It's fascinating. For me, it stresses yet again the need to find ways to re-use what would otherwise contribute to a landfill.
We found a whole chicken, marked down for quick sale, at the grocery, so on Tuesday we had roast chicken for dinner. I cooked basil pasta noodles in some of the turkey broth I made on Sunday, then added it to mushrooms sauteed in avocado oil with a bit of evaporated milk. Microwaved fresh broccoli completed the meal. I wanted a substantial meal because my husband has an in-office oral surgery tomorrow, which as such procedures go, should not be too bad. He has to fast after midnight.
We have leftovers, and like Joan and CWCdesign, I rejoice!
I baked Maple Granola today, as I ate the rest of the last batch for breakfast yesterday.
We had leftover stir-fry and boneless pork.
For Sunday night dinner, my husband pan-cooked some boneless pork. I roasted some potato chunks tossed in olive oil. We also microwaved what we think are the last of the green beans, but who knows?
I'm not baking today, but I am sampling a slice of yesterday's apple pie, along with some coffee. These apples are great for baking. They have a milder taste than the Winesaps that I will be using later this year. I like both. I probably will never get any more of these apples from Michigan, as we will be changing the time of the cousins' reunion. One cousin and her husband spent several days worried whether Hurricane Milton would hit their home in Florida. Fortunately, they did not sustain any damage, but they want to avoid being away during hurricane season in the future, as they would have made certain preparations, which includes their two cats.
I'm impressed that the owner of the company called you, Len.
I buy the Bakewell baking powder because I discovered that I could use less in many of my recipes, sometimes 2 1/2 or 2 tsp. instead of 3 tsp.
As both baking powder and baking soda have sodium, I often cut back the salt in baked goods and do not notice a difference.
I am making yogurt this Sunday afternoon.
I am also making turkey broth. I had the bones from one turkey in the freezer, which I combined with the bones from the turkey we had at the family reunion. No one else wants them, so I brought them back to add to ours.
Yes, Navlys. That is what I plan to do. I think that choosing a recipe that fits our nutritional needs, and that the people we cook and bake for can or will eat, is the way to go. We will cover a variety of recipes that way, and get good feedback from each other.
The house where we stayed at the reunion in Michigan is next to a house with an apple tree, and we were told two years ago that it was fine to pick them. I took some home and made a pie. The tree had some good apples again this year, although some I had to pick up off the ground. I brought nine home and on Saturday evening, I made an apple streusel pie. I peeled these apples, as the skin gets a kind of mildew, but the apples themselves are fine. These are a greenish yellow apple with a bit of red spotting on some. The pie is in the oven now. I'll report on taste and texture when we cut into it tomorrow afternoon.
We had some leftover turkey from the family reunion, so Saturday night's dinner was a stir-fry with farro, green onion, celery, yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, and kale. We have enough for another dinner.
Here is the answer about the scratches in the Crockpot that I received from my question to the manufacturer, Rival:
"We sincerely appreciate your continued support of our Crockpot. Your loyalty has been invaluable to us.
Our units are manufactured with FDA-approved coating which is a food grade. Hence, any scratch on them possesses no risk of chemical contamination.
I will advise that if this unit was recently purchased and delivered in such condition, please kindly return it to the retailer and exchange it.
Thank you for being a valued customer. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future."
I feel confident that I can use the lightly scratched crockpot. I'm also impressed that Rival continues to support crock pot users, even though they no longer sell crockpots.
My favorite coffee blends have a chocolate taste.
I find it imperative that my husband and I each have a separate spot for getting out breakfast in the morning. He is at the microwave making his oatmeal, and I am at the stove making my coffee, or sometimes making oatmeal.
One thing that bugs me about our kitchen is that because it is a galley shape in an open concept "shotgun" style home, people have to walk through it. The food storage, flour, etc. is at the back, and my workspace is at the front, so I get my steps in going back and forth, although I have the spices near the front, along with baking powder and baking soda.
What I really, really wanted was a walk-in pantry.
I just saw Aaron's post about using apples. I have made a King Arthur bread that used either diced or grated apple. I also made their apple scones. With the scones, I recall that they were great out of the oven, but that the apples tend to get a little mushy after a day or so.
