Thanks! It turns out that I don't have Bob's Red Mill, it's King
Arthur brand. They do have a recipe on the back and it calls for
xanthan gum. You'd think it would be included! Fortunately, I bought
some xanthan gum a couple of weeks ago where I buy spices and beans in
bulk, so I have it now. The jar it was in was a huge one and I got
the last tiny bit of it. Sure amazed me at how popular it is.

I understand. I've got my DIL who is gluten intolerant and hubby who
is low carbing (for reasons other than weight) - which makes it quite
a challenge to cook a meal for everyone.

I wonder if manioc can take the place of ground up tapioca pearls in
pies to thicken the juices?
