No!!!

Yes, (evil laughter), another Mommy Blog (more evil laughter)!!! Life is a story, mine at the moment just happens to occur mostly at home, which means no sword fights or dragons, but plenty of peril, misadventure, and food. Like all good stories we will skip the boring parts (like laundry). So gird up your loins and let us commence with some real domestic adventures; don't forget your sense of humor.

Too good to be true but it is! At least if you bake gluten free...

Christmas came a little early this year, I asked for an expensive ($15) implement of baking curiosity from the in-laws and they bought and mailed it to me early, knowing I'll have a use for it.  It's one of those things that looks too good to be true, but the price was right and the need dire (just kidding) so I thought I'd risk it and it really does work.  It looks like a wire coat hanger bent into strange spirals and attached to a wooden handle but the videos show it cutting through thick batter (aka most of gluten free baking!) like a butter knife through soft butter.  It's called a Danish Dough Whisk and it is the funkiest thing I've ever seen.  I thought I needed a powerful mixer or my bread machine to stir the dough posing as a batter that is most gluten free bread in its primordial phase but this baby cuts through it without getting clogged with batter or ineffectually stirring like a spoon.  I don't think it would be great for an actual dough, but for thick, sticky batters, it is amazing.  I can now mix gluten free by hand and use the bread machine for the hubby's wheat bagels again!
