As I roamed the aisles of the grocery store I caught myself swearing. Wasting precious moments looking for sunflower kernels. The trouble was not finding them, but finding some that were not contaminated with wheat starch. Baffled at this phenomenon in itself, I finally ran into an employee. Out of sheer desperation, I asked the question. The lady with the frizzy blonde hair says with a sneer, "Oh, well I guess you're probably going to have to learn to live without!" She's lucky I had already wasted my allotted time searching in the first place! Generally ignorance does not grant a reaction on my part.
While in my kitchen making the best Spinach Salad ever, I was thinking about living without. There was a time I felt deprived, cheated and defeated. Mmmmmm.... I love the crunch of sunflower kernels in my salad. I'm glad I persevered today.
