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 kelkyag (she/whatever).

Red sauce with assorted veggies. (Which would've been a fine component of the last thing I made that was deliberately GF, which was lasagna.)

I like making food. I lean toward things that tolerate improvising madly (or use up whatever's in the fridge and needs to be cooked), but occasionally do follow a fussy recipe precisely.

Moderate, mostly non-fancy and not GF.

Whatever turns up and intrigues. The folks in my life who need gluten-free food are irregulars; the restrictions I'm more often cooking for are allium-free, nightshade-free, or vegan.

Lurking or commenting? I was just taking a peek in response to the post in omnomnom and apparently couldn't resist opining.

Apple, or sometimes fresh peach.

Great to have you here! I know we've got several folks who avoid alliums, and there's a bunch of vegans, so hopefully you'll find some overlap in the recipes posted.
