I also know this one.
We will mull over this information on monitoring refrigerator and freezer temperatures. It would probably need to be one sensor in each building.
We have fast tracked whatever was open in the refrigerator, and it seems to be fine.
On Thursday morning, I baked Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from the dough I made up last week. I had planned to bake them on Tuesday, but we were without power until later in the day and it was hot.
I have also found that Moonie's buns need to be on a higher rack and/or a heavy baking sheet, or the bottoms will get overdone.
I knew it also.
Italian Cook. I did use the KABC lime powder in place of lemon powder in one of their recipes for cupcake-sized Bundt cakes. It did have a nice lime flavor. I still have most of the jar, however. I have a lime tree, so I use the fruit and zest of the limes from it. I'm sorry that I'm not more help.
For Wednesday dinner, I made sourdough pan pizza. I topped it with my home grown, homemade tomato sauce, Canadian bacon, diced mozzarella, sliced mushrooms, two small red bell peppers from our garden, green onion, black olives on my half, and freshly grated Parmesan. It was slightly mushy in the center, probably due to the red bell pepper, but it was delicious, and we have leftovers for tomorrow.
I made tomato sauce on Wednesday afternoon to go on the pizza we had that evening. I used a bunch of tomatoes from our garden. I start with a 10-inch sauté pan, into which I put olive oil and diced garlic. I heat it slightly, then add the cut-up tomatoes. I cook, stirring as needed until much of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thick.
Thank you, S. Wirth! I wish that I had known about your recipe first. I have copied it for the next time that I have leftover mashed potatoes.
I wanted to use up leftover mashed potatoes for lunch on Wednesday, so I looked for mashed potato patty recipes online and found this one:

I had to make some changes, as I only had 1 cup of mashed potato. I used an egg, used 1 Tbs. oat bran rather than flour, used less dried chives and onion powder (should have kept those two the same), some pre-grated mozzarella that I wanted to use up, and no bacon. I used my Zeroll #16 scoop (about ¼ cup). I flattened them into about 3-inch patties, then pressed them on both sides in Panko. That not only gave them crisp, it also kept them from burning and sticking. I used grape seed oil to cook them in a skillet. These were a little hard to keep together; I should have used additional oat bran, given that I was using half the potato and the full amount of egg. These were a little bland, so I would include more chive and onion powder next time.
Sigh. I tried to post, then was told I was not logged in--even though I had answered and posted for the quiz, so my post disappeared. Let me try again.
Len--My husband was impressed with how you monitor your freezer and refrigerator temperatures. We may look into a similar set-up. We have two refrigerators with attached freezers, so we would need to monitor four locations, and one of the refrigerators is in the garage apt., which is a separate building, so I'm not sure we could monitor that one from the house. During our renovation, the cordless phone second receiver had some difficulty picking up from the interior of the main house.
We considered solar when planning our house renovation, but about the time we moved here, the legislature passed a law to "protect" the utility company from loss of revenue due to solar, and the result was that it would be the same price, and we would never recoup any of the money. We have not yet renovated the apt./garage, so it is possible that we could fit solar on the north side of its roof. The south side is shaded by a beautiful white oak during the spring, summer, and early fall.
I plan to look into some of the small solar panels that can charge a phone or other small electrics.
I managed to have my coffee yesterday when the power was out because with the gas top on the stove, I could use a match to light the burner. As for grinding the coffee beans, a few years ago Sur La Table had a sale which included a neat German coffee grinder, which I bought for just such an occasion. It works well, although I need to figure out how to adjust for a slightly coarser grind that will work for French press. (It was slightly "muddy.")
I knew this one.
I've been seeing a lot of recipes that start with roasted cherry tomatoes, then use them in a sauce.
I missed it also.
It's a good day for cobbler, Joan! On Monday I baked that Blueberry Cobbler from The King Arthur Baker’s Companion, using the same changes I made last time, except that I used lime juice in place of lemon juice, as I had a lime that I wanted to use.
I know this one.
