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 finally made it over! I'm Spikedluv and answer to she/her. I'm here because my S.O. (lovingly called Pip) has been GF for about four and one-half years now.

What's the last gluten-free thing you made with your own hands? It's not the last thing we've eaten, but the last thing I had to put some effort into: coffee cake (a King Arthur recipe).

What kind of foods do you like to prepare? Simple foods. I'm not much of a cook.

How much baking experience do you have? Just the infrequent household baking, but I'm not an experimenter usually. I'm a recipe-follower. *g*

What type of recipes are you interested in? I'll know it when I see it? A mix between dinners and desserts.

Are you here to post, comment, or just be a friendly lurker? Hopefully to post and comment.

My favorite pie is probably a tie between raspberry and lemon meringue.

So good to have you here, Spikedluv! And oh my gosh, raspberry pie sounds delicious. For some reason I never even thought of putting raspberries in a pie.

I adore raspberry pie (especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream), but I've never made it myself, lol! I'm not a baker of pies. I've started asking for it for my birthday. One year my mom tried to pull one over on me and made a mixed berry pie. I was eating it, trying to smile, thinking, omg, this is the ~worst raspberry pie I've ever eaten!! I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but the joke was on me.
