Today
was
my
first
venture
into
a
store
that
sells
only
gluten-free
food,
and
it
was
with
a
healthy
dose
of
skepticism
that
I
did
so,
having
had
experiences
with
gluten-free
creations
that
ranged
from
'hmm...not
bad'
to
'YEECCCHHH!'.
The
person
behind
the
counter
was
full
of
enthusiasm
and
patience
as
she
named
literally
every
item
in
the
display
case
for
me
and
answered
my
questions.
I
decided
to
purchase
a
double-chocolate
doughnut,
along
with
a
loaf
of
fresh
cinnamon-raisin
bread
and
a
frozen
pizza
dough.
My
receipt
later
showed
that
the
doughnut
cost
nearly
$5.
"That's
insane!"
I
thought
to
myself.
I
sat
down
at
my
kitchen
table
to
try
this
supposedly
delicious
gluten-free
treat....reportedly
good
enough
to
please
even
picky
children.
As
I
opened
the
plastic
shell
I
instantly
saw
that
this
was
a
BIG
doughnut;
it
was
easily
two
servings
for
me.
So,
really,
I
got
two
hand-crafted
doughnuts
at
just
under
$2.50
apiece.
Fair.
I
took
a
bite
and
chewed.
The
texture
on
the
outside
was
slightly
crisp,
with
a
dense,
moist,
cake-like
center.
I
swallowed
and
had
to
catch
my
breath
as
I
actually
exclaimed
"WOW!"
to
my
dogs,
who
heartily
mirrored
my
sentiments
in
hopes
of
getting
a
taste.
This
doughnut
was
WORTH.
EVERY.
PENNY.
Forget
Krispy
Kreme,
Tim
Hortons,
Dunkin'
D's,
your
gramma
Pearl's
family
recipe
and
every
other
doughnut
you've
ever
had.
You
have
GOT
to
try
this,
even
if
you
aren't
gluten
free!
I
promise
you
will
not
be
disappointed!
Next,
I
tried
the
cinnamon-raisin
bread,
figuring
there
was
no
way
they
could
hit
the
jackpot
twice.
I
toasted
up
a
slice
and
slathered
on
some
honey-butter.
I
took
a
bite
of
the
crust,
which
is
the
part
I
usually
like
the
least,
and
smiled
widely
as
I
was
transported
back
to
my
childhood
and
memories
of
eating
the
very
same
with
butter
and
brown
sugar
on
top.
I'm
still
munching
as
I
type
this,
and
am
amazed
at
how
thoroughly
and
genuinely
I
am
enjoying
it.
The
toast
has
cooled
down
now,
but
not
lost
a
bit
of
it's
chewiness
or
flavour
-
something
I
noticed
with
most
store-bought
GF
breads.
I
am
excited
to
try
the
pizza
dough,
but
perhaps
another
time.
My
heart
may
not
be
able
to
take
this
much
bliss
in
one
day
;)
THANK
YOU,
Edible
Options,
for
making
gluten-free
products
an
actual,
viable
option
for
me!
