Usually when I travel, I get pretty paranoid about breakfast more than any meal of the day. I do my best of bringing my breakfast staples and hope for the best when I get there.
Being gluten free, I feel, is most difficult at breakfast because breakfast is very carbohydrate based for most people. If I were to ever ask a host or a hotel for some gluten free oats, I’m pretty sure I would get laughed at.
Luckily for me, this week is fairly different. I came supplied with my oats… and that’s it! Gabriela supplied the rest. Have I mentioned she really rocks? It’s true! It is a rare treat for me to travel and have almond milk, natural peanut butter, and a photography station all at my finger tips.
This can go on the list of “you know you know you’re a food blogger when…”.
I even got my choice of many different placemats that Gabriela has collected for photography purposes. I went with the pink and green monkey placemat, as we have been monkeying around the city all week.
The best part about this was having a photography assistant. Gabriela kindly held up my light bounce for me as I took these pictures. A girl’s got to take advantage of situations like that!
Even better than getting to eat my oatmeal and having quite the photography station was not having someone look at me like I was crazy for wanting to make my oats the night before and sticking them in the fridge.
My secret of making my breakfasts last as long as humanly possible has come out as well. Savoring every bite and making my breakfast last for 20-25 minutes is weird I’ve learned — and I suppose it makes it even worse when my breakfast is totally gone at the end.
I may be relaxed now, but next week (foreshadow alert!!!) I may be a little bit paranoid about my breakfasts once again.
Question: Are you ever paranoid about food situations while traveling?
