      I plan to make eclairs on Sunday.

        I tried the mixer today on "Skillet Pumpkin and Apple Cake," a recipe by Becky Krystal that was featured in a Thanksgiving segment at The Washington Post. I know that they laid off some of the recipe section people (Daniela Garza, who wrote the "Eat Voraciously" column, for one). I hope Becky is still there. I do miss the occasional great recipe that I would get at the Post when I still subscribed. We had another half inch of snow last night, so a warm, wintery cake at dinner will hit the spot. I make just a few changes to the recipe by replacing 1 ¼ of the 2 ¼ cups AP flour with white whole wheat and use King Arthur for the AP. I also add 2 Tbs. milk powder. For the topping, I cut the butter from 4 Tbs. to 2 Tbs. and make up the rest with 2 Tbs. avocado oil. If we had a lot of people around to eat it, I might do all butter, but it is just the two of us. The cake is baked in a skillet, with the topping of butter, brown sugar, apple slices, and cranberries on the bottom, then flipped over after cooling for 10 minutes.

        I tried to upload a picture, twice, but I got an "upload error" message,

          I still don't understand why you're getting errors some of the time, can you email me one of those jpg files so I can see how big it is? nolan at tssi dot com

            Mike, I sent the picture from my gmail account.
            This is the first time that I've tried to post a picture where it didn't work. Joan had some issues a while ago.

              I've increased the 'large' file size to 4500 x 6500 pixels, that should cover anything an iPhone or Android phone can generate.

              BA and Joan, try your files again and see if that helps.

                I made another batch of Maple Granola on Monday, as we were almost out after I had some for breakfast.

                  I made pizza dough and baked a pizza for International Pizza Day

                      Oh, that pizza looks yummy, Joan.

                      Mike, I'll try again on posting my picture of the cake tomorrow. (I have to do it from the other computer.)

                        I see Joan had another failed upload. :sigh:

                          That's a nice looking pizza, Joan

                            Thank you Len.

                            yep I had another fail upload, the only way I can do it now is to resize from files, my nephew helped me but it's a pain in the butt much easier before from phone, grr.

                              I still would like to have you send me the original file, what's on the site is 960 x 1280 pixels, but I don't know what the original size was.

                              Mike

                                Mike, I tried my picture again, and it failed again.
                                It's odd because I have posted previously with no problems. I use a Samsung phone. I post to the newer laptop, before I add the file here (or in this case, tried to add it).

                                  Apparently Samsung phones set at 16 megapixels do an image that is almost 5000 pixels wide, and I had it set to 4500. I set it to 6000 x 8000, try again.
