OK, that's it. I'm buying some. I cannot eat Dreamfields because it
gives me diarrhea the next day (as does Carbalose as well -- waaahhh!),
and I really miss having just a few threads of pasta with my fabulous
buffalo bolognaise.

I'm sending you good thoughts. We're having issues with my 85 year-old
mother. Not Alzheimers, but *she* is helping care for her gentleman
friend who does have Alzheimers. He's in the Alzheimers wing of their
top notch retirement community (Kendal), so she doesn't have to do basic
care, but still it's wearing.
