Four Crayon Stars


Not all of the gluten-free substitutes I’ve tried have been disappointing. Some are actually quite nice. I get Brazilian cheese bread dough balls at Harmons, and the grandkids eat them faster than I can bake them. Costco sells hexagonal multi-grain crackers that are wonderful with a little cheese and mustard, or as an accompaniment to soup. MOD makes a pizza crust from potato starch you'd swear was the real deal. The Starbucks inside Barnes and Noble has wheat-free brownies that are so delicious I almost forget I can’t eat any of the other baked treats there. Winder Dairy delivers something similar, cut into little bites so I can make it last until next delivery day. On Valentine’s Day I paid an embarrassing amount of money for a flourless Chocolate Decadence cake at Gourmandise. I shared it with everyone, but it took about two weeks to polish it off. One bite and your eyes roll back in your head. Worth. Every. Penny.
