gluten-free eats

Hi, I'm Fred-Mouse, and I answer to Fred, Mouse, Fred-Mouse, and my wallet name (although I prefer to keep that away from Fannish spaces). Preferred pronouns are they/them.

Hmm. I'm going to ignore tisanes and reheating pre-cooked items in answering the question of the most recent gf thing I made, and list the dessert I made on the weekend, which was approximately an apple crisp. Chopped apples (Gala), covered with a mix that started out one cup of mystery (definitely gf) flour, half a cup of cocoa (probably Dutched?), and a generous amount of cinnamon. This was stirred together with rice-bran oil, and when it made a loose paste, the same volume of puffed grain (millet? quinoa? whatever was in the cupboard). And then baked. Tasty. The apples do the sweet.

I've been cooking gf since the mid-90s; eating gf for the last decade (or more). I despair of most gf mixed flours, because they aren't as good as the mixes I used to make, but I've lost a lot of my oomph when baking, and do a lot of throwing things in a pan and hoping. While I intend o post about the successes, it requires me to remember, and have time and oomph to do so.
