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!

i don't know the science behind choux pastry, i just substituted the flour without a second thought. XD there's a lot of eggs in it, which is why i thought it would be fine, and well... it was. i'll get the post into the queue in a bit.

i have no idea how it's made, actually! i just know it's a sour dairy product, very cheese like. (if no quark is available, one can use fresh cream cheese instead in most cases.)
