Pain de riz sans gluten ( gluten free rice bread)

1 tablespoon of brown sugar (I like cane or Muscovado sugar best)

1 teaspoon dry yeast

15 oz. of warm water (adjust water based on elevation and humidity level you might use 15- 25oz for this recipe)

250 grams of rice flour

1table teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon guar gum or xanthan gum

1 teaspoon of honey

2 eggs (organic preferably)

3 table spoon of virgin oil

1 ½ teaspoon of rice wine vinegar (or lime juice)

1 table spoons of ground flaxseed

1/4 cup tapioca flour (optional)

In a bowl, add yeast, sugar, honey, rice wine vinegar and 5 ounces of warm water mix it all together then let it rise. After a few minutes the mixture will begin to foam and increase in volume.

In a mixing bowl, pour the flour, guar gum, salt, eggs, virgin oil, flaxseed, backing powder and then add the foamed yeast. Gradually add the 10 ounces of warm water, mix well. When done, the dough should have the consistency of cake batter. 

Line bread pan with parchment paper (or just grease it) then pour in the batter, let it rise near a light source natural or otherwise for 1 hour (I placed my dough in my kitchen window where the sunlight hits.)

Finally place the pan on the center oven rack and bake for 45 minutes at 410°F

I will add picture later this week.

Siro Grenadine Rum Cocktail)

A young Haitian girl raided her father liquor cabinet on a Sunday morning. She then made herself a rum cocktail, which she named "Siro Grenadine. She sat of her parent kitchen table put her feet up then sipped her drink. The  drink was smooth; it gently glided down her throat and left little tingles in its wakes. She felt fantastic, alive, and invincible. So she decided to go to church. She took a shower got dress then walked to church.

Halfway there she felt euphoric, liquid rum rushing through her vein with a smooth, soft and warm sweetness. Her whole body tingled! She shuddered.

She also met two young men she fancied for quite some time and never dared looked at then in the eyes. But today was another she thought. 

She  said to them,

 “I feel like kissing someone right now!"

 "The younger one wiped his forehead with the back of his palm then replied, “Sweet Lord kiss me”.

She glided toward and planted a kiss laced with rum on his mouth.  In mid embrace she regained her some senses and decided she was not ready to lose her virtue." 

So she slid out of the arms of her almost lover and run back home and took a cold shower. When she got her senses back she wrote a song about her experience with alcohol and she warned young girls about the danger of drinking silky, decadent rum elixirs. Then she quickly wrote the recipe down before forgetting.

I will share her recipe. Drink at your own peril for it is that it is that good!
