Laughter

I have to say that laughter really is good for the soul. I have been feeling so much better since I have stopped eating gluten. I had no idea how crummy I felt before I became gluten free. However, being gluten free and corn free does pose some challenges. Most people who can't eat gluten eat lots of corn and that isn't going to work for my body, so I'm constantly trying to figure out substitutions for corn. I came across a substitution list on allrecipes.com and was quite impressed. The one that struck me was a substitution for corn syrup. By using water and sugar you get the same basic results. All at once I thought to myself, "Hey, now I can have Dennis' homemade caramel corn." About 20 seconds later I realized that I still can't have the popcorn even if I made a substitute for the corn syrup. I shared this story with Mom and she laughed and laughed. Then I shared it with Dennis and it took him about 20 seconds to realize what was wrong with that scenario. Thought I'd give you something to smile about as well.
