Re: Warning - whiney rant from down place in my IE journey... GF baking...

[Guest guest]

You probably already know this, but there are lots of sources of gf baking mixes

that are virtually indistinguishable from the usual suspects. Even Betty Crocker

has gf cake mixes on regular grocery store shelves. I'm way to lazy to bake

('sides I live alone and really don't want to eat a whole cake) and there are

more and more places in my region that create everything from gf cheesy

breadsticks to oooey gooey desserts. Funny thing, once I got past the initial

thrill, they're not as alluring... There's also a website group that lists

national restaurant chains with gf specialities, etc. PF Chang has excellent,

excellent gf chinese... Sandarah (in the Pacific Northwest - USA)

layers of paint on a small bathroom to get the right color! It sounds rather

vain and silly to say that, but it was frustrating and draining for me since I

hate re-doing anything (let alone 3 times!). But little old bulldog me wasn't

about to give in and I dearly wanted to make a positive change instead of

continuing to live with a so-so OK color. Now I can paint on with confidence the

other rooms that I want to have that same color in. And in the process of

working a lot harder than I thought I would need to, I also figured out an

easier way to accomplish the same task (wall scrubbing pre painting).

Hmmm. There's a thought. Once I get this a little more under my belt, I might

post something locally and see if I can drum up an IE group of some sort.

Nothing formal but a breakfast every so often might be good. Fortunately (or

not) I'm old enough and iconoclast enough I don't need a lot of social support

for this, but an IE breakfast is an intriguing idea...

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how much EXternal input is too much. I too

feel the need to go solo a bit - and yet am fearful that going solo will mean

going back to where I was before I got started with IE - awash in my diet rebel,

diet police stuff. It's a balancing act... Sandarah
