Well, I am happy to report that all of the food I bought at the gluten-free store is good. The Glutino crackers are excellent. They're a cross between a saltine and a Ritz. The bread, made from amaranth flour is pretty decent, too. Not like wheat bread, mind you, but good enough to enjoy. And the Glutino cereal tasted sort of like a mix between Honey Comb and Captain Crunch.

So, I can't remember the name of the bread mix that I saw on-line that prompted me to go to the store, but I need to find out because the fresh-baked loaf from the store costs $10.00. Something about paying that much for a loaf of bread just doesn't seem right. But, I had an egg salad sandwich on untoasted bread and it was quite yummy. Usually you have to toast the life out of gluten-free bread for it to be anywhere near palatable. Today I had a BLT on toasted bread. Delish.

I'm looking forward to having the crackers with something and maybe even making a cookie with them. A few years ago, pre-diagnosis, my neighbor made some cookies for me that consisted of peanut butter sandwiched between two Ritz crackers and dipped in a chocolate shell. I can't tell you how good those things were. Of course, I haven't had them since then, but this year may be the year!
