 RH>> We're doing a bit of financial rejuggling to accomodate car
 RH>> payments now.
 NB>> Hmmmm...  maybe time to rethink what you might need coming in,
 NB>> then... ;)

 RH> We'll see how things settle out over the next few months. Right now
 RH> the freezer is still quite full, fresh veggies are available at the
 RH> farmer's market, have lots of wheat to grind into flour, etc.

So you have a good supply and not need a lot for groceries... :)
 
 RH>> Traded our 09 Escape on a 16 model so we can tow a small (Casita)
 RH>> mobile unit. The 09 Escape doesn't have enough "oomph" to tow anything
 RH>> over 2000 lbs; we needed something a bit stronger.
 NB>> Thinking towards a trip west, then...?  Or just traveling in
 NB>> general...?

 RH> Both, actually.

The one brought the thoughts to the fore, the other reinforced it...

 RH>>> something like 18 grams of carbs per cup as compared to 96 or
 RH>>> thereabouts for sugar makes it easier on my system.
 NB>>> Sounds like they aren't adding a lot of the maltodextrin,
 NB>>> either, then...  :)
 RH>> No, just enough that it had to be added on the package labelling.
 NB>> And apparently enough to give some benefit in baking...  :)

 RH> Maybe to make it more equal in volume to sugar; I'm not sure.

Or to help things brown... had you used the basic stevia in baking
previously, so as to know how it worked out...?
 
 NB>>> It won't be long before she'll be eating regular people foods...
 NB>>> ;)  And you'll be back to making at least some things gluten-free
 NB>>> to accommodate her...  ;)
 RH>> Wr'll see how that plays out in the future.
 NB>> True...  :)

 RH> Saga to be continued...............
 
As the child grows up...  ;)

 NB>>> Meanwhile, at our church's annual Thanksgiving (regular November
 NB>>> second sunday) dinner, there were lots of non-gluten
 NB>>> alternatives, including a non-gluten apple pie that my sister
 NB>>> made... Tony was ecstatic over it... told her she'd hit a home run
 NB>>> with that one... ;)
 RH>> Hit a home run for him, struck out for you.
 NB>> I didn't mind... there were plenty of other options for me... :)
 NB>> Lydia made a pumpkin pie, an apple pie, the gluten-free apple pie,
 NB>> and a mixed berry (strawberry, raspberry and blackberry) pie. 

 RH> The mixed berry one would have been my first choice; Steve would have
 RH> made a beeline for the pumpkin.

Mommy took the pumpkin... :)  And as I said, I went for the mixed berry
(after making sure that no apple had been slipped in there)...
 
 NB>> And someone(s) else had made a pecan pie, and a couple of other
 NB>> fancy pies; and there were also a couple of gluten-free "crumbles",
 NB>> one apple, one pumpkin... With a big bowl of real whipped cream
 NB>> (supplied by Lydia), and a couple of 3-pt vanilla ice cream
 NB>> cartons...  :)  I had a slice of the pecan pie with the whipped
 NB>> cream, and a slice of the mixed berry pie... didn't really miss
 NB>> the apple... :)

 RH> I might have had a taste of the pecan pie but not a full slice like I
 RH> would have enjoyed some years ago. But, a taste beats none at all.

It was very good pecan pie...  ;)  I had a small slice of it, and then a
small slice of Lydia's mixed berry...  :)

 NB>>> I guess they don't keep well long-term, unless processed into
 NB>>> something like guacamole, though....
 RH>> Even guacamole doesn't keep very long unless it's frozen or has
 RH>> preservatives added.
 NB>> Even vacuum sealed and refrigerated...?  But frozen works, too...  :)

 RH> Never tried vaccuum sealing it but overall, it's someting best made
 RH> fresh each time you want some. We don't add any sort of preservatives
 RH> for longer keeping, as you would find in grocery store guacamole.

Not all the grocery store guacamole has preservatives in it... :)

... For real sponge cake, borrow all ingredients.
