Another post for any of my readers with food allergies and intolerances:
Bravo to London masters of the chick pea, Hummus Bros. for their online allergy eliminator menu: http://www.hbros.co.uk/ourfood/index.php
I loved this place already, but even more so now that I know they’re allergy-saavy. Well done guys.

Having recently discovered that I’m one of those gluten-free people, I’ve found myself in a constant search for gluten-free versions of foods that I just can’t live without.
One of these foods is PIZZA.
Across the pond, both of my sisters and one of my nieces have the coeliac gene so I’m pretty well-versed in American gluten-dodging, but being a Londoner I’ve now got to find my own path over here.
I’m pleased to tell you that I have found a place called Stringray Cafe that serves excellent gluten-free pizza right in my neighbourhood! So I thought I’d share it with my readers in case you guys are GF too. They’ve totally conquered the shrinking pizza base problem, resulting in a lovely normal-sized pizza.
Gluten-free garlic bread with cheese.
My choice, the gluten-free Veneziana.
Helix’s choice, the GF Florentina. Notice the scale of the pizza against knife and fork – it’s normal sized!
There are three Stringray Cafes in London, in Highbury, Tufnell Park, and Columbia Road, and all of them offer GF pizza. They are baked in the same oven as regular pizza though, so if you are extremely sensitive and want to avoid cross-contamination you may want to give this a miss. Otherwise, buon appetito!
Watch this space for more gluten-free pizza reviews, because I will certainly be trying them all. I eat more pizza than a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and The Ramones combined.
I’ve also found an excellent source of recipes and in-depth explanations and support for various food intolerances through The Adventures Of Limited Eating (http://limitedeating.com) by London-based nutrition consultant Casey LaZonick. Her site even features restaurant guides for people with food intolerances in various cities across the world! Definitely worth a visit.
I plan on experimenting with GF baking in coming weeks, if I come up with anything earth-shattering I will put the recipe on here!
With love,
Jess Indeedy
Ever wonder what to wear to Lunchtime Disco?
Take inspiration from these fun-loving lunchtime revellers:

A good friend of mine introduced me to this blog yesterday, and it actually made me shed a tear of joy.
I don’t often blog about other blogs, but I think this love needs spreading.
Behold: Mrs. Fletcher’s Closet - a blog dedicated to the sartorial choices of Jessica Fletcher of Murder, She Wrote.
It’s like a dream I never knew I dreamt has come true. I mostly watch Murder, She Wrote because of the fashion worn by Jessica. Also I feel I have a lot in common with her: she’s a New Englander, I’m a New Englander, we have the same name, she doesn’t take shit from anyone, neither do I…
My favourite bits are when she travels to the UK (and often has an identical cousin with an amazing British accent).
Enjoy, and hope your heart sings as much as mine does when I read this blog.
Love,
Jess Indeedy xx

I did some cute Easter nail art on myself for the weekend. It was really fun and relaxing to do, but I am fully aware these make me look like a crazy person:
