Congratulations on your new great-granddaughter, Chocomouse!
So much of the judging is subjective. She is a winner just for competing!

November 28, 2024 at 7:24 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of November 24, 2024? #44797That sounds like a great meal, Mike.
We re-ran our early Thanksgiving dinner again tonight.
I made a "use it up" soup to put in the freezer. I used the turkey broth from the giblets, as well as another container of turkey broth from the freezer, some mushrooms and kale that needed to be used, a large, chopped carrot, and about a cup of Bob's Red Mill Vegi-Soup mix of brown and red lentils, green and yellow split peas, and barley. It will make a good quick meal or two in December.
Those look good, Mike.
I baked my riff on Ellen's Buns on Thursday. I formed them as six large ones to use for turkey sandwiches for the next few days.
Joan--from my own experience, I think that the pan grease works best with cake batter. I've had some similar issues when I tried to use it with a thicker batter, such as for muffins or quick breads. Have other people noticed it?
I baked Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies on Wednesday.
I also baked Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from dough that I made last week.
Finally, because I have been craving them, I baked my oil-based cranberry scones and added some lemon zest. I will freeze some of these and set the others aside for breakfast tomorrow and Friday.

Clearly, baking talent runs in your family, Joan! I don't have cable so cannot watch, but I hope she does well!
November 27, 2024 at 11:58 am in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of November 24, 2024? #44783Yes, Chocomouse! I have a spare for later in the winter as well.
For those of you cooking Thanksgiving for a group:
November 26, 2024 at 7:19 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of November 24, 2024? #44779That's a great idea with the spaghetti squash, Chocomouse.
We had early Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday evening. My husband roasted the turkey. I made the blue bag Pepperidge Farm dressing, using broth for the water and chopped celery, dried parsley. We microwaved broccoli that came from the farmers market. I thawed the applesauce I made earlier this month to go with dinner. I also had some of my Cranberry and Dried Cherry Relish with Cardamom. For dessert, we had pumpkin pie.
November 26, 2024 at 12:05 pm in reply to: What are you Baking the Week of November 24, 2024? #44766Cass told me a few years ago that he was disappointed that so many people from the Baking Circle, such as Frick and Dachsundlady, Mumpy, and RobinWaban did not come to Nebraska Kitchen. Wonky and LuvyPom came but disappeared. There was also a guy from New York who was an excellent baker and a former competitive cyclist. I, too, miss them and often wonder how they are doing.
I am baking a pumpkin pie this Monday evening.
November 25, 2024 at 6:09 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of November 24, 2024? #44760Monday's dinner was the rest of the black-eyed peas and ham, the two leftover potato chips (wedges) from last night, and microwaved fresh broccoli.
As we have an excursion planned for after Thanksgiving, we will have our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Today I made Cranberry and Dried Cherry dressing with cardamom, which only I will eat, and it will last me well into December as an accompaniment to meats, stirred into plain yogurt, and eaten on toast.
I made Maple Granola on Sunday. I also baked Lime Pecan Biscotti, using limes from my lime tree.
November 24, 2024 at 6:46 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of November 24, 2024? #44750For Sunday dinner, I made Crispy Oven Fish and Chips, which we had with leftover dill tartar sauce and the rest of the coleslaw.
