to be or not to be

being gluten free is some peoples choice.
and others its a way of life..
it is really hard to be free..

you need to read read read the labels..
incase you haven't lately..almost everything has
gluten, wheat flour in it..

if your born with it, you may not know th flavour of the
whole flour..
if you half way through life have to change..this is tough
even though its a harmful way to live..
its basicaly a slow death if you do continue to do so..

now its easier, then years ago..
you can go to most grocery stores and get some sort of gluten free product..
its expensive, some breads alone cost anywhere from
$ 6.00 to $ 9.50..and sometimes you actually can get a bread that you can make a sandwich without toasting it..
glutinno has a great sandwich bread..its called sandwich bread
light and fluffy..
when you start out making gf bread..it is really tricky..
and you have to get out of your head that it will look like
a loaf of  white dempsters or Westons..
not gonna happen..
if you do make a mistake dont throw it away..
grind it up for crumbs for another day..
it is costly and will discourage you, so
do your best..
the cheaper you buy a product sometimes
will find you with filler in your product..eg. black pepper
if you buy the store brand you may find it has whole flour to bulk it up..
just read the labels..
on everything you buy, and \i mean everything..
take nothing for granted..trust me..
make it a habit before you buy, read the ingredients..

its a good idea to keep a mix of gf flour
to sub in a regular recipe..
I have one that I got from the gf gourmet:

6 cups rice flour
2cups potatoe starch flour
1 cup tapioca flour

you can substitute this for any recipe cup for cup..
