" ...what is it about this poem that thrilled me...? That sing song cadence for one thing, with its ominous message....more than the rhyme or meter was the reality: poetry could emerge out of the geography of your own experience, the life you lived or knew. -- James Atlas
" ...we carry all the writings inside us from the very first word. And then one day I woke up and wrote my first story. It wasn't much ( as I recall, it began "It is raining...") but it was a start. -- Kate Atkinson

Gluten free Flours:
Annalise Robert's Basic Brown Rice Flour Recipe From GlutenFreeMom.com
Brown Rice Flour Mix:
2 cups brown rice flour
(extra finely ground brown rice flour)
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
It is very important that you use an extra finely ground brown rice flour, (and not just any grind) or your baked goods will be gritty, heavy and/or crumbly. You can purchase a Super Fine Brown Rice flour from Authentic Foods.
Not feeling up to the challenge of making your own flour, you can order this flour pre-mixed from Authentic Foods.
Also can use 6 cups Brown Rice + 2 cups Potato Starch + 1 cup Tapioca Flour
**Xanthan gum is the ingredient in gluten free flour mixes that basically replaces the gluten and holds the recipe together. Note that neither of these blends contain xantham gum so you will want to add some if you are using this flour in a baking recipe.
Karen Robertson's Basic Brown Rice Flour Recipe
We have also used the following recipe with excellent results. It has more white rice which makes it less healthy, but maybe a little less grainy if you are using straight brown rice flour that is not finely ground.
This is the Multi-Blend Gluten Free Flour.
1 cup brown rice flour
1 1/4 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup potato starch
2/3 cup tapioca starch
3/4 cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup cornstarch

Karen Robertson recommends the following substitution in her book, Cooking Gluten-Free:
Bread: 1 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of flour mix
Cakes: 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of flour mix
Cookies: 1/4 teaspoon per cup of flour mix
In the recipes on my web site, I have already suggested the amount of xanthan gum that you use.
