@Michelle no more cookies? I was hoping that you delivered. I'd like to try the gluten free ones (yes, I'm one of those intolerant types).
Chocolate Chip Cookies - Vegan/Dairy Free/Gluten Free
2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips (any brand that certifies vegan)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Stir together the grapeseed oil, agave nectar, and vanilla extract in a smaller bowl.
Mix the liquid into the combined dry ingredients.
Form the dough into 1" balls, and press onto parchment paper lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-11 minutes. The cookies will brown very quickly toward the end, so keep a very close eye on them.

Btw, I know I don't speak up much. I did follow your whole progress.

Also, I can't imagine anyone talking over and around you.
That's what this thread is for; something to read that shows how life can change us and or experience of the world.
As far as being talked over is concerned, well, there is a pecking order of privilege in the world that is invisible to most folks, as invisible as water is to a fish. We swim in it, and it governs many of our daily interactions. I have found in meetings there is a pecking order, something like this particularly with older folks like our congregation:
- Cisgender Men, straight
- Cisgender Men, gay
- Cisgender Women, straight
- Cisgender Women, lesbian
- Androgynous Men
- Transgender Women
Being talked over is quite common. Standing up and talking very loudly while others remain seated often helps. That is, breaking social norms in an annoying and attention focusing way!
