This week my nine-year-old niece was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after a rather harrowing trip to and stay at a children’s hospital. She’s doing well now, and her and her family and adjusting to life with this disease that requires exacting management.

X: Xanthan gum in #glutenfree pancakes #recipe #AtoZChallenge

Xanthan gum is a great ingredient to use in gluten-free food, with a few caveats. First, you only want to use a small amount or you’ll be subject to it’s laxative qualities. The good news is that you only need small amounts to use as a thickening agent. Second, it is sometimes derived using wheat. In most cases, the amount of residual gluten is so small as to be negligible. However, if you are…

U: Upanishads #AtoZChallenge

I find U to be one of the most difficult letters of the challenge so far. This might be cheating, but I’m using the same thing, the Upanishads, that I used last time I did the challenge. There simply wasn’t anything else I could think of that appealed to me as much.

R: Review of Power Shift by Cassandra Carr

R: Review of Power Shift by Cassandra Carr

Power Shift is a novella about a married couple in a relationship rut after twelve years. Cissy decides to shake things up and take a more dominant role in their love life.

This was a pretty good read. There just aren’t enough books about long-term relationships. I enjoyed the tension between the psychological and physical reactions of the characters as they explored a whole new world of sexual…
