Well, we have been travelling for 13 days now and Andrew only has a certain amount of clothes, so today we pause and do laundry! I “almost” completed the Ireland document that I have been working on for the Celiac bus trip that is the next “segment” of our vacation. Twelve pages done – two to go!
It is so much fun doing laundry when the humidity level is at about 90% – for those of us that do not use dryers (like me) or Andrew who prefers to hang dry some items like his jeans, we now are going to take a time out to hang dry our clothes for the next few days! Thank goodness we still have some clothes to wear!
We also went grocery shopping as we are in a room (I would NEVER call this a suite despite the hotel name – TownePlace Suites) that does have a fridge, sink, a hob and a small dishwasher. It is VERY obvious the kitchen is not used very often though as we have 2 spoons, 2 forks, 1 knife and one paring knife along with appropriate dishes, mugs and TINY drinking glasses! So after getting some groceries we then prepared a quick dinner with some GF noodles (I received a sample of 2 bags at the GIG conference), chicken and pasta sauce. The noodles were excellent! A bit different than the normal rice/sorghum ones that we normally use, as they are made with konjac flour and thus have a bit of a thick glass rice noodle consistency. No negative consequences of eating them and blood sugar behaved which was great! For my Celiac and/or Diabetic friends – these are only in the southeastern USA right now (this brand) however once they update their packaging for the Nutrition panel and en francais, they will be available to purchase in Canada!
