The companies voted The Best Of will be officially thanked, which they SERIOUSLY deserve.

If you haven’t signed up yet to attend the upcoming Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Forum, maybe this list of speakers will give you a little nudge where a little nudge is needed:

Ten Ten Ten doesn’t come around all that often (October tenth, two thousand ten), so we’re noticing lots of events clamoring for your attention. But if you’re looking for something especially delicious – and especially free – try out the Gluten Free Fair in Benicia. This outdoor event will include 30 gluten-free vendors like Miglets, Jones Dairy Farm, Crave Bakery, Kettle Cuisine, Mariposa, Iamori, Zest Bakery, Bob’s Red Mill, Gluten-Free Living Magazine, Udi’s, and many more! This event should be a lot of fun, and it’s sponsored by some reputable resources, including Celiac Disease Foundation, Solano County Celiacs, North Bay Celiacs, and Sacramento Celiacs.

Here at The Lab we make an effort to keep on top of what’s new in the gluten-free scene, and sometimes that’s made really easy for us…especially when folks like HealthNOW put together a Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Forum event.

Since 2006, September 13 has become a celebration of Samuel Gee, who is credited with being the first person to find a link between celiac disease and diet. He once said “if the patient can be cured at all, it must be by means of diet.” Soooo….if ever there were a day to eat as many GF treats as your body desires, today is the day. The Lab is officially declaring it – in addition to National Celiac Awareness Day – GF Amesty Day. Woo!

Haven’t you always wanted somebody to throw you a GF pizza party? Or what about an allergen-free fun fest? C’mon, fess up. We know you’re into it, if only to make those kids of yours happy. So get this: Ian’s Natural Foods is giving away allergen-free Party Packages that serve 14 guests. That means you’ll get — delivered to your doorstep — a box of plates, utensils & napkins, invitations for each winner to send to guests, plus fun Andy the Otter stickers, tattoos and prizes. Could it get any easier to throw yourself — and a few of your kids’ friends — that pizza party you’ve always wanted?

We’re a couple of busy lab techs over here at The Gluten Free Lab. Tomorrow we’re off to Camp Celiac to peddle our newly-arrived cookbook (which looks a-MAZ-ing, by the way. Seriously. You need this in your life.). But to send potato month out with a bang, we’re going to leave you with a very, VERY special recipe – from the cookbook – that is a treat for the tastebuds AND makes use of that leftover baked potato lurking in the back of your fridge. Turning a potato into a donut? That’s my kind of magic.
