    You could also make brownies with it. White rice flour is used for tempura and is decent for lightly breading things before baking/frying (with Parmesan, herbs and spices for chicken, for example). You can also use it for a roux or bechamel sauce or to thicken other sauces. Karen is right - for most baking you would definitely need a higher-protein...

    That is awesome! No matter what it is, even what seems impossible at the time, it applies. Sometimes it helps to change how we look at things, too. And you are right - anything is possible. I still cannot believe I can fly long haul with extreme pain. It seems as though I am being stretched on the rack until the breaking point at the time but so far...

    You're too funny (and sweet at the same time!). I'll have to google young JT Kirk. If he is a good fit, he is in!

    Most definitely. They would have to have hearts of stone. Or just been glutened!

    I am soooo not a Star Trek fan as my least favourite genre is sci fi. People and object thingers dressed up in tinfoil (what is that gold thing's name?) and getting beamed up somewhere??!! I don't get it. But honestly. I am happy for those who do get enjoyment from it. It makes me happy to see others happily anticipate something they love! Wait...

    I also love lavender and use it in glazes for duck, for example. I also make lavender lime jelly and other preserves with it. Chives are so hardly they survive as perennials where I live! Now that cannot be beat. We are even colder than Siberia. I grow many herbs as well but my favourite standbys are chives, rosemary (which must be grown as annuals...

    Me, too. I snuck a quick peek as well. How adorable!

    Slight change in plans. My poor body is hurting like mad after planting some containers with flowers so I opted to eat an ENTIRE 8" focaccia! I could not help myself. Then I had about a billion cherries and several hundred green pearl grapes. No D yet!

    I love pineapple mint. Have you tried orange mint? It is nice as well. But pineapple has got to be my favourite for lemonade, granitas, etc.
  10. love2travel
    Yes - I thought of cutting and pasting but was too tired and just plain lazy.
  11. love2travel
    Maybe start with an easier bread such as focaccia. Have you tried making that?

    For some odd reason, I was unable to add something in my post above. Anyway, my attitude is what needed to be changed. I moped, I sulked, I cried, I even screamed a couple of times. Not in public, don't worry. When I realized it was not the death sentence I first suspected, things became easier. In fact, my focus gradually was no longer celiac or...

    Hi ABQ, There are so many kind, compassionate and caring people on this board that we are almost like family! Heck, we ARE family - we have celiac in common. We are just responding truthfully. I have been gluten free for 25 months and honestly I miss good bread, croissants, chewy bagels, phyllo pastry...But then I have always been a baker and...

    There were several more dishes to the menu but I did not post them all. They were all spectacular! Spider crab is a delicacy in the Mediterranean and is delicious. It is sweet and succulent - fairly different from soft shell crab in both looks and taste. You must try it. I was too busy focusing on the food to take pictures of the chef and thought...

    Alone tonight so am having mixed baby greens with toasted pepitas, almonds, dried apricots, Parmesan shards and orange Dijon vinaigrette. Am also making rosemary focaccia to dip into grassy, peppery green Croatian olive oil with a generous sprinkling of Mediterranean sea salt.

    I think I may have mentioned it twice before, perhaps once in 2011 and once in 2012. Something like that.

    Ummm...yeah. Croatians are often tall, usually have dark hair with olive skin and lovely Slavic cheekbones. We tipped well - wonder if he'd join us willingly at the compound??? Their accents make my legs turn rubbery. You would be so impressed with how well I am learning the language. It is known to be one of the most difficult grammatically there...

    Irish kindly told me about this dreadful news when we were in Croatia. Talk about shocking and so very sad. She leaves a void and will dearly be missed by so many who cherished her. She was so helpful and kind and witty; yet she told it straight when necessary. I appreciate that. I bet she touched more lives than she realized. Words cannot adequately...

    You took the words right out of my mouth. Calling it "food" is a bit of a stretch.
  20. love2travel
    Yes, it was another stupendous trip. The chef had me at squid, too. After one quick glance, I sort of noticed that he was hot rather nice looking, if you like tall, dark and handsome with a thick accent. Usually I do not notice these things... but this time it could not be helped.

    As many of you know, food and travel are my obsessions. Trying new foods for the first time absolutely thrills me. I am open to trying anything once (unless it is illegal or endangered or unethical). This trip we went to a place on Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations". He said it was truly amongs the best food he had ever put into his mouth. We placed...

    I have 22 different kinds of flour in our freezers as I find very specific attributes for various types of baked goods. For example, garfava is great when you require the strength of high protein such as pizza crust that you can actually roll out, not just slap down on the pan. So many things are incredibly easy to make gluten free including brownies...

    Red Wine Vinegar and Red Wine Braised Chicken Thighs (with a host of wondrous flavours) Smashed Roasted Garlic and Chive Potatoes Minted Peas Homemade Focaccia with Caramelized Onions and Rosemary

    I also enjoy using masa harina in many ways; especially in Latin-inspired recipes but not always.

    The most expensive I have seen thus far was $10 at a farmer's market for one 8x4 loaf. Yikes!
