One is someone telling me that spelt has gluten it in and two, an email from Sea! Now now, there is no need for an anti-spelt association, just more research. I am the guinea pig, so we already have that...:) Happy Belated Valentine's Day to you too Sea! It is almost time to start thinking about St Patrick's Day, my favorite holiday of the year - aside from Thanksgiving of course. A French bread pan is next on my list at Amazon, along with one of those julienne peelers! The water spray does work, and I am sure the ice pan would too!

I love the fun names for your themes- esp. Irish Rainy Days. Bette's rapid rise french bread is very popular around our house- it's good stuff. I haven't tried using the ice in the stove trick for a crispier crust yet- I ought to do that. A french bread pan is KEY. I do love mine. Actually I have 2 so I can make a big double batch for dinner parties. (That french bread just flies off the table, even if it is a party of glutenoids!) Spelt is not recommended for the Celiac diet as it still contains gluten... which you know that I know that you know that I am always preaching this- but it's been impressed pretty firmly into me by all the various gluten free associations and groups. I should form an anti-spelt association. haha. Anyway, as always great menu! *hugs* and happy Valentine's Day!!!!! -Sea Ginger,

We will be making it on Wed now instead of Thursday as my meeting night changed (easier to keep soup warm than salmon). For the crusty bread, I was going to make a spelt sourdough. I know most Celiacs are hesitant to try spelt, but it works for me. Perhaps I will give the no knead GF bread another try for the team. I need a small dutch oven for that and mine is the size to feed 30! Potato leek soup is one of my favorites. If you are not a vegetarian, try adding some German style weiss wurst to it and leave the potatoes in chunks in the broth - really good! I buy Weiss wurst just for this purpose! Nurnburger or knockwurst work great too. Just not bratwurst! Carrie, I can't wait to try it! I had some luck with Bette's no fat French bread in her quick and easy book (I think that is the one, it is loaned to a friend right now). I was going to make a spelt sourdough. I think if we follow the crusty bread rules for GF bread, it might work and that seems to be to spray the inside of your very hot oven with water just before sliding your bread in. I need to get myself one of those French bread loaf holders as my aluminum foil pans don't quite cut it! Ginger Cris,
