    Sylvia,.......I have one more question for you! LOL My mixer was on the porch when I pulled in a few minutes ago. Like anything big from Amazon, there is no receipt just like you said. What did you print off to send in with the rebate form? Did you print the e-mail order confirmation, or did you log into your account and print an invoice from there...

    Wow,....if looks mean anything, that 'looks' great!

    WooHoo,.....my mixer is due here tomorrow from the tracking info! Better get myself to that Mother Earth place later today or tomorrow so I can try something right away. Sylvia, I used to hunt, but gave it up 15 years ago or more. So I would only be trying to make small amounts from good cuts of meat. I buy a lot of bison from a family ranch in...

    Ditto on the garlic bread idea! I am going to try the Pamela's mix for my first attempt, and since I can get it locally I can find out what flours that same store carries. I have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer that might help with storage of my 'bricks.' LOL Either way I still am glad I went the mixer route. Even if after much trying, I can still make...

    Those buns look really good, as does that last recipe. Seems my problem is going to remain the sandwiches for lunch while working. Even the person that made the bun recipe said they are only good for the first day,........possibly the second. This seems to be the big issue with any gluten-free bread product. Looks like I may have to start making something...

    Sylvia,....I took the free shipping obviously, and the projected window is 8/11 to 8/16. I have always found that Amazon ships out far quicker than their projected dates when you choose free shipping. Obviously they are trying to convince you to upgrade your shipping choice! LOL I can get Bob's Red Mill products at Publix, but as I said earlier...

    Like you, there are no Whole Foods or places like it around here. I don't live in the boons per se, but I guess it isn't quite big enough here to attract the specialty stores. I have no clue about Asian markets as I am not into Oriental food but I will check. There IS a place here called Mother Earth, that I have heard is like a smaller version of...

    Well then, I hope I didn't offend your pooch Sylvia! I have never seen the Pamela's Products line around here. I CAN find Bob's Red Mill items, and I tried that pizza crust mix originally, mixed by hand of course. I thought it was pretty bad,.....I think I ate 2 slices and threw the rest out in the 'woods' for the animals to eat. I can also get...

    Yes,.....it is ordered already. I didn't order anything else right now, as it says the mixer will ship separately anyway. I have ordered tons of stuff from Amazon over the years and have always been happy with them. That's why I was kind of surprised to see they had spammed this site before when I posted that link at the beginning. The pan I was...

    You are right about the prices changing,......just logged into Amazon to order it, and it's now $209.35! A few bucks cheaper, but I am ordering it right after this. Thanks for that rebate offer as well. Mine does qualify, so it will end up costing me about 179 bucks! I saved the PDF already. I read in one recipe that they recommended a 9X4X4...
  11. Marc49
    Yes,....it is a dilemma, but I think I have made up my mind! I looked at that Zo bread machine one more time as well, since it is about the same price as the Kitchenaid Artisan mixer. Negatives for me on the bread machine are: According to reviews it does a bad job of browning the top. Second is the 'paddle holes' that I guess you get from all machines...
  12. Marc49
    Thanks for all of the input folks! I am looking at the one Sylvia has, and also the Cuisinart SM-55. Sylvia,...if you get a chance could you take a look at that one and give me your opinion? It is on Amazon, or I would post the link. A few bucks more, but not much. 800 watts instead of 325, and seems to have some other features as well as a...

    One last question for you Sylvia! Have you been able to make a loaf of gluten-free bread that is 'normal' size or close to it? Those tiny slices aren't good for a guy that has to pack his lunch. A 'finger sandwich' doesn't do much! I am doing some searching right now for a mixer and pans. If you have pan recommendations I would appreciate that...
  14. Marc49
    Sylvia,.....thanks once again. I guess I have a lot to learn about baking. Always thought you had to knead bread by hand and form it into a loaf? That recipe for french bread looks like you just use a mixer and spoon it into the pan? Also,....when you use your mixer, do you use standard 'mixer' blades, or a dough hook? You can see I am probably...
  15. Marc49
    Well,....changed my mind about the Bready machine! I found a couple of video reviews and the folks that tested it were not impressed with the results of the bread anyway. They said the machine itself was amazing, but the mixes needed a lot of work. Very small, short loaves, and they said you could knock someone out with the bread a day after it was...

    Sylvia,....that one book you mentioned is the one I was considering getting wuth a bread machine. I am really torn on this. I don't really want to order, and store several different kinds of flour along with other ingredients, but at the same time most here seem to say that the prepared mixes stink. I see if you were to buy 25 pounds of that Pamela...
  17. Marc49
    Thanks for that model number! I think having a gluten-free setting is important as the dough has to be stiffer I would think. How does that premixed Bob's red mill stuff taste BTW, and does it need to be toasted to be edible like the frozen stuff? Like I said in the OP, all I have found so far that is edible to me is the Udi's bagels, and I finally...
  18. Marc49
    Sylvia,......I am torn between a machine, or a mixer and pans like you use. I'm just afraid that the manual method might take more time, and make more mess than I would be willing to deal with. At the same time I hate to buy a machine if none of the recipes in some of these gluten-free books can be used in them. I certainly am not a good enough baker...
  19. Marc49
    Sorry for the link to the site,....I had no idea. Anyway what you left still shows the make and model number.
  20. Marc49
    I haven't been here for awhile, but for those that remember me I think I have finally decided to get a bread machine. I have basically just eliminated bread from my diet, as I can't stand the commercially available products. Udi's bagels, and their hamburger buns are about the only thing I can handle. I think the bagels are fine, and the buns are...
  21. Marc49
    Sylvia,....that is exactly the price that was listed as retail on the insert they sent me. I can't remember what I paid when I found it at Winn-Dixie before though. All I can say is I hope that any of you fine folks that choose to try this because of my thread REALLY enjoy it. Pasta is down,......now I still have bread and tortillas to deal with...
  22. Marc49
    That is for sure,.....now you're making me nervous! I hope nobody buys this stuff and hates it.
  23. Marc49
    The woman I spoke to was the 'supermarket sales manager' I believe. She said they are in Winn-Dixie, Krogers, and Wegmans. They are trying to get into Publix in July. All we have down south is Winn-Dixie and Publix out of those. They closed down the big Winn-Dixie when the corporation ran into trouble, so the smaller store does not carry any variety...

    I have no doubt that celiac can cause muscle wasting due to malabsorption of protein and necessary nutrients. Just pointing out that a lot of other things can cause it as well. As before though, if your protein levels in your general bloodwork are good then that should rule out malabsorption I would think. I lost about 10 pounds of muscle myself due to...
  25. Marc49
    All you can do is try it, but I would be surprised if you didn't like it. I am definitely 'picky' per se, and I don't like that distinct corn taste in most things. I can't taste corn when I eat this,.......I have no idea how they manage it. GlutenFreeManna, I never thought of looking at Big Lots for this stuff, but I sure will check there now,.....
