Always remember that those bad times have an end, and you'll have all the best of what you want in due time. Anyway, I hope you’ve been completely healed after your wisdom teeth extraction. I hope you haven't had any dental problems since then. Have a great day!<br /><br /><a href="http://oralsurgeonpa.blogspot.com/2013/12/when-oral-surgeon-in-philadelphia-can.html" rel="nofollow">Victor Peterson</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143549385755266527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448143605565048667.post-62595387476055184322014-06-07T09:49:35.659-07:002014-06-07T09:49:35.659-07:00Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the praise and ...Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the praise and motivation!

You've been through some journey...but someday I'm sure you'll be able to look back on it all and think, "Wow, look what I was going through." Key word: was. You'll survive this new beginning and any others that come your way! <br /><br />P.S.

I think that would have been Greek to me a year ago. In the article they talk about Marsh levels, which I still haven't learned enough about, but in general it was understandable, at least at a surface level.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042440322112162653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448143605565048667.post-70687004923194593942014-06-05T19:09:51.944-07:002014-06-05T19:09:51.944-07:00So glad to hear that your pizza was a success!

Still searching for the perfect one, but I have hope now! Thanks for the healing vibes!

This had none of those problems. It still wasn't as good as a really good wheat crust, but it was better than many I've eaten at restaurants and from carry-outs. Gluten free doesn't have to be awful.<br /><br />Hope your infection is clearing up. Doesn't sound like fun at all.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042440322112162653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448143605565048667.post-44595019457428949032014-06-05T09:34:10.204-07:002014-06-05T09:34:10.204-07:00I feel ya on the bread and pizza!

And some mix of gluten free flours that will produce a good sandwich bread similar to the whole wheat my wife has made for herself for years. I used to be able to enjoy a slice of that from time to time, but of course can't any more. My latest try was a loaf of "Timtana" bread from a mix from a company called Montana Gluten Free Processors. ("Timtana" is their trade name for a dark flour made from timothy seed; timothy is a grass which is usually grown for animal feed.) It's fairly good, but it won't replace whole wheat.<br /><br />It's okay-- I like to cook and bake, but the baking without gluten is certainly a new beginning. I've got a lump of pizza dough in the refrigerator now that's based on the recipes on the Gluten Free on a Shoestring website. I've never used whey protein isolate or modified tapioca starch or pectin in a yeast dough before. (Actually, I didn't use the modified tapioca starch-- thought I'd ordered some, but it turned out I hadn't-- so I substituted some plain tapioca starch and psyllium husk powder.)<br /><br />I've been learning about all sorts of things I'd either never heard of or had never paid any attention to. I guess that's some of what new beginnings are about. But I used to look forward to a trip or a cruise with anticipation; now the more applicable word is "apprehension". Another sort of "new beginning", but not a much fun.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042440322112162653noreply@blogger.com
