I contacted them to make sure that the oats are gluten-free and they replied that they’re from Bob’s Red Mill and are from a safe source.

Gluten Free Portland Goes Mobile

We’ve noticed, when we’re away from home and trying to use our own site to find a place to eat, that pages take forever to load and it’s really unfriendly to small screens. We also got a nudge to make our site more mobile-friendly from one of our friends who is also a reader (Hi Heather!) So this weekend I installed a new plug-in which seems to be doing a good job of making Gluten Free Portland run mobile. Let us know if you have any comments!

I’m also going to take a moment to apologize for the lack of restaurant reviews lately. Due to various factors, we haven’t been able to get to any restaurants in a while. Luckily, this is a temporary situation and I’ve got some ideas for new features in the future, so stay tuned.

Two Quick News Items

This is your reminder that this Saturday is the Portland Gluten Free Food Fair, which benefits the Portland Metro GIG. More details are here. Here are the basics: Saturday, May 1, 2010 – 11 AM to 2 PM at the All Saints Catholic Church at 3847 NE Glisan Street. The cost is $5 per person for a max of $10 per family. Children under 12 get in free.

This has nothing to do with gluten-free living, but it is about Portland. We saw FROGZ at the Imago Theatre last week and we both really enjoyed it. The show is actually kind of hard to describe. It’s a very imaginative series of vignettes starring animals, mysterious orbs, glowing bacteria-like organisms, an acrobatic larval creature, penguins, and even a cowboy. It is very mysterious, funny, creative, and worth seeing. It’s cultural events like this that make me love Portland even more.

FROGZ plays April 15 to May 16. Thursday (7PM) and Friday (7PM) ticket prices are $10 Kid, $15 Youth/Senior, $19 Adults. Saturday (2PM & 7PM) and Sunday (2PM) Tickets are $16 kids, $26 youth/seniors and $29 adults . Call Imago 503.231.9581 or TicketsWest at 503.224.8499, or online at www.ticketswest.com
