Gluten-Free Watercooler-Pastis Restaurant

Even though Pastis is my favorite restaurant of all time, easy back-up spot, great location etc..., I always have to be super careful!  There are only a few select things I can have on this menu and this list is diminishing.

Upon going gluten-free I went to Pastis ...Years ago.  The waitress I had told me the french fries were gluten-free.  She said they were fried separately.  (I had mysteriously gotten sick after).
I later found out that was a myth.  

The following time I went there, I spoke with the manager.  They are not gluten-free.  They are not fried separately.  

Most recently I went with a friend of mine for brunch and I ordered what I always get, the bar steak.  Plain.  With scrambled eggs.  Easy.  My friend got the Chicken Paillard and the waiter mentioned to me that I could not share her dish, because the sauce from the chicken is dusted with flour.

Seriously!?  Grilled chicken Paillard uses flour?  Geez Louise, A. Thank you for telling me, so news to me, as I have had that too in the past (and mysteriously gotten sick), and B.  Seriously, that dish does not need flour.  Not that I wanted to share my friend's dish, but I think the waitstaff there really needs to be educated, I swear every time I go I learn that another dish from my "safe" list has gluten.

I did however have a lovely champagne cocktail with rose water.  Ah, it was delightful.  Soon that's all i'm going to be able to have from there!

Such a shame, I love that place.

Below are a few posts about Pastis just in case you wanted to know.

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com

The Original Fudgsicle Mishap

                             My Grocery Cart About 3 months ago I was in the market as usual,  doing my weekly grocery shopping, in the second to last row: the freezer section.  I wanted my weekly fudge pop indulgence.  I grabbed the package in the backity back!! The most frozen one I could find, and decided to blog this wonderful gluten free treat.  I realized I had never blogged about this fudge pop being gluten-free, and how silly of me to keep this tid bit to myself.  So I grabbed my phone to take a picture of the front and back of the box.  I gasped! omg, omg, omg.  I starred at the ingredients.  MALT FLOUR.  Yikes!  No way!  It can't be.  How come I never noticed this before?  Did the ingredients change?  Was it always like this?  Something had to have changed and then to top it off I noticed at the bottom of the ingredient...
