Bread Oh Bread...

Oh bread! I love bread. I spend hours and hours dreaming about it. But damn I can't eat the regular soft stuff from Ralph's or Trader Joe's. That stuff is painful to my body, but oh so good tasting in my mouth. And most of the gluten free stuff...well...tastes gross. But finally in LA there is hope! Fresh GF bread from a new bakery in Culver City. "The Sensitive Baker" opened up recently and is getting high praises. The hours are limited for now, and the menu is constantly changing. Oh but who cares they've got good fresh bread, and everything is gluten free. There's no worrying about the food being safe or trying to figure out if eating out is worth the gamble. It's about time LA had a 100% gluten free store. I'm extremely thrilled. Now time to go get me some.

Just got back and the bread wasn't ready. So no bread for me today. I'll just have to come back next Sunday. But I did get the last cinnamon roll. It was so good. I went to my car and ate the whole thing (and half of a chocolate cup cake) before a left. I also bought a bagel and chocolate zucchini muffin. Can't wait to try those too.

Great Pasta

I love pasta, but the Gluten Free stuff can be disappointing at times. I love rice but I'm not a big fan of the brown. My mother on the other hand prefers it. So when I found GF brown rice pasta at Trader Joe's, I bought her a couple of bags. "Bought" being the word, because I never actually mailed them to her. Instead a few months later decided I really wanted some pasta and didn't want to drive to Whole Foods just to get some. So I decided to go ahead and try it. It was amazing. I cooked up the penne and couldn't believe how great it tasted. It was just how I remembered the wheat stuff. It wasn't mushy and didn't fall apart. I've since prepared it in different ways and it has always been delicious each time. I saw the other day they also make a spaghetti version. Haven't tired it yet, and am almost afraid to. I'm afraid that it might turn out mushy like a lot of the rice spaghetti or might fall apart like the quinoa or corn pastas do. I think for now I'll just stick with the penne and enjoy my new favorite pasta.

Great Indian Food

If you like Indian food, you will love this place. Amazing food that I just can't stop eating. Not only is a great tasting most of it is gluten free. In fact so much is that they mark the gluten free sections not the individual dishes.

My 2 favorite dishes are the Rogan Josh and Chicken Saag. I've only been there for lunch and haven't had an issues getting a table of I come in after 1pm. I was told it is a bit more difficult during dinner. Carry out is always an option and you can place your order online, fax or phone.

So if you're ever in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, you have to go.
