oh my gosh,.....I am SO excited (and only you ladies would understand lol)! I had been purchasing red mill almond meal from the grocery store at 9.99 per 16 oz. EXPENSIVE! I went into one of our farmers market in town, which also carry that brand, but they also had their own own grinded almond meal.

drum roll please......3.99 per lb. Momma is a HAPPY CAMPER! I tried it out this morning and it is not skinless like red mill, but the flavor is still the same! I will be going back up there to ask about bulk purchasing so I can seal it in vac pack bags. I can't even buy just the nuts to do it myself for that price!

I recently made Gluten Free Crabcakes:

I use a lot of Crab in my recipe, didn't weigh it (DH shells it, freezes the crab w/water in ziplock bags). I used 1 full ziplock bag of Crab:

2 Farm Fresh Eggs, beaten
Quinoa instead of any type of bread crumbs (precooked Quinoa)
Fresh Cut Chives (I use extra)
Dill & S & P

I formed patties, placed in hot iron skillet (I use my own Pork Lard), put lid on, browned one side, finished browning other side with lid off (this made them hold together better).

They were excellent!

Quinoa is tasty. Expensive, though. I want to plant some, but am terribly behind on the garden this spring.

I was invited to tea at a neighbor's house a few days ago. Very interesting woman. Before I realized it, or could say anything, she had broken out an expensive looking box of fancy thin ginger cookies and spilled them into a bowl. I hate when stuff like this happens, and since I never socialize, I have awkward social skills. One of the cookies was broken in half, so I took the smaller half, and nibbled on it, and explained THE PROBLEM. Fortunately, I didn't get a stomach ache.

LOL- Not more expensive than a ziplock bag of solid crab meat...Dungeness no less! Actually, we get Organic Quinoa at Costco, not expensive at all. Since we are eating "Paleo" style, AND Gluten Free, we buy zero junky stuff. We also have grown most of our own fruits/veggies, and this year, will exceed more than we can consume by far. I am sorry you are behind, felt that way myself, then my DS came to help me with weeding, and by that evening, I was in turbo-gardening mode, made up for lost time...

That is, until this morning, when I took a fall, ooops, and would have been fine had my forehead not struck the steel chair on my garden cabin deck. My first reaction was to sit there and contemplate what I had just done, not realizing I had gashed my forehead, thought I just hit it hard My first clue was blood trickling down the side of my face... DH came out, saw me sitting there from across the backyard, and called out, "Honey are you hurt or just sitting there?" This about made me laugh, as there was no way he could hear my response (he is hard of hearing even with hearing aids). I motioned to him over; he helped me up and told me, "Honey, you look like you were in a car wreck!" Yes, there was blood all over one side of my face, my neck, all over my clothes, gee where did it all come from? I walked back in our home, with DH, now past his initial shock and concerned for me. I cleaned myself up, and was relieved to see I could get away with butterflying it, nice gauge, though. So, this dern fall put an end to the gardening work outside, anyway. So, I spent hours today, transplanting Tomato & Cucumber seedlings.

DS is coming over in a few days to help me and I should be healed enough to get right back to work.

Sorry to hear about that, as it can be ackward at times. I skipped the muffins at Church today, due to being off sugar, mainly. We choose to go Gluten Free, but not because we have to. DH lost 18#s since going off Gluten! He had been working out steadily for months, and his weight wouldn't budge, then went of Gluten, and there you go.

Ouch! Take care of yourself, Christie.

Thanks, fortunately this is a very rare thing for me! I am still rather frustrated in losing a few days doing my gardening work, but at least the seeds will all get planted (what I am starting indoors or in my greenhouse only)

gluten free flatbread/tortillas

1 1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1 cup arrowroot powder
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup oil

warm water- 3/4-1 1/2 cup depending on need



i do not have a tortilla press, so i just roll mine out

mix the dry ingredients first to blend well. mixin the wet ingredients until it makes a tacky ball, not too sticky. form small balls of dough and place under a damp cloth. roll out or use tortilla press. use oat flour for dusting. cook on a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds each side. put under a damp cloth while all are being made. store in a ziplock or other sealed container. these WILL stay soft and pliable for days
