T minus one

So I finally get an endoscopy tomorrow to confirm my Coeliacness. I've spent weeks being cross that it's taken so long and looking forward to getting on with a GF diet, but now that it's upon me I'm starting to really think about all the things I won't be able to eat.

So I just had a "for old time's sake"" lunch of an M&S prawn sarnie (which trumped wraps or paninis after some deliberation) followed by a cinnamon pastry. For dinner I think it'll have to be fresh pasta as there's some spinach and ricotta tortellini in the fridge. No brekkie tomorrow unless I get up extremely early, so I had mini wheats this morning.

I'm already bloating up courtesy of the sarnie and danish, so I know it's a Good Thing to be getting on with it and cutting out the evil gluten. But I may spend the afternoon wistfully pondering Pret sandwiches, Morton's mozzarella and sun dried tomato baguettes, Ben's cookies and other such lunchtime treats.

I am lucky enough to have a couple of extremely tasty options on my doorstep at work though: the Alpha Bar does amazing salad boxes, and for a once-in-a-while blow-out there's The Mission who will serve their delicious veggie burritos without the tortilla in a bowl instead.

So all is not completely lost. Bring on the endoscope!
(Erm, sort of..)

Tastier than they look

But that wouldn't be all that hard, would it? From my box of Glutafin freebies, two rolls that looked even scarier in the packaging. I know they could easily be mistaken for plastic rolls from a kids' play bakery, but filled with egg mayo they were ok. I did hollow out some of the dough to make the egg/roll ratio a bit more palatable, mind. Still, all is not lost.

Passable Pita

Had a remarkably edible sandwich for lunch using Tesco's Free From pita bread, filled with grilled halloumi cheese and some chopped red pepper. I think I would just about say that it could have passed for normal pita, in both texture and taste. Yay.
