and I really love cooking. Shame I never get to show it off really.

But I'm far too lazy to work the sort of hours that I'd need to do. I just love food and love being creative, so it suits me down to the ground.
Also, Mrs Hats is a master of desserts, so between us we eat really fucking well.

that when we're in the kitchen there's no such thing as manners, so don't take it personally. 'Fuck off' basically means 'I'm ever so sorry darling, would you mind awfully moving away so I can use my space more effectively?'

I was so proud of my dinner tonight. SO healthy and yummy at the same time.

This is the thing...our cooking was born out of A) a desire to eat a bit better and B) spend less money at the supermarket. As a result the only things that come out of packets in our house these days are herbs and spices.

Except for the gluten free pasta/bread. That I have to buy.

I never used to be, but started to feel unwell about 18 months ago all the time, mentioned how I was feeling to a friend who I didn't know was coeliac, and he said to try removing gluten. Took it completely out of my diet for three weeks, felt amazing. Reintroduced it, felt awful.
Thought I could get away with it on monday when my mate cooked me pasta for tea. I ended up looking four months pregnant and being so uncomfortable I couldn't get to sleep til after midnight.

Still, as you say, there are a lot of gluten free products out there now. Imagine how these people must have had to live 20 years ago or more. Must have been terrible.

so when I go home to visit, they're like, "Oh, we've got pasta for tea tonight!" and I'm like, "is it gluten free?" "No" "well I can't eat it then." "SHUT UP AND EAT YOUR DINNER."

and gluten sensitivity. Coeliac disease is caused by a genetic mutation, whereas gluten sensitivity is usually brought about by a long term exposure to gluten and a corresponding immune response. you can't test for the gluten sensitivity, only for a wheat allergy or for coeliac disease mutations.
