David eating at the table

Yesterday, David joined us at the table and ate some chicken in his new chair. The pictures are of him enjoying some whipped cream.
More pictures are
here along with a short video clip.
Life has continued to move forward. David is now thirteen months old and working on several new teeth and trying to figure out how to walk. Melody has recovered from her total hip replacement surgery from November. This coming Wednesday, she will an operation on her right hip.
This surgery is less invasive. They will do a femoral head decompression with BMA grafting. Basically they will remove the dead parts of her hip and fill the hole with her own stem cells. Then the stem cells will grow into hip cells and she'll be able to keep her hip. YEAH!!
Please pray that the procedure will go smoothly and that her body will quickly heal it's self.
For me I keep busy subbing, playing with David, and helping out around the house.
That's about it until after the surgery.
Ingredients
3/4 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
1 Tablespoon sugar
2-1/4 teaspoons dry active yeast
1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cups gf flour (what I
use)
1 teaspoon Xantham Gum (if not in flour)
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Equipment:
Stand mixer with dough hook
Directions:
1. Combine milk, sugar, and yeast in Mixer bowl. Wait until yeast blooms. You'll know by the smell.
2. Add olive oil. Turn on mixer to low.
3. Add flour and salt.
4. Once flour is combined, increase speed to medium. As dough mixes it will stick to the hook. Stop mixing when it no longer sticks.
5. Spray a surface with oil and form dough into a pie shape.
6. Oil a cast iron pan with a Tablespoon of oil. (This the key to making it crispy)
7. Put dough into the pan and stretch to make a crust. Rest for about an hour.
8. Build your pizza and bake in a 450 F oven for 12 minutes.
The results are a crust that many non-celiacs love to eat and might remind your of pizza from most national chains.
