"Cousins" and similar diets

So I was talking to my cousin, who is not really my cousin, but we share an Aunt and Uncle so we sometimes call each other cousin. In my family with all of the cousins that have children who are my age and strange family relations sometimes it is easier to just say cousin. At any rate, I was talking to my cousin the other day and we had a really good conversation about changing diets and things. She happens to have something where she cannot have any gluten. I cannot imagine how difficult that would be. I think about my diet, and then add no gluten. Yikes. It is interesting that we had this conversation, because just 30 minutes earlier I was lamenting about how I wanted something to eat, and I wanted FOOD, but not vegetables or chicken, but chocolate, bread, pasta, something from the food categories which I love. It was so nice to talk to someone my age who could understand the withdrawals and frustrations which I am currently faced with. She just started having to keep this diet in the last few years, and she said that she would cry when walking down the bread isle at the grocery store. (That is so me right now.) Her doctor told her that she would go through withdrawals like and alcoholic goes through withdrawals...mine said smokers.
I had this internal fight with myself for two reasons, one, it was the Sabbath so I did not want to go shopping, and two I had already decided that this weeks lunch menu was chicken. I finally gave in, thawed some chicken and set it in marinade which turned out to be AMAZING. Turns out, about two months ago I bought some bread and dipping sauce, which I cannot use anymore for its intended purpose so I used it as a marinade. I set the chicken in it for just a few hours and then grilled it. It turned out much better than I expected. Between grumbling and giving in, I gave an Aunt and Uncle a call to ask a question and was invited for dinner (which is where the previously mentioned conversation took place). When we sat down to dinner, guess what we had? Yup, chicken. I guess it was meant to be this week.
