I just told my brother via email and he called asking about the "Ethiopian Child Exchange Program." My brother is not ready for prime time.
Hah! He clearly went through the same How To Be an Uncle program as my uncles did!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kind of the staple and basis of western cookery.
Yet coeliac disease affects 1% of people in the US.
Wasn't wheat brought to the US with the colonists? I just wonder if there are situations where someone was experimenting with an alternate flour and found that the recipe was much-improved by using oat/rice/quinoa instead. But with the partial substitutions and the xanthan gum boosting it still leaves wheat as the king of the crops.

I always get confused about which vegetables were native to the Americas and which were brought over by Europeans. Corn is definitely Western Hemisphere, right? In which case, high fructose corn syrup may be slow-acting revenge for firewater and smallpox-y blankets...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Veganomicon has a who bunch of gluten-free recipes, including chocolate chip cookies made with oat flour. I've never tried them, though pretty much every else I've tried from this cookbook has been good. (Well, except the tofu dill salad, but I don't really like dill, so I'm not sure why I made that one to begin with.)

I love the name. And the cookbook. It is absolutely the best vegan cookbook I've seen -- it's got recipes for everything, with absolutely no store-bought fake meats or fake cheese (I'm still rolling my eyes at the "recipe" in the Skinny Bitch cookbook that's basically "heat up a frozen veggie burger, add a slice of fake cheese, put on a roll,") lots of really creative recipes, and everything I've tried has been delicious.

Ooh, I could make up similar recipes. Perhaps I should "write" a cookbook.

In my head I have that being swapped for wheat, so yeah.
