Dilly Flatbread

When I was learning to bake with my mom eons ago, she assigned me to make a Dilly Bread recipe that, to this day, I think of over and over. Of course it called for wheat flour, but it also had cottage cheese in it, and neither of these things I eat anymore. However, the flavors that have had lasting impression on my taste buds weren't so much from the wheat and the cottage cheese but from the sourness of the bread (maybe vinegar or lemon juice was in the bread too, kind of like a sourdough) and from the loud combination of dill seeds and onion pieces. With these three things in mind—the sourness, the dill seeds and the onions—I thought I’d attempt a gluten-free vegan Dilly Flatbread.
 
Heh heh, I am pretty satisfied! Yep, all the three flavors I wanted are there! But unfortunately, I can't remember the ration of flours (quinoa and millet with some flax) so I'll have to remake the flatbread and post later. This would have been awesome, except for one wee little problem ... I took it out of the oven before the bottom was finished cooking and eating a piece out of the center of the pan was slightly on the grose. Ah, but next time there will be perfection ... as well as an ingredient list.

Spoon-pour the batter onto an oiled/sprayed pizza sheet and spread out evenly.
Then, liberally sprinkle dried rosemary, thyme leaves and sea salt over the surface of the flatbread.
Minced garlic is also a possibility.  
After baking, immediately cut the hot bread into pieces of desired shapes.
I served this dilly flatbread with salsa-like salad and black bean soup.
The black bean soup was mostly leftover bean broth with brown rice cooked in it and finely chopped broccoli added.

Reaction to Electric Space Heater

This morning—thankfully it’s the weekend—had some difficulty waking up. Just felt really tired. When I finally got up and looked into the mirror, wow, surprise! My eyes, especially my right eye was very swollen. I knew immediately what happened as this had happened a couple of years before I got systemic candida. swollen eyelid again ... a space heater reaction At that time, I didn’t have floor heat in my one-room so used a space heater. Then one day when I woke up, both of my eyes had almost swollen shut. I was so ashamed to go anywhere, but did go to the store immediately and bought a long duck-billed baseball cap and wore it low for three days as I waited for the swelling to go down. I also went immediately to the hospital to consult with docs about what the hey was happening. Allergy testing was recommended because I had cats and the docs all thought it was them. Nope, I would have reacted long ago or at least had some hint, but I did test for cats, mold and a couple oth...

Sprouted Lentil Crackers

For 6 days after soaking a 1/2 cup of lentils overnight I allowed them to sprout in a plastic collander covered lightly by a silk-like cloth.  At least twice a day I rinsed the lentils (it's winter so I don't need to rinse them so often to keep them fresh). Because my apartment is cool and my pantry with large slightly opened window where I sprout cooler, it took longer than usual for the lentils to sprout and grow, but I didn't need to worry so much about e.coli forming, which is more likely to happen in hotter weather.  So after 6 days when the sprouts were growing into a tangle, I found some time to finally make some crackers. Long ago I made some  lentil crackers , which turned out really good, so since I was planning a weekend train trip, I thought some crackers for nibbling on the train or when hiking would be nice. And, yup, they were pretty tasty ... although I have to admit, the lentil crackers I ma...
