    Thanks! Sometimes when you have a bad cold you feel as though you deserve to be spoiled to bits and waited on. Still sick today so made gluten-free crispy crust pizza with all sorts of delicious toppings. It was incredible.

    I haven't eaten those sausages but if you are having trouble finding some, you are in luck! Do you ever go to the Strathcona Market Saturdays? If so, go to the Irvine Farms booth - all their sausages and stuff are gluten free and are amazing. We love them so much we actually drive three hours to get them. The producer is from northern England and is making...

    I've got a bad cold so took it very easy today. I made Chicken a la King with steamed peas. Strawberries with balsamic vinegar for dessert.

    Speaking of squat toilets, that is one of the nicer ones I have seen. One I saw literally was a pipe coming out of the floor. That's it.

    I echo Sylvia's sentiments. Making waffles from scratch gluten free is a very simple way to please your palate! When I first went gluten free I went on a gluten free binge which was not a good way to approach things. I ate a lot of processed foods, including waffles that tasted probably a little bit better than toilet paper. And the waffle squares...

    Both your stories are a great encouragement no matter what stage we all are at. Having a positive attitude as you do has a huge impact both on this forum and your healing. Great job!

    I have frozen gluten-free cakes successfully for up to two months but they are homemade so the texture would be vastly different. I have had no problems with icing the cakes after they are frozen.

    I don't do mixes but I think that coconut milk would be nice. Either that or make a lemon simple syrup and poke holes all over the top of the cake and drizzle over. Same goes with any simple syrup or even a caramel. Adding some sort of citrus zest would be another idea. Another thing I just thought of is cutting into circles (just using a glass) and making...

    When are you cooking this feast? I'm really, really into ethnic cooking.

    One additional quick suggestion - if you own an electric can opener, clean the disk/wheel thing very well as this could easily contaminate. I would also recommend cleaning the cutlery drawer thoroughly. I did not replace my baking stone as it was meticulously scrubbed. I did purchase new colanders, however, as well as a few fine-mesh sieves.

    Lamb with curry sauce is a splendid idea. Then you could dip the balls into that if you want. Chutneys are traditional but who says you must remain traditional? The balls can also be made with sweet potatoes - maybe an option for next time. Sometimes a little pickle (even a simple quick cucumber pickle) can be nice to add a touch of acidity...

    Do you have the pan for it? You can purchase it at Indian or specialty food shops. It makes the job easier; in fact, it is almost a necessity. Your other option is to deep fry which also works. Haven't made this particular recipe but have made others and they are GOOD!!! What are you serving them with? They are wonderful with coconut chutney or some...

    Oh, another tip. You can infuse honey with vanilla beans, too - it is glorious. I also like to infuse honey with various types of chile but that is another topic.

    The very one! I was wondering whether that would be mentioned. That bread was something special, that's for certain. Thank goodness it only takes a few minutes for all other breads I've tried.

    I bought myself a new crumb-free toaster oven as it is so nice to broil/heat, roast, etc. small quantities sometimes in addition to making toast. It is a Black and Decker and got it half price.

    It's not silly. I just happen to adore vanilla beans! You buy the beans first - look for the plumpest you can get. Then take a sharp knife and slice down the length of the bean. Scrape out the seeds by running the knife blade over the length of each bean - they are so tiny but you should end up with a little clump of them. You use these beans to put into...

    I always make my own vanilla extract and have used vodka or bourbon. I have not tried tequila but why not? Just allow it to sit for several weeks before trying it. Every time I use a vanilla bean, I toss the used one into the alcohol and just top it up a bit. This way I never run out. You can also flavour granulated sugar with spent vanilla beans...

    I've always been a good, confident baker and really know my food science so know what makes/doesn't make sense. That and tons of practice. This failure sure was a doozy! That thing is enough to give you nightmares!

    Oh, yes. It's funny - I probably bake at least 3-4 times per week (sometimes a few times in one day) and this is the first time I forgot the danged yeast! You know what's funny? It actually was the perfect shape/density for a stepping stone.

    What a joy to hear this. So glad you fell in love with Rome, as have I. My husband and I have been there several times now but could never, ever get sick of it. Well, except for the traffic and trying to dodge vespas. This is a great help for our next trip. Thanks lots!

    I'm usually super organized and could make focaccia blindfolded. I just left that one little container sitting there - somehow it was hiding on me. My next attempt is tomorrow but this time WITH the yeast! As I am a recipe tester I also line up ingredients like you. I just neglected one of the most important components!

    It is perfectly normal to go through a grieving process when handed something scary and unknown. The varied stages can certainly do include sadness. I went through shock, denial (I love food too much!), pity, anger, sadness and finally acceptance. It took me a long four months to get to that point but the positive thing is, I got there and here I am! ...
