Yesterday I had a special dinner. It was my daughter’s birthday. We live nearly half a country apart, so while she was not with us in person, she was in spirit. My wonderful husband stopped at the grocery store on his way home from work for some Schaller & Weber Summer Sausage for an appetizer for our dinner. I eat almost completely “organically,” but some events require a special treat. Summer sausage reminds me of my childhood and all the associated happy memories; therefore, it falls into the category of treats. One of my favorite memories from my childhood is the hours I spent swimming with my brothers and sisters. We would often sit on our front porch on summer mornings watching the thermometer slowly rise to the seventy-two degrees required for swimming. Only rarely were we disappointed with a cooler day.
It is possible to indulge yourself, even wheat-free, if you take the time to ask questions at the grocery store. I check ingredients on processed foods every time I buy them.
