Prompt: Introductions

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!

Wow, those look truly great. Do the all-almond-flour ones crunch?

The 5-spice powder is an intriguing direction for a cookie.

No, they've got that sort of chewy snap to them that you get with gingersnaps/brandysnaps.

Yes, I like the results so far! Oh, I forgot: this time I also added a tsp of cocoa powder, which seems to add to the flavour without being overly chocolate-y.
