Then it might make sense to let things grow a little longer on the SS...
If he's only 62, it makes really good sense to wait until he gets the
full amount at 66... pushing it further might or might not...  :)
 
 RH>>> The stevia for baking is a light, fluffy product, very much like
 RH>>> powdered sugar so I thought it would work--and it did.
 NB>>> The stevia for baking is still just stevia, no additions, just
 NB>>> processed differently to make it fluffy instead of granular...?
 RH>> That's it, as far as I know.
 NB>> I asked, partly because I'd noticed that the Splenda for baking used
 NB>> sugar to make it work "better"...

 RH> I took a better look--it has maltodextrine in it. Still, something
 RH> like 18 grams of carbs per cup as compared to 96 or there abouts for
 RH> sugar makes it easier on my system.

Sounds like they aren't adding a lot of the maltodextrine, either,
then...  :)

 NB>> And she might find, after all, that she doesn't want to get too much
 NB>> gluten for herself, too... ;)  And won't you need to still have
 NB>> gluten-free for the baby...?

 RH> She's going easy on the gluten for herself, and making sure baby has
 RH> enough non gluten things to make her happy. Right now it's finger

 RH> dad feeding baby foods.

It won't be long before she'll be eating regular people foods... ;)  And
you'll be back to making at least some things gluten-free to accommodate
her...  ;)

 NB>>> Last night we had a joint Reformation Day service, at another
 NB>>> church...   [snip]
 RH>> Bummer--somebody should have let them know to have something that
 RH>> could be enjoyed by those with problems.
 NB>> It just wasn't thought about...

 RH> Maybe next year.................

Probably be back at our church next year...  but maybe by next time at
that church things might be different...  :)
 
 RH>> Yes, but kids, being kids, want cookies too.
 NB>> True.  :)

 RH> I can see a bit of how they feel now, as I try to restrict some of
 RH> what I eat.

Easier to commiserate, eh...?   ;)

 NB>> She often does... at the hotdog roast last month, she'd brought some
 NB>> special gluten-free "graham" crackers for s'mores for them...  But I
 NB>> think we were just lulled by the fact that it's become commonplace at
 NB>> our own church to have that thought of by others...  :)  And, as I
 NB>> mentioned, we weren't expecting refreshments exactly...  :)

 RH> I know, but g/f seems to be quite the issue now. Maybe next year
 RH> somebody will be alert to the fact that it needs to be addressed at
 RH> joint church services. Would your congregation host it next year
 RH> perhaps?

As I said above, quite likely... there's four churches that get
together, one of them doesn't have their own building, another does but
is currently without a pastor, and then us and the one that did host
this year...  Meanwhile, at our church's annual Thanksgiving (regular
November second sunday) dinner, there were lots of non-gluten
alternatives, including a non-gluten apple pie that my sister made...
Tony was ecstatic over it... told her she'd hit a home run with that
one... ;)

 RH>> We'e thinking it's cycles, like the avocado tree we had in our back
 RH>> yard in HI. Every other year it was loaded down heavy with fruit, the
 RH>> off years there was hardly any.
 RH>> Word did get around the years we had lots of it, but it still had
 RH>> more than could be picked, even using a long picker pole & basket.
 NB>> Guess you needed more friends to pick... and people with ladders and
 NB>> cherry-pickers...  ;)

 RH> It still would have had an overabundance of avocadoes.

Then you should have sold them off to the grocery stores... (G)   I
guess they don't keep well long-term, unless processed into something
like guacamole, though....
