Knitter? Annoyed by the GF posts? Skip down to the *** for a message. Working off of last week’s recap of my fave GF recipes… Once again, I found myself going to a Friday dinner where my son and I wouldn’t be able to eat the challah. Once again, I went to the Interwebs. I love the growth of this blob monster, I really do. Two years ago I found a challah recipe or two: results=eh. A year ago I found more. Results=better....

I thought it might be a good idea to create a clearing-house of useful gluten free information and recipes. Obviously, this all comes under the category of “stuff I liked,” but I’m kinda picky. And I cook a lot so I’ve tested many recipes. Some failures, many successes, but a few stand out–and those are what I’ll put here. French bread: Hands down, Fire and Salt’s is the best.

A frightening number of friends of mine have gotten ill lately. We’re all generally of a certain age (post 35, shall we say…) and all getting oddly ill. Kind of out of the blue. To refresh–I had hand tremors for 2-1/2 years, the need for Prevacid for 1-1/2 years, then suddenly 9 weeks of migraine (not migraineS–one loooong migraine. No joke). My MOTHER (not a doctor) diagnosed the gluten problem. I’ve been gluten...

Cinnamon Sticky Rolls Oven or Crock Pot Method. If you’ve seen my gluten free posts before then you know I love (a) Jules Flour and (b) finding a good cinnamon roll recipe. Now I’ve got both. AND a really great blog-hop to boot! Remember last year when I participated in the Dickens of a Christmas Blog Hop? Well, this is similar, but with nifty prizes and great recipes. At the bottom of the intro text to the Sticky Roll recipe...

The husband always liked Starbucks Cinnamon Chip Scones (I know. Evil Empire. Yada yada yada… they still were the only ones willing to make me a decaf soy latte when I was nursing–the locally owned shops in Brooklyn told me back then that “soy won’t foam right” and REFUSED to make me a drink! So. Starbucks won my vote back then.) Anyway. I digress. I started my hunt for homemade cinnamon chips. And the hunt ended...

I’ve been designing a design that makes my other designs look like scrap paper. I’m not proud. I’m just honest. It’s complicated stranded colorwork, includes steeks and plackets and all sorts of hardware and things and it might kill both me and my test knitter, but gosh darn it, it’s for a friend and it’s important. So. While that’s killing me softly, I decided to eat. Scones. The weather has turned;...
