i'd never even heard of lupine flour before, and
even if i had i'd never think of it with respect
to a peanut allergy (and that's only part of
the story).


:-((((( If I was in the US, I certainly wouldn't be eating any poultry
that I hadn't raised, killed and gutted myself:

We've just had cases in Aus of problems with peanut butter from China. I
now have instructions from 'He Who Would Like to Be Obeyed' to only ever
buy Australian made peanut butter.

People around here think I'm crazy because I read labels on ALL food. If
it's not from a country I trust I don't buy it. Anything from China is
NEVER purchased whether it is food or anything else. It's not that I
hate the Chinese, I just hate their way of doing business.

I don't eat at Red Lobster either, their shrimp and fish come from China
according to folks who have looked into it. Thanks to USDA labels have
to have country of origin on them.

I just discovered two large yellow squash and four very large zucchini
hiding under the squash leaves. Looks like some more stuff to put up
tomorrow. Still no ripe tomatoes but the green bean vines are covered
with pencil size pods, won't be long to canning time.
