Quick Bites Party Fare -Now is the time to think of spring parties, picnics,
and fun in the sun. But how do you, with your gluten-free diet, enjoy the
festivities when so much of the food is off limits? Easy--you bring your own!
Luscious Thai salad rolls with peanut sauce (or faux peanut sauce for the
peanut sensitive); red chard rollups stuffed with seasoned rice served warm or
cold; and empanadas stuffed with chilies, veggies, and corn or meat for a handy
little pocket meal will be the party fare menu for this evening. It's a menu
so scrumptious, all party goers, with or without dietary restrictions, will
be eyeing your dishes! Join Dr. Jean Layton, chef and naturopathic physician,
and Kelle Rankin-Sunter of the Bellingham Gluten Intolerance Group for this
amazing exploration of picnic and party fare for gluten-free living. Class is
held at Sehome High School. please register at:

We will have two shifts of ten demo tables offering samples of gluten free
food to customers shopping on May 17th at the Food Pavilion in Fairhaven
(which means we need 20 folks volunteering). This will be a great opportunity to
help out as well as attend the event and try all the great GF foods that are
available at this store. There will be GF cooking demos at 1 PM, 3 PM and 5
PM. We will also have an information table with brochures, a sign up sheet and
information on May as Celiac Awareness Month. In the email, please give me
your name, email address and phone number as well as whether you would like to
work from 12:30 to 3:30 PM ( Shift A ) or the 3:00 to 6:00 PM (Shift B ).
Thanks, Kelle
3. New Restaurant - Mount Vernon The Trumpeter Public House 360-588-4515 -
Serving gluten free fish and chips! - WOW
The Trumpeter Public House opened just 8 weeks ago. At the suggestion of a
patron who really wanted fish ?n chips but couldn't have it due to dietary
restrictions, they investigated and followed through on offering gluten-free
selections. Their new menu (available 4/25) will note which items are naturally
GF and which items have been prepared to be gluten free (like Fish and Chips
- $11 and Fried Calamari (appetizer) $7 - both were great!). They can be
found at 426 Myrtle St. in Mount Vernon (very easy to find) or check out their
website at _www.trumpeterpublichouse.com_ (http://www.trumpeterpublichouse.com)
. Note: currently the GF items are not marked on the website menus.
