I beg to reply. Well, she went to this place to get CarbQuik for me. Her
English being somewhat limited, she assumed that everything there was OK
for me. I have since explained the difference between low carb and low
gluten to her. She thought she was doing something nice for me. She's
learning. Having spent the first 50 years of her life in Thailand, the hot
weather is no deterrant. She cooks in the house from 6 AM to midnight, for
her catering business, everything from scratch. Does her and my meals, as
well.
