I just wanted to warn others about ordering Mi-Del ginger snap cookies from
Cecilia's Gluten-free Grocery Store.  My seven-year-old (Celiac) son loved
the Mi-Del chocolate chip and animal cookies we had bought from Cecilia's
previously, so I ordered a bag of every variety of cookie they had.  When
they arrived today, he immediately wanted to try a ginger snap.  I was about
to hand him one, when I noticed the bag said "ORGANIC WHEAT"!  I examined the
ingredients, and sure enough, the cookies are made with wheat flour.

It's tough enough trying to explain what gluten-free means to every waiter in
every restaurant, but to have a "gluten-free grocery store" send cookies made
with wheat flour . . .  I'm ready to explode.

I just feel lucky I noticed the writing before he had eaten any.
