I just posted on FB about some cinnamon I bought. I have been following the cinnamon and honey treatment.

Picked up a huge food service size jar of cinnamon.

What a difference! The one I was using, just the cheap bottle I could get for under $1, I could put a teaspoon of it in my mouth then drink or add honey and be fine.

This stuff burned like crazy! Made my lips burn too! Drank some milk and most stopped burning. But I can still feel my lips burning.

My daughter and grandkids are gluten intolerant, (celiac disease). She fixed a gluten free meal for me one time and I discovered what gluten adds to food... TASTE!

So not true! My grand daughter has celiac. Her intolerance is so bad that they can't even cook with it in the house.

I use lots of spices and peppers. Must say I do miss my homemade bread!

I am learning still and finding other things that I can eat. Some are just plain wonderful!

The doc also has me doing the gluten-free thing. I will say, I miss the heck out of gluten. Low brow snacking that they are, Wheat Thins are beautiful little squares:closedeyes:...

Crackers....oh my....I love crackers! There are some I could make with almond or coconut flour. Just have not tried it yet. Snacking a lot on almonds, but they are not the same!

Yup. They love to jack the price way, way up on the store-bought almond flour crackers and whatnot, knowing the target buyers are stuck unless they're like you (and NOT me), who would actually get off your duff to make your own crackers. Same part of the oral-fixation of smoking, I guess...need some crunch from time to time to keep my sanity in (partial:p) tact for some reason:).

I love cinnamon. My favorite is Saigon cinnamon. I've been on a baked apple kick for weeks now. I core an apple and put it in the microwave for about 4 minutes. juice collects in the bottom of the bowl, add a little oatmeal to the juice, a bunch of cinnamon, fresh grated nutmeg, the apple on top, and then put it in my little convection oven for about 15 minutes. The oats get a little golden and crunchy on the bottom of the bowl.

I have been placing a cored apple cut in half in my Roaster with my cabbage! It makes a yummy desert! Usually a whole head of cabbage cut into wedges takes two cooking cycles. The apple fills it nicely! I use cinnamon on mine too!

I do something similar but I chop an apple, cover it with some red hots candies and microwave. When it's done crumble a graham cracker over it. Whipped cream is optional. Yum.

Good evening good folks!!
I skipped half a dozen pages after I posted just a few days ago to get to the end here...
You guys and gals are typing ninja's!!

Okay, so here's the deal- I have a week off starting next week and I really don't want to stay in Knoxville.
I could go pretty much anywhere I want (continental U.S...I have tons of flyer miles)...my problem is no one else (family included) is on spring break at the same time I am, so I would have to travel alone.

I need suggestions on places to go!! I could go hang out with Rob and the Porkies if he'd have me.
Wish there was a Reo Convention or something....
Who would have me for a few days? I really won't take up much room. Don't have to stay an entire week either!!

You know the crazy kids nowadays have a cinnamon challenge going on? We did it several years ago when I was a line cook in a restaurant. Had a cloud of cinnamon floating over the entire kitchen.

Oh, Jen's here...well, then...I take all that back about not baking up my own crackers and stuff:oops::p. I DID check out those INCREDIBLE cakes!! Unbelievable. So that is what your business is these days?
I'm on a extended vacation until back surgery and recovery. Not sure if I will go back to it in the extreme that I was, but I hope to have a small scale home bakery in the future.

If you could get away this weekend I think there's a vape fest in NY.
