I once had diet cookies for my allergies with no soy and they are generally also no gluten....trust me...you would prefer eating an arugula and mushy banana salad over those cardboard things...even the chocolate chips taste wrong. The whole box just went in the garbage...no amount of milk could even save that.

Our weather is odd. We have this saying here, if you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes. It doesn't generally get this hot...between 20 and 30 is our general summer temp. Winter tho....gross the cold is cold. -20 to -30 is the norm and we get a few weeks of -40 something but it's dry cold so it's not too bad. I mean not my favorite but I have hiked in -46...as long as you know how to dress it's almost tolerable.
