had time. We ended up finding ONE type of wine we could drink at Fred Myers (that is seriously all they had). We were so excited we bought two bottles. Sadly, the stuff is beyond gross. I will blog about it later....
ReplyDeleteAlso, Margot, we should be able to eat out again with Rule #2, thank goodness!
