 RH> We're doing a bit of financial rejuggling to accomodate car payments
 RH> now.

Hmmm...  maybe time to rethink what you might need coming in, then... ;)

 RH> Traded our 09 Escape on a 16 model so we can tow a small (Casita)
 RH> mobile unit. The 09 Escape doesn't have enough "oomph" to tow anything
 RH> over 2000 lbs; we needed something a bit stronger.

Thinking towards a trip west, then...?  Or just traveling in general...?
 
 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.
 NB>> Sounds like they aren't adding a lot of the maltodextrine, either,
 NB>> then...  :)

 RH> No, just enough that it had to be added on the package labelling.

And apparently enough to give some benefit in baking...  :)

 NB>>> And she might find, after all, that she doesn't want to get too
 NB>>> much gluten for herself, too... ;)  And won't you need to still
 NB>>> have 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>> foods that she can handle (g/f crackers, etc from home) plus mom or
 RH>> dad feeding baby foods.
 NB>> It won't be long before she'll be eating regular people foods... ;)
 NB>> And you'll be back to making at least some things gluten-free to
 NB>> accommodate her...  ;)

 RH> Wr'll see how that plays out in the future.
 
True...  :)

 RH>>> that could be enjoyed by those with problems.
 NB>>> It just wasn't thought about...
 RH>> Maybe next year.................
 NB>> Probably be back at our church next year...  but maybe by next time
 NB>> at that church things might be different...  :)

 RH> Time will tell--you have almost another year yet.

True enough... :) 
 
 NB>> Meanwhile, at our church's annual Thanksgiving (regular November
 NB>> second sunday) dinner, there were lots of non-gluten alternatives,
 NB>> including a non-gluten apple pie that my sister made... Tony was
 NB>> ecstatic over it... told her she'd hit a home run with that one... ;)

 RH> Hit a home run for him, struck out for you.

I didn't mind... there were plenty of other options for me... :)  Lydia
made a pumpkin pie, an apple pie, the gluten-free apple pie, and a mixed
berry (strawberry, raspberry and blackberry) pie.  And someone(s) else
had made a pecan pie, and a couple of other fancy pies; and there were
also a couple of gluten-free "crumbles", one apple, one pumpkin... With
a big bowl of real whipped cream (supplied by Lydia), and a couple of
3-pt vanilla ice cream cartons...  :)  I had a slice of the pecan pie
with the whipped cream, and a slice of the mixed berry pie... didn't
really miss the apple... :)

 RH>>> Word did get around the years we had lots of it, but it still
 RH>>> had more than could be picked, even using a long picker pole &
 RH>>> basket. 
 NB>>> Guess you needed more friends to pick... and people with ladders
 NB>>> and cherry-pickers...  ;)
 RH>> It still would have had an overabundance of avocadoes.
 NB>> Then you should have sold them off to the grocery stores... (G)

 RH> Technically they belonged to the Army as the tree was on an Army post.

Ah... so you'd at very least have to get permission... :)

 NB>> I guess they don't keep well long-term, unless processed into
 NB>> something like guacamole, though....

 RH> Even guacamole doesn't keep very long unless it's frozen or has
 RH> preservatives added.

Even vacuum sealed and refrigerated...?  But frozen works, too...  :)
