I've lived on rice, and believe me, although i've never had it,
Wheatina and eggs was a much better way to go! Wheatina sounds like
my instant pudding recipe. I don't know if you have this stuff in the
US, but Instant Pudding is this powdered "stuff" you usually make
with milk and set in the fridge. But really weird things happen to it
if you bake it for a while. You end up with this rubbery stuff that
fills you up after a couple of tablespoons--for days!
Actually, the more i think about this the more on topic it
seems....I'm sure if you baked it for an extra hour, you'd end up
with the original Leica Vulcanite. Mark, you want to see if we can
get some of that all-pervasive Venture Capital money out of the Bay
area?
Take care,
Gary
