Re: [CnD] Flour?
Thanks to all who responded. I am aware there was a recall of the General Mills flour, but I did not know the brand of the first bag of flour I had, which I threw out after being ill. The second I tried was King Arthur's Unbleached, & still the same outcome. Perhaps it is gluten sensitibity as you say. When I asked my doctor about it a while ago out of curiosity, she said it was a fad. Going to be a change, that's for sure. I will try the suggested King Arthur mixes & see. Thanks again.

Re: [CnD] Flour?
Hello, Recently, there has been a recall on some Gold Medal flour due to ecoli. You may want to check the bag as well and see if it's code is part of the recall. Hope you feel better.

It sounds like you may have developed a sensitivity to gluten. I think that's more likely than that the flour is bad or dangerous. Try a small bag of gluten-free baking mix. I know that King Arthur makes one that's supposed to yield good results -- you can buy it at kingarthur.com or amazon.com -- and see if that makes the difference. Good luck.

Re: [CnD] Fruit Cobbler in the Crockpot update
I would guess that the Crockpot is never going to give you a topping with crunch.

Re: [CnD] Flour?
It sounds like you may have developed a sensitivity to gluten. I think that's more likely than that the flour is bad or dangerous. Try a small bag of gluten-free baking mix. I know that King Arthur makes one that's supposed to yield good results -- you can buy it at kingarthur.com or amazon.com -- and see if that makes the difference. Good luck.

Re: [CnD] Flour?
it sounds as if you may have a gluten allergy. Make an appointment with your doctor & ask to be tested for gluten intolerance. Let him/her know what you have shared with us. Try to stay away from as many processed foods as you can until you find out what is going on. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

[CnD] Scrambled Eggs
Dale had a segment on his show last night about cooking scrambled eggs. When I do mine, I use about a tablespoon of cold water instead of milk. Then I either put sharp cheddar cheese or cream cheese in them and a pinch of kosher salt before I cook the eggs. Delicious every time.

[CnD] Some thoughts on cooking and recipes.
Hi, all, I've stayed out of the recent fray over recipes, but have a few thoughts I'd like to share. The Mississippi Mud brownies is an example of an incomplete recipe; there are many of those out there with errors, items left out or a measurement written incorrectly. If I were to make these brownies, given the amount of fat (1/2 cup butter), I would use about 1/4 cup cocoa in the batter I think though, that I would just use a different tried and true brownie recipe. As for knowing when something is "golden brown", (Charles), although I am totally blind, I grew up in a sighted household with sighted parents and siblings. So when I learned to cook, it was without any special tricks. I learned to time things and also use my sense of smell, as well as the cake tester and textures of meats and vegetables. This is all by way of nothing, but I hope from now on we can focus on our strengths and enjoy the exchange of hints and recipes.
