"What do Buddhist Monks, Teddy Roosevelt's second cousin, and Great White Sharks have in common? They're all gluten free.
While that statement holds no factual weight and has never once been proven, here's what HAS been proven - Jules Shepard is the shit. Her valiant effort to raise awareness and provide accessibility to the dietary pigeon-holed community of anti-gluten-ites is commendable. Jules is pioneering the way for curious people like YOU to not fear the kitchen, but accept it as a safe, hopeful room with nothing but the smell of a second chance brimming from every corner of the oven.
And here's the best part: she makes it easy for the culinarily challenged. That means anyone can do it, even your neighbor who conveniently never has any sugar, or your husband who harbors forks in the drawer of your bedside table can whip up some tummy-friendly good-good and you won't even have to worry about if the insurance will cover a house fire.
While you may dwell on the fond memories you shared with gluten years ago, just know that gluten hasn't thought about you since spring break 2009. He isn't calling you back. It's time to look for someone who has your best interest at hand, someone with a job, and who cares, and someone with a job."
