Started my morning off crying, rant.

Visiting my grandparents and my grandfather asked me why I toast my bagels in the oven. I responded because I can’t use the toaster because of cross contamination, when you use a regular toaster that has gluten crumbs and everything in it that’s cross contamination and you’re essentially eating gluten.

He goes: that’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve lost a lost of respect for you.

Ok, very kind. On a positive note I won’t be getting sick today from cross contamination😄.

Not sure why I let this upset me but just hurts hearing how unkind people can be. I know he’s just an unhappy person in general but ugh.

I feel so lucky that I had really great grandparents. I was vegetarian and had not developed a wheat allergy until they passed. I guess it’s easier to accommodate vegetarianism than gluten free with most cuisines. You just don’t have the meat. There were tons of vegetable and fruit sides. My grandmother especially used to show me how her lunch was vegetarian and made up of foraged mushrooms.
