Still digging my way out of e-mails, some from before Christmas; answering some with links to
...and finding links in others. When will I do Twitter, Persona Paper, Live Journal, or write an actual article type post again? Categories: Food (Yum), Fun Stuff, Music, Phenology Links, Psychology, Amazon Photo Link.
Food (Yum)
This is one recipe where you can just substitute self-rising cornmeal for self-rising flour--no need to add any exotic grains, if you can get cornmeal that's not been bioengineered to do as much damage as gluten does--and get a precise gluten-free equivalent.

I've made similar things as cakes, cupcakes/muffins, and even, to save electricity, as full-sized flapjacks. A banana-chocolate-cornmeal flapjack will stick if not started in a hot skillet, and scorch if the heat isn't turned down promptly, but it will flip, rise, and taste good.
