Re: When you think people will never 'get it'

That's great. Right now I am trying to cut way down on gluten, and three times in the past week my husband has tried to make me a quesadilla, but I just keep reminding him that I am not eating wheat. Then I take my share of the chicken meat and make something else. Eventually he will remember. In general, he's very supportive. It does help.
