I now have to cook Gluten Free, due to medical reasons and THANK GOODNESS, it has come so far in the last 10 years.  In 1989, I was a Food Technologist for Wendys International.  I developed new menu items and answered phone questons about their nutritional analysis.  Many calls came in requesting information concerning Gluten Free menu items.  There weren't many items on the menu!  Parents had little choices, except to use rice flour and make their own foods.  THANK THE GOOD LORD, I do not have to make everything from scratch and grind my own flour :):):)  I have better things to do, sorry, but we all have our strengths.  If my family had to depend on me Growing the RICE, Harvesting the RICE and grinding for RICE Flour, they would be starving!!
