New registrants: if you try to register you will get a message that we are not accepting new members. Due to the limitations of this forum software which is not designed to deal with incessant CIA harrassment, we have no alternative but to disable automatic registration, and then we can't change this automatic message. Your account needs to be created by admin before you can post in the forums. Because otherwise, almost all registrants are CIA sock puppets. To get a forum account you need to send a brief presentation email to loohanforum at gee mail dot com, also suggesting a user name. Then we can enable you manually. But before you even do that, take a look around the forum and my site and decide whether you REALLY WANT to join/post, before you jack us around. Most seemingly genuine people who apply fail to even ever log in once to change their password after we go through the work of creating a membership for them. Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.

GLOSSARY: Sometimes unusual terminology or abbreviations are used that with some luck you might find defined here.

Sorghum flour

I had a lovely discussion with a gluten-intolerant repticlone at the bakery yesterday. She told me about sorghum flour, which is gluten-free.
Bob's Repticlone Mill claims it is the 5th most important cereal crop worldwide, and 3rd in the US. If so, it is mighty odd that i never heard of it. I'm almost 65, was into macrobiotics in my 20s, been into natural food for decades, have been working at a sourdough bakery for 20 years, and i never heard of any use for sorghum before except cane molasses.
But i thought i'd post it just in case anyone else never heard of it before.

From Dr Axe (Egyptoid):

I haven't tried it yet, and frankly am not in a hurry. I would avoid doing business with Arrowhead Mills (CIA proprietary) or Bob's Red Mill.
Since it doesn't have gluten it won't rise well when baked by itself. The repticlone i talked to said she adds a small amount of arrowroot starch to rice flour and sorghum flour to make it rise better.
