Continued from previous summary in a search for a palatable gluten free
bread to share with a bunch of 2nd grade religious ed kids....

> 17. Wow, I'm surprised at how insensitive your daughter's teacher

>  I guess in a perfect world, her interest in having the children share

> I tried it and found it to be the best GF bread I've come up with since
> my son's diagnosis nearly 4 years ago.  I've meant to post the recipe on

>
> First get some of Kinnikinnick's "Kinni-Kwik Bread and Bun Mix."  (If

>  If you're interested in what, e-mail me back and I'll tell you what we

> 18. I understand your concern over the other children not "enjoying" the
gf

> objective is for children to "break bread" together perhaps the CCD
teacher
> would allow you bring bananna bread.  I have a recipe that works every
time

plate

that

> Questions are sure to arrise later at the time your daughter makes her
first
> Communion...why not broach the subject now?  Best to you and you family.

> 19. Cant recall who posted it, but either yesterday or the day before
> someone posted a Buckwheat bread.  We tried it and wow, what a difference
to all the

not

it

> My first thoughts were:
> I hope they wash their hands carefully before they pass the loaf of bread

great

> And secondly, on a more practical note, perhaps your daughter could

> 21. I have all kinds of bread for regular folks.  If you will email me I

as

thing

it
