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 Allen (he/him pronouns are usually fine). Not GF myself, but my partner has a wheat allergy, so I end up doing a lot of GF cooking.

Last gluten-free thing I made... Well, it was really two things, since I made them at the same time: a New-York style cheese pizza and a peach/blueberry pie with crumb topping. That would be last night, for Pi day.

Baking experience started in college when I started making buttermilk biscuits. Nowadays I mostly make a lot of pie, plus pancakes and biscuits sometimes. (Pancakes go GF really easily; biscuits I'm still working on.)

Favorite pie is either Blackberry Silk or Sour Cherry.

Welcome

I've been longing for GF buttermilk biscuits for more than a decade--I hope your experiments succeed and you share.

That sounds like an excellent way to celebrate Pi day. Welcome!
