In the last couple of years I have become almost obsessed with all things wheat. I LOVE wheat bread, wheat pasta and wheat tortillas. I even found wheat stuffing a couple months ago. All I need is wheat Premium salt crackers and I'll be set for life.
About five months ago, I got sick of all the bread at the store and I decided to make my own wheat bread. I found a really good recipe on the internet that called for things they don't sell at the grocery store, so I forced myself to go to the scary weird health food store, which was definitely an interesting experience. I wasn't sure if wheat gluten was the same as gluten flour, so I asked someone at the customer service desk. The girl at the desk actually said to me, "I don't have authority to answer that question. Let me call one of our Nature Specialists to help you." Then this girl, who if I wasn't in Provo I would really have thought was high, came over. She was wearing a bandanna and crocs and no make-up and she was definitely special. After some spiel about how great her knowledge of nature and health is, I asked her if wheat gluten is the same thing as gluten flour. She stared at me for about a minute straight and finally said, "I don't know." Then she walked off.
(In case you're wondering, I went home and did my own research and wheat gluten is the same thing as gluten flour).
Now I make homemade bread twice a month and when I have to go back to the health food store, I know exactly what I need, so I don't have to talk to any wacky Nature Specialists, who apparently know nothing about nature or health anyway.
