    I was never a huge baker before the diagnosis, so now we mostly stick to quick breads and cookies when it comes to baking. Those types of recipes usually suffice with either baking soda or baking powder if using an all-purpose GF flour like the King Arthur mix. The best tasting GF flour I’ve tried though is Bob’s Red Mill, and they do specifically recommend (and sell separately) xanthan gum for various types of baked goods. Even when I follow their (Bob’s Red Mill) recommendations though, the dough is still typically a bit runny.

    Celiac here. I get so annoyed when companies try to combine all dietary restrictions into a single food item, e.g., the GF cookie is also the vegan/ dairy free cookie. It’s hard enough to make something edible with a single restriction, but when they try to lump all the restrictions into a single product it is almost always disgusting.



  • I am trying to talk my husband into moving. I can probably land the job in the EU I am interviewing for, but he does NOT want to move. He doesn’t want to leave the small amount of community we have. He doesn’t want to overreact in fear to this administration. He doesn’t want to give up our home and our lifestyle (the EU pays substantially less across many industries). Our parents are getting older and sicker; it’s hard to move abroad when you know there’s probably only a handful of years left with them, especially when you have children.

    I think the Internet discounts how difficult it can be to uproot.








  • I can’t really tell what your argument is here. Are you arguing that people substitute social media interactions for real life connection? And that they get enough from social media to not think vulnerability is worth it?

    I guess I can agree to that in some general way for novices to social media (people like me in 2007 or young kids now), but in my generation I’ve observed people valuing it less as we age. Once you mature, if you mature, you can judge your own lack of fulfillment from hours spent on social media.

    To quote (emphasis mine):

    “I discovered that no one is looking for a meaningful connection or a serious conversation. Everyone wants to catered and be heard, no one wants to listen for just a second.”

    In no way does the first part of the post make it sound like the commenter is qualifying the statement to only the subset of people they have dated.

    I’m happily married, and I know people I would enjoy spending time with if I wasn’t. The world doesn’t seem bereft of thoughtful, intelligent, generous people to me. To me, it sounds like it’s a problem with the commenter.







  • The media is just playing to the electorate there, I’m afraid.

    I watched the YouTube stream of a recent Maryland townhall: dark blue state, all Democrat Representatives and Senators speaking and taking questions, hosted by a Democrat county executive. Someone got up and confronted them about the immigrants abducted by ICE being held in Baltimore Harbor and not allowed to see their lawyers. Multiple people in the live chat started complaining that they weren’t discussing real issues like Social Security and Medicare. … Even though they had discussed it earlier. Americans are fundamentally selfish.
