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?
And once again, a page that won't let us access the rest of the thread until there is another post.
Interesting--it was not allowing access to the previous pages, so I posted, but then it went to the past pages, and I had to post again to get the rest of the thread.
What about waxed paper?
Before I try sweet rolls, I think that I will try just plain rolls. That will give me an idea of how large each will get.
I made another batch of yogurt on Monday.
