On a side note: 

I've been researching gluten free recipes 
and foods this week.  
It has been interesting and a definite experiment 
in tastes and textures! 

I called that handsome man yesterday and asked,

"Did you find the bag of Pirate's Booty" I left you?
--the gluten free snack... "

"Yes.." he replied, tentatively.  

"How did you like it?" I inquired.

"Well, it was different...and the name is weird"...he stated.

"Yes", I replied, "I tasted the first one and thought it tasted like one of those packing peanuts...
same texture also...
with dried powdered seaweed as the flavoring,"  
I matter of factly stated.  

Like I have ever eaten packing peanuts 
with powdered seaweed flavoring....

"But the next 30 or so of them kinda grew on me...."

"Yes, I felt the same way," he agreed...
"and I finished off the entire bag."  

"Should we buy it again?" I asked.

"No," he said.  "I feel that gluten must be 
the ingredient in food that makes it taste good."  :)

After this week, I may have to agree!
