      Yes, I also received it. Several people had responded on the comment section about how great the new logo is. Of course, none of them said WHY they thought it was so great.

      My takeaway from the letter is that the employee-owners selected the new logo. The email, and the discussion in the link, never said why they wanted a new logo.

        We sliced into the pie at lunch. My husband says it's the best ever, and I agree that it is delicious. Letting it sit was the right call, as that let the filling hold together when sliced. I feel confident now that I can type up this recipe and have a hard copy and an electronic copy.

          Cwcdesign--Were these fresh vegetables that you had frozen or did you buy a bag of frozen vegetables? I'm wondering if it would work with any green beans that I freeze.

          It has been unseasonably warm in north central Indiana, Chocomouse, and our area is also having all the good rain go around it.

            Sorry about the technology issues, Mike. I hope that you are able to work them out without too much hassle.

            In the meantime, we can study! I always feel, when there is a question that I have no idea what the answer is that somehow I should have studied more, although that is not possible when it isn't clear what the quiz will cover.

              It's blueberry season. We picked blueberries last week. Blueberry pie is my husband's favorite.

              On Wednesday, I baked Blueberry Crumb Pie, using my oil crust and the recipe from Carole Walter’s Great Pies and Tarts. As usual, I reduced the sugar slightly in the filling (from ¾ to 2/3 cup) as the blueberries we pick are sweet. I also only use half the streusel, and I cut the butter down to 2 Tbs. I got a late start on the pie, so it did not come out of the oven until 5:30 p.m., too late to have for dessert tonight. I look forward to having some with lunch tomorrow.

              I have about 1/2 cup of cooking liquid left from the gentle pre-cooking of the blueberries, so there will be cornmeal pancakes this weekend.

                I do enjoy Ranch dressing, Joan, both as a dressing and using the dry Ranch as seasoning. (I buy Penzey's.)

                For Wednesday (and Thursday) dinner, I made stir-fry with the leftover pork and some soba noodles. Sadly, I did not have any mushrooms or red bell pepper, but I used cut-up baby carrots, celery, broccoli, snow peas from our garden, some kale, and the liquid from deglazing the pork cooking pan yesterday. I also did not have any green onion, which meant that I found it bland, while. my husband found it fine. I put a bit of low-sodium soy sauce on my serving, which gave it more flavor.

                  I guessed and missed.

                    I agree with Italian Cook that King Arthur was working on this re-branding before Covid-19. They did some online questionnaires that came by email. I recall responding to at least two, and I have a hazy memory of the logo perhaps being mentioned.

                    That may also explain why some of their logo items are now in the sale section on their website.

                    BTW, I received an email from them today assuring loyal customers that they are still the same company, etc. and giving a $10 coupon that is good until next year. It may be that launching the re-branding during the pandemic, when people are already feeling somewhat lost, unnerved some of their customers.

                      I found some Roma tomatoes at the grocery store, so on Tuesday, I made more tomato sauce to freeze for a future pizza.

                      My husband cooked pork in the skillet for dinner. I roasted cut-up potatoes tossed with olive oil and Penzey’s Bavarian Seasoning—a blend that I received in one of their gift boxes and discovered is wonderful for roasted potatoes, so I had to order more. For the potatoes, I like using the countertop convection oven at 400 for 48 minutes. We had it with microwaved fresh broccoli.

                        I knew that I had seen this idea recently, and I finally remembered getting a Bob's Red Mill email about using their mix for it:

                        They also have a recipe that is from scratch:

                        I still like my round pancakes!

                          I'll amend my comment to state that our country would not have been a contributor with other countries to ending the Second World War if people had not been willing to sacrifice for the greater good.

                            It's the 230 years of history of the company. Let's face it, that "wheat crown" is cartoonish.

                              Our country would never have won World War II this way.

                                Yes, but one right after the other?

                                  Hmm. Two of these page problems in a row in the same thread?
