Bronco's Trip To Seattle

Ok,

So my first trip to Seattle was 2 weeks ago. Let me start by saying that Seattle is soooo green and beautiful and has lots of clean air and is soooo green and WOW!

I was sort of suprised at the amount of traffic up there, but as long as you get to where you are going and stay there for a few hours at each location, it is fine.

I made the trek to Da Vinci's gluten free bakery. (Da Vinci Bakery and Cafe. 10003 Greenwood Ave N. Seattle, WA Phone: 206-782-5735).

Its a small little place that looks like a converted old house (but quaint -LOL)

anyway, they have a sidewalk that leads up to the place (and a parking lot/driveway). You go through a screen door and there are random tables with newspapers on them already on the left. On the right is a decorated wall that leads out. Keep going straight and on the right and left are little ledges with gluten free goodies wrapped in them.

On the left past the table is a barista bar (fancy term for coffee bar) and more gluten free cookies. In the back, is a freezer/refrigerator that has more food. On the wall and next to the counter are menus (both large and small) which tell you what is available. In addition, next to the cash register are fresh rolls, muffins and panini sandiches (all gluten-free) which are available for immediate consumption.

My two non-celiac friends and I decide to give the Bacon-Cheese-Breakfast-Paninis a shot. (Note, when you order them they take them out and put them in a George Foreman Grill and bring them to the table piping hot - yummy, but a Foreman Grill? LOL)

Having said that, they were really good. Having said that, I was hungover from a night out in Bell-town, but they were still really tasty. I also had a triple vanilla latte which hit the spot (they have soy options for the lactose folk).

On the way out, I bought some Fresh Foccacia bread, some more of thos panini rolls and some "Death by Chocolate" cookies...

I ate everything in 3 days - LOL

anyway, I recommend the rolls, muffins, panini bread and foccacia. They are dense (as most gluten-free stuff is), but they have this incredible butter-taste that makes breakfast sandwiches seem so yummy!

I would go back and I will order more...

p.s. Pike Market and the Chateau St. Michelle Winery were also fun!

p.p.s. The folks in Seattle reminded me of the Midwest -- very nice, polite and horrible drivers...

p.p.p.s. Tomorrow, I am going to Austin, Texas for the OSU game. Go Buckeyes!!!!

As an Austin citizen, I'd like to warn you about the traffic. And the fans. I don't have any intention of leaving my house tomorrow, too dangerous! :blink:

Make sure you go to 6th street!

Maybe I'll wear my red BEAT TEXAS shirt and see what happens ;)

I recommend Toulouse (sp.) if it's still there .... I loved it when I was in college -- the drinking age in Texas was 19 back then.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
