It's amazing what we'll overlook if we've been exposed to it since birth. In my case, it's wheat. Everybody eats wheat products - bread, pasta, cookies, muffins, cereal. So, if it turns out to be bad for you, it's the last thing you suspect. By golly, the butler did it!

The connection here is that this little scene is in an alley through which I wandered today on my way to a great little bakery here in Vancouver that makes fantastic gluten-free buns, brownies, and banana bread.
