Q: Whether you're baking or you need a thickener for gravy or a sauce, you have plenty of alternatives. Some of the main alternatives include almond flour, coconut flour, soy flour, and buckwheat. You can also use cornstarch or potato flour. Keep in mind that many of these alternatives cannot be substituted one-for-one with wheat flour. When you're first starting out, stick to established recipes to get your bearings. If you love cereal, don't despair. You can find cereals that don't contain gluten, though you do need to be careful. Many cereals are labelled as gluten-free. If they're not, be sure to check the ingredient list for wheat and other grains, as well as for malt extract or flavoring. Most standard breads and pasta contain wheat flour and therefore, gluten. However, because gluten-free is becoming a more popular diet, you'll be able to find many alternatives that use different flours. Sometimes, gluten-free breads are kept in the freezer section, so be sure to look around and ask if you need to. Many people have made this journey before you, so you don't need to forge your own path. You can find a wide variety of recipes on the web specifically targeted to be gluten-free, including desserts, main courses, and sauces.
A: Use different flours. Find gluten-free cereals. Look for gluten-free alternatives to bread and pasta. Use the web to find gluten-free recipes.

Q: On December 28th, also known as Holy Innocents' Day, many people play jokes on others. It's equivalent to April Fools Day in the United States. On top of playing pranks on one another, many cities have their own special festivals. Visit Jalance for the Fiesta de los Locos, or Crazy People's Dance. Ibi holds a Flour Battle, or Els Enfarinats Festival throughout the day. Celebrated on January 5th, towns across the country hold parties and parades to commemorate the arrival of the Three Kings the following day. Spend the night in Madrid or Barcelona to see parades with massive floats. Children expect larger gifts from the Three Kings overnight, so they often leave their shoes on windowsills or balconies to be filled with presents. Children wake up on January 6th and open the presents that the Three Kings brought them. Exchange gifts throughout the day. Afterward, have a large feast to celebrate. Enjoy a Roscon de Reyes, a ring-shaped fruit cake with a figurine baked inside. Whoever finds the figurine becomes the king of the day!
A:
Play pranks on one another on Dia de Los Santos Inocentes. Go to a parade on the eve of Epiphany. Give large gifts to one another on Three Kings' Day.
