And just tossed the sauce in the potatoes, eggs and veg, no topping there, Pals…

Odd, right?
It was actually a pretty good, yet poorly planned, GF bread.
I had zero happy when I got to who knows paragraph 9-??WHO KNOWS… I ended up skipping those, rounded it, used my brain on what best to do, yadda yadda.
I will say that though it didn’t brown well, the inside was well done, and GOSH I think I kinda tasted it and butter! Tomorrow I may work in chutney, other homemade (not by me) preserves, and tuna salad.
Good stuff, better than grabbing GF at the store! I will try again with another recipe…looking at pizza crusts to try to run by a Na’an-ish bread for sammies. Stores just seem worse, all the time with GF Sammie bread.

Hey. Popped beans are amazing. Drain, shake in spices and air fry. Just keep an eye on them!
Chickpeas and black beans or Aduki are my favourite…I even pop them before I put them into chilli or a stew, the texture is so yum.

There’s a coffee shop by my friend’s house that makes chocolate covered espresso beans and I absolutely love them! I’ve been having a handful a day for the past few weeks but now I’m down to my last bit

That’s a nice stapler.
From its release 20 years ago.
The One-Touch Stapler’s secret weapon is its lever.

What could be simpler than a desktop stapler? You press down and a small stack of papers is fastened together. But I guess when you name your office supply chain after them, the humble fasteners take on more importance. Staples realized that the ordinary stapler wasn’t good enough and has done an amazing job rethinking and reinventing the ordinary stapler.
The ubiquitous office tool has been around seemingly forever (since the 1700s, in fact, according to Wikipedia) and is basically just a very crude lever device. Little snippets of metal are lined up in a row and held in place by a spring. Pressure from your hand slamming down on the top causes a thin, little hammer of sorts to force a single staple through a stack of papers. A curved metal guide underneath the stack bends the ends of the staple to form a butterfly-like metal clip.
The problem with modern-day staplers is, as everyone knows, that they only work with four or five pages at a time – maybe seven or eight, if you’re lucky. It’s not that the staples are too short. It’s just that most staplers don’t have enough oomph to drive the metal through large numbers of pages despite your pounding the top of the stapler with your fist.
That’s where Staples’ revolutionary new One-Touch Stapler with Staple Gun Power comes into play. It looks as nicely shaped and sleek as a regular stapler, and in most ways it is. But while it uses the same standard staples as other devices this little baby is capable of driving through 20 pages (their claim) or more (my claim) at a time.
This stapler’s secret weapon is its lever, which operates its drive system much further back than in a normal stapler. That means that instead of pressing down directly on the staple, the new One-Touch has a power mechanism which supercharges the process. No batteries, AC cords or pneumatic connections are involved.
I know I’m probably over-complicating the process, but I feel I have to technically prepare you for a very unusual experience. This thing is amazing. To test the One-Touch I tried to staple 20 pages at a time. I didn’t pound the top but merely touched it. The One-Touch handled the task.
Not satisfied with meeting the manufacturer’s claims, I decided to challenge the One-Touch. First I offered it a folded section of newspaper, some 30 pages in all. The One-Touch handled it with aplomb. It was even able to handle nearly 40 pages of paperwork I had sitting on my desk. All of this with standard-size office staples and a light touch of my index finger. The bottom of the One-Touch also flips down, allowing you to tack and pin like you can with other staplers.

I really want this bread. It has gluten? I am hoping I can make something close. I will also take the salmon!

Basically $9+ Hmmmm. The seeds make me happy. Maybe I will try to make one. I could polish off a $9 loaf and/or bagel in a couple days.

This looks amazing, a little like my Dad’s recipe (New Zealand winner).
It has meat, and probably gluten? I could do a portobello stew with a gluten delete. I am generally OK eating a little gluten but I am really trying to get my smell and taste back with all types of “don’t do that.” That bread even looks delish.
Thankfully, with a new “quit” my body needs food. I really want to taste…but hopefully that’ll be “next.”

I’ve just got a Costco membership (Canada) not long ago and it’s somewhat more reasonably priced there. Comes in two pack (fresh) and I usually freeze it (or at least one loaf) as I’m trying to eat less bread. Making a copycat loaf is a great plan!

Interesting! Last time I was there, there wasn’t much GF, so I would have to take a look.
