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 everyone! I’m Schnikeys (she/her), and I found out a little more than a year ago that I was allergic to gluten, eggs, mushrooms, shellfish, and chia seeds. Which was devastating because I was having a bacon egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast literally every day up until then.

What's the last gluten-free thing you made with your own hands?
Chocolate chip cookies!! (It was vegan, which was a bad idea, so egg replacer instead of eggs, oat flour, and solid coconut oil in place of butter. I should have just used butter...)

What kind of foods do you like to prepare?
Things without a lot of dishes...

How much baking experience do you have?
almost none

What type of recipes are you interested in?
BAKED GOODS, PLEASE (also stuff without eggs, mushrooms, or chia seeds)

Are you here to post, comment, or just be a friendly lurker?
I’ll probably mostly lurk, but I might share a couple!

Hi! Not being able to eat eggs or one of the most common egg replacers must be really hard. Hopefully we'll have some baked good here you can try, like maybe these vegan spiced molasses cookies.

Thanks for introducing yourself!

Ooh, I'll have to try that out! Thank you! (And yeah, it's...a trip ;_; )
