Good for me!
I cast on for the Second Sock today and have 10 rows til I'm finished with the leg. Pretty good for one day--at least for me!
Oh yeah, the PIZZA was really swell. I liked it very much. :o) I need to be sure to make the crust uniform in thicknes however, because it was a bit gooey in some of the thicker bits. So there will be tweaking next time, but as a first go: I say 2 thumbs up.
I'm sure something interesting happened today--I just can't think of anything. I will therefore end this post and recommence knitting the sock.

Yay sock!! Yay pizza!!
I posted the easiest flourless cake recipe in the world on my blog - you have got to try it. Yum yum yum yum yum.
Hi, being gluten free and a knitter too, I just wanted to leave you this tasty recipe I found and tried.
It does assume, however, that you've decided it's OK to eat oats...which I guess is still apparently a little up in the air for people with celiac disease. But I've not had any symptoms from oats at all--no bloating or anything, in contrast to all the other regular gluten flours which immedidately and reliably cause the usual bad symptoms! So I'm going with it and maybe have a blood test later on just to be sure, cause its just as good as regular bread!
Heat oven to 400 degrees
Mix in a bowl
1 cup oats (quick cooking)
1 cup oat flour
1/4 teasp mustard powder
1/4 teasp salt
Blend all the dry ingredients well with a fork.
Then, pour into the dry mixture:
½ cup canola oil
(better for you, but any oil will do except probably olive oil, which would be heavy tasting)
1 cup shredded cheese
(I used lowfat cheddar with 1/4 really fancy asagio left over from the holidays)
½ cup warm water or milk (I used skim milk and it was excellent...no specific temp, just not cold)
Mix all that, and add a little more flour if it's still on the wet side. What you want is a ball of dough that is more like cookie dough...that you can just handle to shape. You don't have to mix it a lot...there's no yeast to integrate and you're not going to knead.
When you have a handle-able ball of dough, which should just take a few minutes of mixing, roll it out on the counter and divide up into small amounts. Shape each amount into a round disk and then cut into little pie shaped quarters.
Place those on lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. You can turn them midway so they get a toasty browning on both sides if you want.
Mine came out really well, like nice little cheese flatbread like things. As satisfying as any 'normal' bread product. The oats and cheese make them chewy, but they have a nice slightly crispy bottom...next time, I'll turn them over midway.
I wonder, if one reduces the cheese and oil a little and uses warm water rather than warm milke, to make it more bland, that it might also make a nice crispy pizza dough...of sorts...just press it into the bottom of shallow dish and add sauce and toppings.
Like, d'oh! You were the very first comment on the cake recipe! Ok, I obviously need more coffee...
Thanks Laura! I would find your blog and post, but...
