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!

Hi, I'm Indywind or Indy.
Here via rec from rydra_wong, lured in by the encouraging community guidelines.
3rd-person pronouns and I have a contentious relationship and I prefer none but that's super awkward; feel free to use on me any set that are respectful to refer to humans.

I like making all kinds of foods. I have a fair bit of experience baking, including with major ingredient substitutions or separate versions, GF and other (most of my friends have differing restrictions/issues and I like us to all have things we can eat together safely and comfortably). Have not figured out what to substitute for spoons, though, and lately I am low on them. I'm interested in lower effort recipes for now, and maybe some more involved or creative stuff to daydream about trying later.

The last GF thing I made was tea picadillo and roasted sweet potatoes. The last GF baking was banana muffins, one batch plain, one batch with double banana, walnuts, pecans, and cinnamon chips.

I'll probably mostly lurk, occasionally comment, rarely post.
I don't have a favorite pie, but I would like to share with y'all the super easy vegan GF chocolate silk pie that that my cousin-in-law introduced me to. So I'll post about that at least.

Mmmmm chocolate silk pie

....and a spoon substitute would be SO handy.

Is your B-I-L's pie a variation on Tofu Pie?

Welcome! And it's nice to hear you found the community guidelines encouraging. I really want this to be a comfortable space for everybody.
