That's really impressive. I can tell that took some effort. Go you. I really should start being creative in the kitchen again. I sort of need somebody to feed though, I can't be bothered if just me, so get really lazy with cooking.

Hey! You made glutenfree donuts!!! I didn't even know that was possible. I am deeply impressed! Wow, this made me want to have a donut.... I have actually never tasted donuts(well... obviously, since I didn't know it was possible to make them gluten free) good for you I don't live in your neighborhood, cause if I did, I know where I would go for breakfast(are donuts really seriously breakfast-food anyway?)

Hmmm... I hate it when it just turns out dry...(and sadly it often does in my experience) I guess the applesauce would make the batter thinner, but I would also assume it should add some moisture to the finished donut. Maybe the use of almond flour as she suggested in the recipe would do the trick? Almond flour usually makes things a bit softer and less dry since it adds some fat. Buckwheat and gluten free oat also works quite well in muffins and stuff, makes it a bit less dry and also adds fiber, nutrients, and other healthy stuff....oh, and psyllium fiber! Usually batters and doughs turn out thinner when made gluten free, and that is just an advantage, because it usually makes the finished product less dry. But bread dough and other doughs made with yeast are usually really sticky as well. I've baked without gluten since I was a kid, but I still find it challenging, and definitely don't succeed every time. Thanks for sharing the donut recipe... think I might try to make them sometime!

Well, I think you're doing a great job mcrx! Gf cooking gets easier as time passes by... but I also think we learn to appreciate good food when we actually succeed. But you're right! Making dry bread for one person just really isn't worth the effort... so I usually end up making wholegrain pancakes, tortillas or something else I know will succeed, so even the gluten-eaters in my family can enjoy it. In my everyday life I hardly even think of dietary restrictions anymore... so... keep up the good work, it will get easier, but occasionally our baked goods will be terribly dry!!! Or at least it has been for me, so far. Let me know if you ever figure out the big secret of how to prevent it.

Meri and I got refused entry to the Natural History Museum on Monday as we were in Halloween costumes. That's a brave thing to do to two 'Hannibal' fans...

Has anyone ever had romanesco? I just had it for the first time in my farm share and I'm now obsessed!!! Love it! Steamed, raw and oven baked! Tastes great with everything! I imagine it would be great in a soup as well... but haven't tried it yet. There's a plan for tomorrow!

I'm reheating the last of the tomato based veg soup I had donated from my mum, which I then added more stock, red wine and some bacon to for extra flavour. I wish more of my family liked mushrooms as I'd have loaded them in.

I have never eaten this. I just saw it on the shelf at the grocery the other say. Is this popular across the pond? The name caught me off guard. Is it just cake in a can?

One of our famous British traditional puddings, like sticky toffee pudding or bread and butter pudding. Pure stodge, but lovely with custard on a cold day. Can't say I've ever eaten one out of a can though!

Yeah that's what folk loved to eat in the 50's and 60's. Good old Spotted Dick! Proper pud, before fast food. But yeah? Cake in a can. Well you can by frozen and dried mash potatoes so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
