Jared, good for you! Nothing like having a store of food on hand for whenever you might need it. Having a supply chain is one thing; being your own supply chain is much better!
I made rhubarb jam, and hubby likes it! :thSo I'm making more tomorrow.
Good luck with the rhubarb crisp in the Dutch Oven, Jared. Let us know how it goes.
I picked some rhubarb today to make jam. You mix chunks with sugar to macerate overnight in the fridge. Well... there are some stalks left over... What to do with them that doesn't take a lot of time, is gluten free, and I already have the ingredients?
Rhubarb Custard. Except the custard broke...
I baked a beautiful loaf of GF bread today. (It's chilly and therefore a good day to have the oven going!)
I had a "heel" sandwich. Fresh home made bread, still warm, with home made jam and PB. Life doesn't get any better than that!
I have a Hamilton Beach that is... okay. It was about $70. It said it had a GF cycle, but I got better results if I used the mix cycle and then used the bake cycle.
What's your budget, @fuzzi? There are top end ones that are $300-400, and less expensive ones that are under $100.
Check out yard sales and estate sales. My neighbor finds used bread machines for $10-20.
Oh, Jared, I am so sorry to hear this. A friend of mine has dealt with kidney stones since he was in his 20s.
Sending you healing hugs.
:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs
@jillybeansisme, welcome to the baking thread, and BYC! :frow
We talk a lot about baking, cooking and food in general, and other things as they pop up. Feel free to jump in on any conversation, or ask a question.
Well, I have to ask... what do they taste like? Are they crunchy in the PB?
But I've never heard "go eat an ant sandwich." Is that like, "go fly a kite"?
Is a Pullman loaf pan worth the cost? I'm thinking of getting one. I was wondering if it would help GF bread to hold its shape better as it rises and bakes.
