Prompt: Introductions

[runpunkrun]

Hello, gluten-free friends and family! It is I, Punk, speaking to you with my words. If you haven't already, please read the community guidelines for your safety and mine.

If I can keep my act together, I'll be posting a weekly discussion topic to prompt conversation about gluten-free cooking. This week I thought we could introduce ourselves and do some light mingling.

Let's do name, rank, and preferred pronouns. And maybe answer one or more of the following questions:

• What's the last gluten-free thing you made with your own hands?
• If your answer is "coffee," that's valid.
• What kind of foods do you like to prepare?
• How much baking experience do you have?
• What type of recipes are you interested in?
• Are you here to post, comment, or just be a friendly lurker?
• If you are going to lurk friendily, please say hi just this once. We'll say hi back.

Also, as the comm opened on Pi day (3.14), why not tell us your favorite pie?

Come join me in the comments!

Everything I make and eat is gluten free. The kiddos still eat sandwiches on real bread plus cereal and poptarts, but just about everything in the house is gluten free.

I don't do a lot of baking. I didn't bake before I found out I have celiac in 2016, so I'm not really comfortable with all the extra steps gluten free baking seems to require because I'm not really comfortable with baking with gluten. LOL I am looking forward to reading the comm for baking ideas.

I do cook a lot, though. Tonight we had lentils simmered in chicken broth with onion and a jar of my dad's home canned tomatoes (OMG, so good) seasoned with curry and tumeric and garlic and ginger, served really soupy over rice. It was amazing.

Oh, man. You are so, so right. My dad is like a tomato wizard. LOL I've never had a tomato anywhere that taste as good as the ones he grows.

I'm so happy to see you here! And your dinner sounds delicious.

Thank you on both counts!!
