Dear Diary, are the people who read advice columns and avoid gluten the same? Is this just part of the whole low-carb bonanza, or is there something going on that I don’t know about? Diary, sometimes I read this advice column called Dear Prudence. I like to know what’s eating people more than what’s people eating. Usually, it regards manners and morals, guest lists, and thank you notes. Recently, I was tempted to write in with a question about what to do knowing I couldn’t attend my friend’s wedding because of an irresponsible financial mishap, but I already knew the answer. Still, I wouldn’t take my own advice if it were gift-wrapped and post-marked from Buckingham Palace. I know a bomb when I see one, and this is definitely going to blow up in my face.
