Chocomouse--Baker Irene posted about making your own chips on the now defunct KAF Baking Circle. I saved the thread and posted it here:

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Mike.

I also chose the correct answer.

[BakerAunt]

I think that the correct answer is the most popular because a lot of people bury it under a mountain of cheese or in a cream soup....

[BakerAunt]

Missed it.

I made a version a few years ago with spinach noodles, and I used low-fat evaporated milk. I chose gouda cheese (a favorite). Sigh. I don't think that I could eat it now, but there are times when its simplicity and comforting quality appeal to me.

[BakerAunt]

Wow, I never would have guessed--and I certainly did not get it correct.

[BakerAunt]

Clearly it is written for people new to the kitchen. If it sends more of them into the kitchen to do some cooking, that's great.

[BakerAunt]

I know the answer, but I misread the question. Note to self: don't answer quiz questions before morning coffee.

On Sunday evening, I baked my Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers from dough I made last week.

We are having leftover stir-fry from last night.

That is good, because at 10:30 or so Saturday evening, there was a resounding crash in the bedroom closet as the rack gave way, and the clothes came tumbling down. I had not wanted to do a Rubbermaid wire shelf; my husband now sees my point. The metal brackets are just not meant to hold that kind of weight. At the moment, we are using some freestanding clothes holders that I saved when we moved, and we are using the downstairs closet, where I insisted we put back the metal rod. The wooden shelf over it, with an additional supporting bracket in the center is working fine.

I have dinner handled. Any advice on closet systems? 🙂

Saturday night’s dinner was stir-fry, using the leftover pork chops from Wednesday. For vegetables, I used green onion, celery, carrots, a chopped eggplant, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and broccoli. I had the liquid left from deglazing the pork pan, so I added it as well. As usual, we had it with soba noodles.

I'm sure that I have read about this information. That is why I answered correctly.

[BakerAunt]

I'm not a cookie dunker--biscotti or any other type. I will eat cookies with coffee or tea. I prefer coffee with cookies where chocolate is involved. I miss shortbread and buttery sugar cookies, so I need a cookie that will work in its place and be lower in saturated fat. I've got a few, but I hope to continue expanding my repertoire.

[BakerAunt]

In the end, I like my biscotti with some oil. So, I will skip the KAF ones. I will be trying some oil substitutions in some of my butter biscotti recipes.
