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!

What's the last gluten-free thing you made with your own hands?

Hmm... The hubby should eat GF and my niece is both GF *and* dairy-free, which makes cooking for her kinda tough... but I still have a couple of the GF choc chip cookies in the freezer (does it count if I used a mix? ;-)

If your answer is "coffee," that's valid.

I knew this would be fun!

What kind of foods do you like to prepare?

I'm pretty omnivorous, so cook that way... I do more cooking (meals) than baking, since both the hubby and I can stand to lose weight and if the baked goods aren't there, we won't eat them

How much baking experience do you have?

Pretty extensive... like, I can make a lemon meringue pie from scratch, if I want to... crust, lemon filling and meringue...

What type of recipes are you interested in?

Open to new things... I tend to make 'safe' things that the hubby likes, heaven forbid I change something... ;-) But always looking for options.

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

Mostly will be a friendly lurker but I will comment when appropriate!

If you are going to lurk friendily, please say hi just this once. We'll say hi back.

Hello!

Happy to have you here! And using a mix absolutely counts. Because having cookies is always better than not having cookies. :D

GF & DF cooking makes going GF look easy. But there's a bunch of us here who are both, so hopefully you'll find something awesome for your niece. <3
