Ellen: You must not be looking very hard ;-) The egg replacer *is* necessary, and really not substitutable in most of the recipes of Bette's that I've worked with. Now, as far as egg replacer goes, it's made by EnerG Foods of Seattle - if you were leaving *next* week, you could mail order it. Howsomever, leaving this week, you'll need to pick it up (semi-)locally. I *know* that Country Life Foods (?) in Palo Alto carries it (California Street, east of the El Camino about a block) and that the Whole Foods Market in Oakland (Ashby and Telegraph) carries it. Check the larger health food stores near your house - or maybe you can arrange a delivery from the Whole Foods Market ;-) Actually, Whole Foods is worth a trip by itself if you're in the area - they have a *great* deli, and have just switched to using a GF tamari in-house (the signs were up when I was there grabbing a quick lunch a couple weeks back while vacationing in Oakland/Berkeley).
