I live up here in the arctic north lol its been below 0 for several days cant get warm!! Reminds me of when I was a child and wanted a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup for dinner. I just bought a cuisinart panini maker so i thought with this chill I would make cookies to warm up my kitchen and try my hand at a nice pannini. I went to the natural food store because as we have established I can not have any of the deli meat at our store since it has the seasonings that contain MSG. They dont have fresh sliced deli meat but have packaged meat so I looked at all the ingredients and boy am I confused! I chose a ham that has no nitrates made me happy they also have a salami!!!! :)!! So I looked at the chicken and Turkey thought I could mix it up like a turkey and ham and cheese or something since I can't have bacon. Sigh they both said carageenan however it did say made with seaweed. hmmmm this is new to me. Afraid very afraid of a reaction I did not buy this choose to look it up. the store owner was not around so I didn't have any one to ask. I googled carageenen made by seaweed the results that I got was a site that said that carageenen is made by seaweed its a thickening agent. sigh I have been avoiding everything with that ingredient. One list that I found about the possible sources of MSG says carageenan is a POSSIBLE source not always ok so how do you know? I guess if it says made from sea weed you know I suppose. This is sooo frustrating!! i will do more research!! I also bought some soy sauce that is MSG free my son wants to make us beef and broccoli and I was afraid because I read that all soy sauce had MSG. This was a good find. I dont have to worry about hurting his feelings now
