Valentine's Day

Valentine's day was almost a week ago now, but I felt it necessary to comment.  

For this super awesome holiday (totally serious by the way), my super awesome boyfriend got me a super awesome gift! He ordered Georgetown Cupcakes for me! The best part? They have gluten free ones! 

He simply ordered a dozen cupcakes off the website, but just clicked the "gluten free package" option. They got delivered to our desk in our dorm, and I have just eaten the last one today. 

The main point of this post: I simply do not understand how the goddesses at Georgetown Cupcake have created a gluten free cupcake that is as moist and delicious as the other ones! They have 6 of the normal flavors, simply in the gluten free variety.  The flavor was also exquisite, and I am shocked to tell you they are an excellent substitution to normal cupcakes.  I would like to ask them what type of flour they use, because it does not taste like almond or another substitution flour.  They taste like normal cupcakes.  (I wasn't always gluten free you know!)  The frosting (I know, already gluten free) is amazing, the cream cheese peanut butter is my favorite.

If you don't feel like having them delivered to your dorm, make sure you order ahead! They only make these cupcakes on special order, so they are not on display in the store.  Waiting in that line (about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the time and day) would be pointless if they didn't have the cupcakes you can eat.

Any-who, go forth and order, they are excellent :D

My First Post! ~exciting~

So...here it goes. My first blog post. I blame Patrick. His blog can be found here!

Anyway, my goal is to do a Gluten Free Blog, and I just happen to be a Terp also!  I guess I'll start with some exciting news: UMD Dining services now offers Gluten Free Pasta at the pasta line! It is super delicious and actually not bad.

In addition, they have a whole slew of semi tasty substitutions for the gluten full items out on the floor. For example, there are semi-decent frozen muffins in the back for your general enjoyment. My favorite is the gluten free bread and tortillas.  You can grab a tortilla and just take it to the grill and they will grill up a rull tasty quesadilla (pronounced que-sa-dill-a) for you right there!

Anyway...that was just an experiment for a first post. More to come!
