Is This Thing On?

I have been remarkably absent in the past few forever because I finally got moved to my apartment, and between the unpacking, settling in and shuttling back and forth from the house to my place, I have been exhausted. And lazy. And without Internet or television.

Being apart is good, Bacon is settled in nicely with the change, and Mr. Tantrum and I have agreed to work on things and see if we really should get a divorce or not. Not that working on it means we are back together or is even a guarantee that we will still want to be near each other in three or even six months, but at least we aren't jumping ship without a little life jacket. 

I got a promotion at work and we are working on the transition to being the Dealer Services Manager. I will get to still work with my two favorite girls, but will also get a raise, and have more responsibility. I have to say I was flabbergasted when they offered me the position, I have only been with the company 8 months after all, but obviously I am doing something right. 

Bacon is done with school this week and will be a KINDERGARTNER. I still can't get used to that idea. He also has a nanny for the summer that he ADORES and is already calling his big sister. I think that it is the perfect fit. 

I am feeling so much better now that I am not eating the wheat or the dairy. Although I still crave a nice normal cheeseburger on a bun with real cheese pretty much every other day. I am waiting for the arrival of a flour that is completely gluten free and can be used in recipes that call for all purpose flour. Hopefully it tastes a good as everyone says!

I promise to be back more...I promise that I haven't forgotten any of you. I am reading...just not commenting as much as I should.

When you're baking with gluten-free flour, add about 1/2 t. xanthan gum for each cup of flour. It's a steep learning curve, don't freak out if it takes a couple months to figure it out. I've been doing it for years, it soon becomes routine.

Good luck with everything!

I don't know much about xanthan gum, but I think there should be more foods that begin with 'X'.
