and down the tubes it goes

I just finished enjoying a piece of my daughter's birthday cake, a delightful creation out of The Vegan Table. I happen to agree with her that Red Velvet Cake tastes much better without the food colouring and with a little more cocoa. Of course, that makes the cake a chocolate one, and not so much with the velvety redness.

She used wheat flour in the cake. So much for my grand plan--wheat was next week's introduction.

So far, I have experienced a rumbling tummy and a whole lot of gas. We'll see what happens next, if anything.
