We left the trailer behind this weekend to go visit the family in our hometown. It was a 200 mile drive, mostly through the countryside in Alabama. Back in the days when I still ate a gluten filled diet, when we traveled I would make a picnic lunch so we could eat in the truck. Egg sandwiches, with potato chips, and maybe some fruit. But since we stopped eating gluten, we haven’t had that simple pleasure. But guess what? since I have all that Udi’s bread in the freezer, I surprised FabGrandpa with egg sandwiches:
Now that might not look like such a treat to anyone else, but to us, it was wonderful! It just seems like such an intimate thing, for me to make a sandwich for my sweetheart on a trip out of town.

I completely understand where you're coming from. You can not understand the simple pleasure of biting into a sandwich (and one that didn't require toasting first to make it edible) until you have been denied that pleasure.

Mmmm…egg salad sandwiches! Certainly a simple pleasure. I'm going to boil some eggs this morning! Thank goodness you aren't allergic to eggs.

Simple joys are the best joys.

You inspired me….I made egg salad for lunch today and have enough left for a sandwich tomorrow!
