First let me say I am very annoyed with this company. It is Allergy Free
Foods. I first learned of this company when I was looking for a dairy free
cheese, which they used to make. It was beef based. Somehow they made it
taste *just* like cheese. All different kinds. It even melted like cheese.
The problem? It made me puke. Every time I ate it. So maybe too much fat
for me. I don't know.

They stopped selling the cheese but said they were going to reformulate it
to make it taste better. I had hope! But this never happened.

They also sold whole sheet cakes and cornbread. Angela loved these. But
they stopped selling them on their website and began selling them for an
over inflated price on one of the TV type home shopping channels. Still, a
whole sheetcake cut into serving size pieces, put in containers and put in
the freezer would last her a year.

They also sold gravy mixes. I bought those and also some cornbread mix.
Which leads me to the icky cornbread story.

I had two mixes that I was saving. For what? I don't know. But I decided
to make one today. They were old. I do know that. And long story short,
there were weevils in it. Which I didn't realize until I had mixed it up.

I threw it out and hesitantly opened the other one. No bugs. The weevils
in the other mix were dead. The mix was in a thick plastic bag that
appeared to be sealed from all sides. Not even a pin hole. How they got in
there is beyond me. I checked all my other flour and such and didn't see
any signs of weevils. I asked Angela if she would be willing to try it
because I know how she is about stuff like that. She wanted it and she
likes the end result. I would have been just as happy to do without it.

Anyway... That was not what I wanted to see! I have seen weevils a few
times in the past. The first time was in some paprika that belonged to my
landlord. He told me after the fact that the spices were very old and had
come from his cabin. These were the days when all spices still came in
metal cans.

The next time wasn't actually weevils, or maybe it was, but larvae on the
flour aisle. I didn't buy anything in that store from that aisle.

The next time was in a Jiffy cake mix that I had mail ordered. Again, just
in one mix. Again dead.

So... How do those things get in there?
