As teacher, I most sincerely thank you, but it's the success of the student that makes a teacher proud. WHOOHOO!!! Congratulations on your fine culinary success!!! :-)

I'm not a Kansan but I second that !!!
Lou

IâÂÂll give that a third from California I have learned so much from you over the past few years. Thanks you for being a great teacher and taking the time to explain so many things so thoroughly.

Claudia

Thanks for such kind words. :-]

I fourth it! I have gleaned some of your responses several times to make sure I captured all the key points.

Cathy

I fifth that, Grainlady. You are a great teacher. I have learned lots from you, and look forward to every time you have something to add to the forum.

Sally

I add my thanks to you, too, grainlady.
I, too, look forward to your contribuitions here.

You are very generous in sharing your knowledge.
And always offer it in a very straight forward, informative manner.

Thank you!

Rusty

Me, too! I'm learning so much about the science of baking from you, stuff that I find really interesting. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain things in such detail. I'm finding that I'm taking baby-steps in doing some of my own problem-solving given the information that you've so generously shared.

With your knowledge & experience you really should write a book. Seriously.

Thanks from me too, grainlady. It must be a good feeling to be able to pass on the knowledge you've accumulated over the years and know other people will use it.

When you talk, we listen.

And another thanks from Ohio!

Tami

From another Midwest cook, my sincerest thanks. I like going to someone who knows! I always trust your advice.

Proverbial nationwide notoriety... I'll have to go out and buy a new, much larger, hat to accommodate my new big head from it all. My many thanks to one and all. :-)

Thanks from me to Grainlady, I always read carefully when you post information. And,...you have such a kind manner with the way you present it.

I've often said Grainlady is one class act. I like your style. I appreciate your information from experience or backing it up the way you do with references. You're blunt and to the point which rubs some the wrong way but that's their loss. I enjoy your posts and look forward to them.

Definitely one very rare teacher, and the type I'd sure like to see in our schools. So many teachers think they're a teacher, ergo, they don't need to learn anything. I like learning, especially from good teachers and especially teachers who take time to learn too.

Get yourself a big hat my dear. You've earned it. But be frugal, check the secondhand shops. There's plenty of other "teachers" around who have outgrown theirs! :D

I agree with all of you.

Grainlady, you are a class act and your response is always knowledgable, but not condescending!

Thanks from Texas also!

I still think you should write your own book! :-) I still have not tried making the sauerkraut rye recipe you gave me, but I'm sure it will be fabulous!
