Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour

Well, I cracked open the bag and started baking! I found a recipe for gluten free muffins. I am on my second round of them now. The first round was not flavorful enough, so I am experimenting with ingredients. These came out pretty good. I added bananas, cranberries, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Oh, and I added some local honey that I recently bought. That is another subject!! But, since I mentioned it. It was the first local honey that I think I have ever bought. I read or heard somewhere that local honey is better for you because it helps with your allergies. I don't have them bad, but I thought it couldn't hurt. I was working for a week in "farm country" and stopped by a roadside stand and picked some up. I have to say it was the most delicious honey that I have ever tasted! I will probably contact them to tell them how much I liked it.

As for the muffins, well, they will pass. Gotta keep working on them.

All natural product.....oh, you want it to work?

A few years ago, I had bought my Dad an all natural soap. My Dad likes to save things over long periods of time. He finally used it and said that the nice scent that it once had was now gone. (No preservatives?...yup) He then proceeded to use the soap prior to shaving his face. When he was ready start shaving, the soap had already dried. When he told me about it, I said, "Oh, did you expect it to work, too?" LOL

The lesson that must be taken from this situation is that you cannot expect your all natural products to make you smell good and to work. ....ah, such as life. :)
