WEEKEND UPDATE

Scroll down for an update added after the original posting.

This weekend is shaping up as a big one for those of the gluten-free persuasion. I've been reading on the message board of the New York City Celiac Disease Meetup Group that Everybody Eats—purveyors of great gf rolls and baguettes, among other baked and bready goodies—will now have Saturday storefront hours from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at 294 Third Avenue in Brooklyn. Checks and cash will be accepted along with plastic from Visa, Mastercard, and Diner's Club.

Everybody Eats will also be at the Colin Leslie Walk For Celiac Disease in Rye on Sunday. Note that registration has been extended for the Family Screening—take care of that asap if you're interested.

Also coming to the Colin Leslie Walk will be Gluten-Free Girl and The Chef, as part of their whirlwind book tour including a few events in NYC. I hope those two Beatle fans have as good a time in the city as John Lennon seems to have in this video.

WEEKEND UPDATE UPDATE I had a feeling I'd forgotten something: Tomorrow is that 20% discount day at Macy's. Even if you haven't yet made the donation to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) (thereby qualifying for the discount), you might still have a shot on the premises tomorrow.
