I am finally doing better. I have given my husband the news that our baked treats will be gluten free he wasn't exited but he is willing to try. I think I will get it down and who knows he might actually like it. : ) I am going to try using the dishwasher for my dishes too It probably won't be any worse than leaving them out in the dish rack on the cupboard...
